DEPARTMENT:

OWNER:
Farmton Deering Park, LLC
APPLICANT:
Glenn Storch with Storch Law Firm
FLUM DESIGNATION:
Mixed Use
ZONING DISTRICT:
Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MUPUD)
ACREAGE:
877.50 +
STAFF SUMMARY:
The First Amended and Restated Deering Park Center Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development, as recorded in Book 7809, Page 3245 allowed for single-family and multi-family residential development. The total number of single-family and multi-family units were allowed variability, however a gross density of 1.55 units per acre and a net density of 4.25 units per net acre or a total of 1,362 units was approved. The MUPUD agreement stipulated should the developer achieve less than the 1,362 approved dwelling units, then the corresponding square footage would be used for retail, commercial, or industrial.
The Single-Family development standards of the First Amended and Restated Deering Park Center Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development is as follows:
50 foot wide by 115-foot depth lots up to a maximum of 25% of single-family lots. The remaining single-family lots must be at least 55 feet in width by 115 feet in depth.
Front (Garage) Setback = 24 feet Rear Setback = 20 feet
Front (Non-Garage Areas) = 10 feet Rear (Alley Loaded) = 15 feet
Front (Alley Loaded) = 5 feet Side Setbacks = 5 feet
Minimum Garage Capacity of 2 cars.
The applicant is requesting to amend the First Amended and Restated Deering Park Center Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development agreement with the following amendments:
1. To allow for age restricted units, which would be limited to those over the age of 55.
2. Covenants requiring the property owner’s association to maintain all landscaping and mowing within the project including individual lots.
3. Age Restricted Community will be gated and will have private roads within this segment of the development.
4. To allow no more than 50% of the age restricted homes to be built upon 40-foot-wide lots.
5. To increase the lot depth from 115 feet to 125 feet.
6. The age restricted development will be clustered to preserve natural vegetation.
7. No more than 772 units of the 1,362 units approved within the PUD agreement may be converted to the age restricted residents of 55 years of age and older.
The proposed amendment to the First Amended and Restated Deering Park Center Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development will reduce the impact on public schools.
The proposed amendment to the First Amended and Restated Deering Park Center Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development will likely reduce impacts on the potable water and sewer supplies since less residents per unit will reside in each dwelling unit. Even without the amendment, the adopted levels of service would not be impacted and there is sufficient capacity to serve the development.
Staff received the following comments from the Technical Review Committee:
Environmental Services:
1. The proposed name of the neighborhood, “Cresswind at Deering Park”, is phonetically similar to the Crestwind PUD that is south of Clinton Cemetery Road. Recommend one of the two proposed neighborhoods choose a different name to avoid confusion.
2. The cover letter references three exhibits: a map of other communities by the Developer of the same type of product being considered, pictures of features within those communities, and sample interior and exterior designs. These exhibits were not included with the review materials.
3. The letter references that the proposed 40-ft lots are intended to be “something in between single family and multifamily densities”. Please comment on how this affects the following portions of the PUD:
a. Page 4: Section 3 Development Standards, “Based on Final Subdivision Plan approval, the total number of single-family and multi-family units may vary but the maximum units allowed shall not exceed a gross density of 1.55 units/acre and a net density of 4.25 du/net acre, or a total of 1,362 units. If the Landowner and/or Developer achieves less than the 1,362 approved dwelling units, then the corresponding square footage of retail, commercial, or industrial shall be added to the permitted non-residential square footage.”
b. Page 4: Section 3 Development Standards, Residential: “In the event that single-family units are developed on the Property, the total number of units shall not exceed a total of 1,362 single-family and multi-family dwelling units. […] Minimum lot size: 50ft wide by 115ft deep for up to a total of 25% of the single-family lots in Deering Park Center. The remaining single-family lots must be at least 55ft wide by 115ft deep.”
4. The letter also envisions that the age-restricted community “will also compliment the variety of housing choices (not age-restricted) in Deering Park North and the balance of Deering Park Center”. Please provide a conceptual map and a tabulation of the proposed number of Equivalent Residential Units (ERU) to be included in the age-restricted neighborhood(s), and where this would fit within the Deering Park Center property?
5. The final paragraph of the letter states that the proposed 40-ft lots and age-restricted neighborhoods represent a “limited number” of the proposed total. What is that number?
