THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF
ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT
AS PART OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD'S FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 15, 2017), designates this site as the
following:
Neighborhood Residential
Suitable primarily for single family residential. Densities range from 2 units per acre to 4 units
per acre.
Residential Transition Overlay
Residential development that provides for a transition between land use categories and uses.Commonly
requires a transition/change in density,lot sizing,and building scaling with a specific parcel or project.
Base densities may be reduced, or units may be clustered to increase open space within a portion of a
site when property is in this overlay. Neighborhood design will be paramount in this overlay to ensure
appropriate transition between uses. See specific planning areas for further description.
Scenic Corridor
An overlay designation that is intended to provide significant setbacks from major corridors and natural
features through the city. These areas may require berming, enhanced landscaping, detached
meandering pathways and appropriate signage controls. This designation includes the Willow Creek
Scenic Corridor that is to provide increased setbacks and buffering of development including natural
vegetation and restoration,regional trails and connectivity.
B. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT WHICH ARE OF
SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
3.7 Owner shall submit a design review application(s) showing at a minimum: 1) proposed

from the site. Sheet PPL11.0, indicates 92, 2-inch caliper trees to be planted throughout the
development to mitigate for 184-caliper inches of tree being removed,leaving 16-caliper inches of
trees not being mitigated for within the development. Staff is not in agreement with the applicant's
proposed tree mitigation shown on Sheet PPL11.0. The trees they are showing highlighted in green

Section 8-2A-7(C)(2)(a),for each caliper inch of deciduous tree removed,an equivalent amount of
caliper inches is required to be replanted and for each vertical foot of coniferous tree removed,an
equivalent amount of vertical feet is required to be replanted.
