Greenbelt Areas and Landscape Screening:
Eagle City Code Section 9-3-7(a)requires 20-foot wide landscape strips to screen adjacent
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial or industrial uses from
proposed residential properties.
Page 5 of 40
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2011\The Preserve ccfdoc
Open Space:
A total of 32.40 acres (22.7%) of usable common area is proposed within the planned unit
development. The common area is a combination of linear pathways, swimming pool,
clubhouse, tot lots and playing fields and large ponds. A minimum of 20% open space is
required within a planned unit development. Planned unit developments that contain lots
that are smaller than the minimum lot size are required to have 10% open space plus a
required offset of open space for the amount of area for the area of lots that are below the
minimum lot size or 20% open space, whichever is greater.
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
Specific drainage system plans are to be submitted to the City Engineer for review and
approval prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat. The plans are to show how
swales, or drain piping, will be developed in the drainage easements. Also, the CC&R's
are to contain clauses to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and City
Attorney, requiring that lots be so graded that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to the
drainage easement, and that no runoff shall cross any lot line onto another lot except
within a drainage easement.
Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities:
Eagle City Code section 9-3-6 requires utility easements to be not less than 12-feet wide.
The applicant provided a preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on March 15, 2011,
which contains a plat note indicating that each lot contains an irrigation, drainage, and
public utilities easement 12-feet in width adjacent to a public right-of-way and the
subdivision boundary. The note goes on to state that the property lines not adjacent to a
public right-of-way shall contain a six-foot (6') wide irrigation, drainage, and public
utilities easement.
Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:
Hydrants are to be located and installed as required by the Eagle Fire District.
On-site Septic System(yes or no)—No
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:

STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted August 25, 2009), designates this site as the
following:
Residential Two
Suitable primarily for single family residential development within areas that are rural in character.
An allowable density of up to 2 units per 1 acre.
Residential Six Plus
Suitable primarily for multi-family housing including apartments, town homes and duplexes within
the urbanized setting adjacent to designated transit.corridors. An allowable density of up to 10
units per 1 acre.
Residential Transition
Residential development that provides for a transition of density within the planning area while
keeping in context the density, scaling and lot sizes of existing or proposed uses. Commonly
requires changes in lot dimensions and scaling, see specific planning area text for a complete
description.
Chapter 6—Land Use
6.5 Land Use Objectives
D. To establish the land use map and associated policies as the official guide for development in
the City of Eagle
E. To implement the land use map and associated policies through the zoning and development
review process.
Page 10 of 40
K\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\20I \The Preserve ccf doc
6.8.1 Park Lane Planning Area
The Park Lane Planning Area is designated as mixed use combining community commercial,
professional office, and a variety of residential densities. The vision for the area is to recognize the
activity center created by Eagle High School and existing development approved by Ada County
and to provide compatible land uses at densities that accommodate pedestrian scale design and
future mass transit.
A. Uses
The land use and development policies specific to the Park Lane Planning Area include the
following:
7. The area located west of Linder Road and State Street shall provide for high density
residential including apartments, town homes and patio homes, and transitioning
northward to 1-2 units per acre. Internal circulation is essential to the development of this
area; a loop/frontage road similar to Old Valley Road should be created. Uses should
focus on this roadway (not State Street) with berming and wide setbacks to be used to
buffer any residential use from the regional transportation network.
Chapter 8—Transportation
8.2.5 Residential Collectors
Mobility Function:
The primary function of a residential collector street is to intercept traffic from local streets and minor
numbers of abutting parcels and carry the traffic to a collector or arterial street. A secondary function is
to service abutting property. The ACRD allowed length and number of vehicle trips per day on
residential collectors is less than collectors. The residential collector street may serve motorized and
non-motorized transportation needs, and be designed with the minimum street section to accommodate
the projected vehicle volume. On-street parking may be prohibited.
Access Function:
To provide limited and controlled access to residential neighborhoods. Direct lot access is typically
restricted.
Right-of-Way:
As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with recommendations by the City
and seriously considered by the Highway District.
8.2.6 Local Roadways
Mobility Function:
The primary function of a local street is to serve abutting property. Local streets are to be designed to
allow on-street parking and discourage continuous or unobstructed flow of traffic through residential
neighborhoods.
Access Function:
To normally provide abutting properties with unrestricted access to the local street unless the street is a
local commercial street,in which case access restrictions may apply.
Page 11 of 4.0
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2011\The Preserve ccf.doc
Right-of-Way:
As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with recommendations by the City
and seriously considered by the Highway District.
All roadways not classified as arterials or collectors are considered local roadways.
8.3.1 Bike Lanes
Function:
Primarily used as a lane for bicycles and other non-motorized uses.
Location:
Bike Lanes usually exist on the same pavement surface as motorized lanes. Arterials and collectors
should be provided with bike lanes on each side of the roadway. Bike lanes may be required on rural
and Foothills arterials if no parallel pathway is available.
8.5 Objectives
E. Promote land use policies that limit access as necessary to maintain safe and efficient operation of
the existing street system while allowing reasonable access to individual development parcels.
F. Maintain safe and comfortable neighborhoods by minimizing speeding and cut-through traffic while
avoiding cul-de-sac streets that isolate individual neighborhoods.
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING

wall, cultured stone, decorative rock, or similarly designed concrete wall is to be provided
in combination with the berm, a four foot(4')wide flat area shall be provided for the
placement of the decorative wall. Chainlink, cedar, and similar high maintenance and/or
unsightly fencing shall not be permitted.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-6-1: Purpose, Goals, and Objective:
A. Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to establish clear development standards that will
achieve the city of Eagle's vision for development as presented in the Eagle comprehensive
plan. The standards will be designed to create livable communities that provide exemplary
open spaces and recreational opportunities, that encourage a diversification of housing types,
styles and living options for a wide range of income levels and lifestyles, and thereby enhance
the living experience within the city of Eagle.
B. Goals: To provide guidance and establish expectations for development within the city of
Eagle. The PUD provides clear standards and options for development within the city
including lot sizing, open space and the diversification of housing types.
C. Objective: To guide land development and construction through the planned unit development
(PUD)to achieve the following:
5. A development pattern in harmony with the objective for land use density, transportation and
community facilities as presented in the comprehensive plan.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-6-5: Site and Structure Regulations and Requirements:
8-6-5-2: Common Area Open Space:
D. Direct Access: A minimum of fifty percent(50%)of all lots shall be designed to be adjacent to,
or at a minimum, have direct access to common area open space. The term "direct access"
means all building lots are to be located a maximum of two hundred fifty feet(250') away
from a pathway connecting to a common area open space lot. Building lots separated from a
common area open space lot by a local roadway shall be deemed to have achieved direct
access. The required planter strip located between the sidewalk and the street will not be
permitted to fulfill this requirement.
8-6-5-5: Arrangement of Residential Units:
To encourage land use plans to be submitted as a planned unit development (PUD) so as to
provide an enhanced integration of open space and a variety of housing options, the following
design criteria shall be considered by the city:
A. All lots within the PUD shall comply with the minimum lot size in the underlying zone as
established in section 8-2-4 of this title, except that a decrease in the minimum lot size may be
allowed if there is an "offsetting increase" of the same square footage in open space and a
favorable finding is made by the council that the smaller lots are appropriately integrated into
the overall design and that the building product type is compatible with the PUD and
surrounding area.
As an incentive to submit a PUD versus a standard subdivision, the initial starting point for
minimum open space, prior to any "offsetting increase" being added, shall be the area that is
equal to ten percent(10%)of the site. This allowance shall only be permitted under the
following criteria:
Page 13 of 40
K\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2011\The Preserve ccfdoc
1. The total common area open space shall be equal to or greater than twenty percent(20%),
inclusive of the "offsetting increase" square footage.
2. A favorable finding by the council must be obtained assuring that character, identity and
architectural and siting variation are incorporated into the development and that these
factors make up a substantial contribution to the objectives of the PUD. These design
elements are as follows:
a. Landscaping, streetscape, open spaces and plazas, use of existing landscaping,
pedestrianway treatment and recreational areas;
b. Siting,visual focal points, use of existing physical features such as topography,view,
sun and wind orientation, circulation pattern, physical environment,variation in
building setbacks and building grouping(such as clustering); and
c. Design features, street sections, architectural styles,harmonious use of materials,
parking areas broken by landscaping features and varied use of housing types.
3. Setbacks for modified lots sizes shall conform with the closest compatible base zone under
section 8-2-4 of this title.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-6-2: Procedure for Approval of Planned Unit Development:
8-6-6-2: Preliminary Development Plan:
C. Approval In Principle Of Preliminary Development Plan:
1. The commission shall review the preliminary development plan to determine if it is
consistent with the intent and purpose of this title; whether the proposed development
advances the general welfare of the community and neighborhood and whether the
benefits, combination of various land uses and the interrelationship with the land uses in
the surrounding area justify the deviation from standard district regulations and its
recommendation to the council. The commission's recommendation in principle of the
preliminary development plan shall be necessary before an applicant may submit a final
development plan. Approval in principle shall not be construed to endorse a precise
location of uses, configuration of parcels or engineering feasibility.
2. The council shall consider all provisions of this chapter including the general standards
applicable to conditional use permits and criteria for conditional uses before approving in
principle a preliminary development plan. The council may, upon the finding that unique
or special circumstances exist with regard to the preliminary development plan, consider
specific deviations from the requirements of this chapter provided conditions are placed on
the PUD to assure that it will be designed and operated in accordance with goals and
objectives of this chapter.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-7-3: Conditional Use Permit:
8-7-3-2: General Standards for Conditional Uses:
The commission/council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed
conditional use in terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence showing
that such use at the proposed location:
A. Will, in fact, constitute a conditional use as established in section 8-2-3 of this title for the
zoning district involved;
Page 14 of 40
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2011\The Preserve ccfdoc
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any
specific objective of the comprehensive plan and/or this title;

Page 17 of 40
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\201 I\The Preserve ccf doc
D. Pathway Design: While the city may exercise considerable discretion in determining the
design of pathways,the following minimum standards shall be followed:
1. The paved portion of the pathway may range from six feet(6')to ten feet(10') in width.
Micropathways within subdivisions which are designed for primary use by the residences
of the subdivision shall be a minimum eight feet(8')wide and shall be located within a
sixteen foot(16')wide pedestrian access easement, however, in an area where low volume
pedestrian traffic is anticipated,the council may consider a reduction in pathway width to
six feet(6'). Regional pathways such as the Boise River greenbelt and pathways located
adjacent to major roadways shall be a minimum ten feet(10')wide and shall be located
within a twenty foot(20')wide pedestrian access easement.
3. A five foot(5')wide landscaped area/building and fence setback, as measured from both
edges of the paved path, shall be required, and will be owned by either the abutting
property owner(s)or a homeowners'association unless accepted by a public entity. The
five foot(5')wide landscaped area on either side of the pathway may be decreased to a
minimum of two feet(2')wide(as measured from the edge of asphalt to the easement line)
when used in conjunction with a meandering pathway, however, the total width of the
landscape area shall not be less than ten feet(10')(i.e., 2 feet on one side of the path and 8
feet on the other). For safety purposes, planting material in this area is limited to three feet
(3') in height. The landscape, fence and building regulations for this area shall be indicated
by a note on the plat.
6. In order to design for crime prevention,the following design standards will be followed:
a. The use of"see through", open fencing, such as wrought iron, is preferred, as it
provides better visibility from adjacent homes or buildings. Solid fencing is
prohibited.
E. Responsibility: The following provisions are intended to provide guidance to those entities that
are responsible for construction,maintenance and/or liability for a pathway. Installation costs,
which may include construction of the paved path, are the responsibility of the developer.
1. Homeowners' Association:
a. Pathway systems within a proposed subdivision providing access to private common
space and/or other amenities that are used solely by the residents of a subdivision shall
be the responsibility of the homeowners' association.
b. Where the residents of a subdivision will be the primary beneficiaries of a pathway,
and travel from adjoining neighborhoods will be minimal, a homeowners' association
may be required to take responsibility for that path.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-7: Bicycle Pathways:
A bicycle pathway system shall be provided within all subdivisions as part of the public right of
way, within a common area, or separate easement, as may be specified by the city council.

• Eagle City Code Section 9-5-4: Planned Unit Development Subdivisions:
A planned unit development is a mechanism by which the city may permit a variety in type,
design, and arrangement of structures; and enable the coordination of project characteristics with
features of a particular site in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. A
planned unit development allows for innovations and special features in site development,
including the location of structures, conservation of natural land features, conservation of energy
and efficient utilization of open space. Large scale developments as defined herein shall be
submitted as planned unit developments.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-5-4-3: Site and Structure Requirements:
F. Open Space: The location of open space shall be appropriate to the development and shall be
of such shape and area to be usable and convenient to the residents of the development.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-5-5: Large Scale Development; Required Information:
Large scale development subdivisions proposed within the R-2, R-3, R-4, and MU zoning districts
shall be submitted as planned unit developments. I)ue to the impact that a large scale development
would have on public utilities and services,the developer shall submit the following information
along with the preliminary plat:
A. Identification of all public services that would be provided to the development including, but
not limited to, fire protection, police protection, central water, central sewer, road construction,
parks and open space, recreation, maintenance, schools and solid waste collection;
B. Estimate of the public service costs to provide adequate service to the development;
C. Estimate of the tax revenue that will be generated from the development; and
D. Suggested public means of financing the services for the development if the cost for the public
services would not be offset by tax revenue received from the development.
D. DISCUSSION:
• The Comprehensive Plan delineates three land use designation for this property: High Density
Residential, Transitional Residential, and Residential Two.

• 10-acres (7.6%) of the site is designated High Density Residential. Based on a density of six (6)
dwelling units per acre the total number of dwelling units allowed would be 60-dwelling units.
51.4-acres (36.6% of the site) is designated as Transitional Residential and is intended to provide
an area that allows for a gradual decrease in density between the high density residential
designation located along State Street and the Residential Two designation further north. Based on
a density of three (3) dwelling units per acre the total number of dwelling units allowed would be
154-dwelling units.
81-acres (55.7% of the site) is designated as Residential Two with a maximum density of two (2)
units per acre. Based on a density of two (2) dwelling units per acre the total number of dwelling
units allowed would be 162-dwelling units.
Combining the total number of dwelling units for the overall site the number of dwelling units that
would be allowed is 376. The applicant is proposing 371-dwelling units with an overall density
for the entire development of 2.61-dwelling units/acre.
• The applicant has submitted a rezone, development agreement modification, preliminary
development plan and conditional use permit for a planned unit development, and preliminary plat
applications for a redesign of the originally approved Eaglefield Estates Planned Unit
Development. The applicant is requesting that the area currently zoned R-3-DA-P (Residential up
to three units per acre with a development agreement—PUD) and the area south of the Middleton
Canal currently zoned R-2-DA-P (Residential up to two units per acre with a development
agreement — PUD) be rezoned to R-4-DA-P (Residential up to four units per acre with a
development agreement— PUD). The applicant is also requesting the area north of the Middleton
Canal currently zoned R-2-DA-P (Residential up to two unit per acre with a development
agreement — PUD) be rezoned to R-3-DA-P (Residential up to three units per acre with a
development agreement—PUD).
• Eaglefield Estates Planned Unit Development was originally approved as a 369-lot (312-single
family lots, 15-four-plex lots, and 41-common lots, 1-well lot) residential subdivision. The
executed development agreement (instrument # 106057136) associated with the development
contains a condition of development that limits the overall density of the development to 2.61-
dwelling units per acre (312 single family lots and 15 four-plex lots). The 312 single-family lots
plus the 15 four-plex lots is the equivalent of 372-dwelling units. The proposed density with The
Preserve Planned Unit Development of 371-dwelling units is commensurate with the 372-dwelling
units approved for the Eaglefield Estates Planned Unit Development.
The applicant previously applied for, and received approval of, a modification of the existing
development agreement associated with the site to eliminate the requirement of constructing four-
plex multi-family residential dwellings within the area located south of Escalante Drive(RZ-17-04
MOD2). The applicant is proposing to shift the remaining density associated with the four-plex
multi-family dwelling units (approximately 43-dwelling units) into the undeveloped portion of the
development north of Escalante Drive. Although the density is being transferred on the site further
to the north the overall impact on services will remain the same since the proposed overall density
of the development remains unchanged.
• The applicant provided a narrative, date stamped by the City on January 24, 2011, which indicated
that the neighborhood design was modified to create a more diversified residential community that
will appeal to a larger group of homebuyers. The modified development will allow the developer
to provide an assortment of housing styles and lot sizes with the intention of reviving the
neighborhood by appealing to several different types of homebuyers. The development will
contain approximately 32.4-acres (excluding canal lots) which is 22.7% of the overall
development. The open space will consist of an interconnected series of ponds and parks along a
Page 20 of 40
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\201 I\The Preserve ccfdoc
pathway system. The applicant is also proposing to construct a swimming pool complex and pool
house within an open space lot. Also, other open space lots will contain play equipment and picnic
facilities. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, a minimum of 50% of all lots should be designed to be
adjacent to, or at a minimum, have direct access to common area open space. With this proposal
approximately 67.9% of the homes are either adjacent to or have direct access to open space. The
proposed development is in conformance with Eagle City Code with regard to the percentage of
lots that have direct access to open space. However, the preliminary plat date stamped by the City
on March 15, 2011, does not show any pathway connection from Lot 1, Block 26 to the north.
There is a section of residential lots adjacent to West Rosslare Drive that do not have direct access
to open space. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary development plan/preliminary
plat showing an additional north-south pathway connection located approximately mid-block
(Block 28) between West Steadmore Drive and West Rosslare Drive in alignment with Lot 1,
Block 26. The revised preliminary development plan/preliminary plat should be provided prior to
the City Council approval of a future final development plan/final plat.
• The City received an email from the applicant, date stamped by the City on June 3, 2011, which
provided a schedule of development timeline and a phasing exhibit for the development of The
Preserve Planned Unit Development. The schedule of development for Phases 3-8 are proposed to
be completed as two (2) phases in a given year to be completed bi-annually. Phases 7-8 are
proposed for development in the spring of 2017. Pursuant to Eagle City Code unless a final plat
application is filed within one (1) year after the date the City Council action was taken the
preliminary plat will become null and void. Phased subdivisions do not need time extensions
provided the construction of improvements do not cease for more than one year in any given
phase. Also, pursuant to Eagle City Code, if the development is constructed in an orderly and
reasonable manner, conforms to the phasing plan, and is submitted in successive intervals for one
(1) year, the preliminary plat may be considered for final approval without resubmission for
preliminary plat approval. Once a final plat application is filed with the city and the final plat is
approved the applicant has one(1)year to record the final plat. Based on the submitted schedule of
development timeline it appears that the schedule of development between some phases will
exceed the one (1)year expiration timeframe. The applicant has indicated within the email that the
dates of development are only an estimate and are subject to change based on market conditions.
Since the applicant is proposing the timing of development to extend longer than what is
permitted, pursuant to Eagle City Code, a condition of development should be incorporated into
the development agreement to address the proposed timing based on the submitted plan. Based on
the proposed schedule of development timeline all final plat applications submitted in compliance
with the approved preliminary plat phasing plan should be submitted in an orderly and reasonable
manner in intervals not to exceed eighteen (18) months following the recordation of the preceding
final plat. Such final plat applications should be considered for final approval without
resubmission of the preliminary plat for approval. Any final plat should be recorded within
eighteen (18) months following Eagle City Council action on the final plat; provided however,
Eagle City Council may approve the extension of such eighteen (18) month period, which
approval should not be unreasonably withheld, for a period of time not to exceed two (2) years to
facilitate the completion of improvements required by the applicable sections of Eagle City Code.
As part of its consideration to extend the time frame in this Section, Eagle City Council may
require the applicant to adhere to subdivision ordinances and resolutions in effect at the time the
extension is requested.
• The applicant has provided elevations showing several typical house styles for the development
with "Craftsman", "Americana", and "Ranch" styles of architecture. Although there are several
house styles shown with variations of those styles further additional standards should be placed in
the CC&R's to ensure that a specific house style does not become monotonous in any given area.
Page 21 of 40
K,\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2011\The Preserve ccf doe
• Several of the residential lots are located adjacent to common lots. Pursuant to past actions by the
City Council, open fencing such as wrought iron has been required adjacent common lots to
increase the open feel of the area and reduce the closing off of reduced size lots. All fencing
adjacent to common space (with the exception of pathway lots) should be open fencing
constructed of wrought iron or similar material reviewed and approved by the Eagle Design
Review Board and the Eagle City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Based upon the information provided staff recommends approval of the requested rezone with
development agreement, conditional use permit, preliminary development plan, and preliminary
plat for The Preserve Planned Unit Development with conditions to be placed within a
development agreement and subdivision site specific conditions of approval and standard
conditions of approval, all as provided within the staff report.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 20,
2011, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission made
their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by no
one(other than the applicant/representative).
C. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the City Council by one (1) individual
representing the bank that owns the adjacent property located east of Eaglefield Estates Subdivision.
The individual indicated that Escalante Drive (which provides access to Eaglefield Estates
Subdivision) was located on an easement instead of a dedicated right-of-way. Upon the foreclosure of
the adjacent property the bank eliminated the easement that Escalante Drive was located within. The
individual indicated that Escalante Drive, which provides access to Eaglefield Estates Subdivision, is
now a private road and the property owners within Eaglefield Estates Subdivision do not have
approved access at this time.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
Upon closing the public hearing,the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• They are concerned with the closure of Ecalante Drive (residential collector) between the
development and Linder Road. They also voiced their concern regarding the amount of
traffic that will use Rosslare Court to access Linder Road. They recognize the fact that
Ada County Highway District has restricted the number of homes that may be constructed
until such time additional access to the development is provided.
• They indicated that the open space and design of the development will be a nice amenity
for Eagle.
COMMISSION DECISION REGARDING THE REZONE:
The Commission voted 4 to 0 (Villegas absent) to recommend approval of RZ-01-01 for a rezone
from R-3-DA-P (Residential up to three units per acre with a development agreement—PUD) and R-
2-DA-P (Residential up to two unit per acre with a development agreement — PUD) to R-4-DA-P
(Residential up to four units per acre with a development agreement — PUD) and R-3-DA-P
(Residential up to three units per acre with a development agreement — PUD) and a modification to
the development agreement for Coleman Homes, LLC, by amending and restating the original
development agreement (recorded as Instrument No. 106057136) and development agreement
modification (recorded as Instrument No. 109031309) provided within their findings of fact and
conclusions of law, dated July 5, 2011.

a. That the proposed PUD is in the public interest, advances the general welfare of the
community and neighborhood, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community.
The intent of The Preserve PUD is to provide a development with a transition of lot sizes,
variety of single housing types, and usable open space with pathways interconnected with
adjacent development; and
