KARR, CITY CLERK STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Robert Miklo Item: REZ05-00025/SUB06-00020 Peninsula Neighborhood, amended plat and Planned Development Overlay (OPD plan) Date: December 21, 2006 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Peninsula Development Company 1089 Foster Road Iowa City, IA 52245 Contact Person: Kevin Marrow 3198871000 Requested Action: Approval of amendments to preliminary plat and OPD plan. Purpose: 118 residential lots Location: At the west end of Foster Road Size: Approximately 35.4 acres Existing Land Use and Zoning: Undeveloped and residential, OPD-5 Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Residential, OPD-5 South: Golf course, P1 East: Golf course, ID-RS West: Park, P1 Comprehensive Plan: Residential 2-8 dwelling units per acre File Date: November 27,2006 45 Day Limitation Period: January 11, 2007 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The preliminary Planned Development Overlay (OPD) and plat for the Peninsula neighborhood were approved in May 2001. The final plat for phases 1 and 2 were approved in 2003. The applicant is now proposing amendments to the preliminary OPD and plat as discussed in detail below. ANALYSIS The most significant change proposed by the applicant is the removal of McCleary Lane in Phase 3. In the original plan McCleary Lane was a pedestrian lane located between Canton Street and Ball Street. It was to have 6 small bungalow lots on each side. Vehicular access would have been from two alleys that would have run parallel to the lane (a copy of the original plan is attached). The applicant is proposing to reconfigure the area to create 3 single-family lots that would front on Canton Street and 6 town house units that would front on Ball Street. ppdadmirJstfreplrezOS-Q0025peninsula,doc 1 .__.,-------_.__._~-----~---_._'---,.- The applicant has indicated the reasons for the proposed change are the marketability of such small lots and the limited off street parking for these lots. In staff's view the proposed change in design is compatible with the lot configuration of the adjacent single-family land townhouse lots. The applicant is also proposing to amend the Peninsula Neighborhood Code to add specifications for two more building types. The Peninsula Neighborhood Code (a document that is part of the OPD) specifies height, and placement of buildings on the lots in lieu of standard setbacks. Each of the eight building types currently contained in the Code includes an illustration depicting typical zoning requirements. The applicant is proposing to add a bungalow building type that would include an attached garage and driveway/parking pad behind the garage (see attached illustrations). Because this building type would leave little unpaved open space on the lot, it is proposed to generally be restricted to corner lots adjacent to alleys where the open side yard helps create a sense of open space. The original OPD plan proposed multi-unit buildings on Outlots U and 0 but did not contain detailed building placement specifications. The applicant has drafted specifications to be included in the Code to guide the construction of buildings on Outlots U and O. The Multiple- Unit Building type is likely to contain underground parking rather than parking areas at the rear of the lot as required for the Small Apartment Building type currently contained in the code. Staff believes that the Multiple-Unit Building and Bungalow are appropriate additions to the Peninsula building types. However, staff just received the proposed amendments to the Building Placement Standards and has not had time to completely review them. We hope to have them reviewed prior to the Commission meeting. The applicant is proposing revisions to the phasing plan. Lots from phase 5 would be included in phase 2a (phase 5 would be eliminated so that there would be only 4 phases). This change will allow the larger lots on the northwest side of Walker Circle to be developed sooner rather than waiting for development of phases 3 and 4. The applicant has indicated that there is market interest in these larger lots. In addition to these significant amendments the applicant is proposing a number of minor changes to the preliminary plat and OPD. These include: Lot 68 in Phase 3 is now labeled with 4 live work units (the previous plan did not have a unit count for this lot); the shared driveway between lots 54 and 55 would be eliminated due to topographic conditions; in Phase 1, lot 7a would be eliminated and the lot area added to the adjacent lots; in phase 2a the Required Street Building Line (similar to a set back) for lots 99-109 would increase from 7 feet to 12 feet; and the building placement standards that would have applied to McCleary Lane would be removed to reflect the elimination of McCleary Lane from the plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the amended preliminary OPD and plat of Peninsula Neighborhood Addition be approved subject to staff review and approval of the revised Building Placement Standards.
