Preliminary Plat Application
Introduction
Since its original approval in 2002, the overall design of the award-winning Valley West Planned
Unit Development (PUD) has continued to mature and adjust to ongoing parks and wetlands
design, changing land use regulations and policies and developing adjoining properties as well as
overall market conditions. Note that several significant land use changes have recently occurred –
most notably, a school and church have been constructed on the property west of Ferguson Avenue
in place of what was originally contemplated as a residential neighborhood.
This application includes a subdivision Preliminary Plat for Phase 5 and 6 (79 lots with 10 ADUs).
The master plan (see Green Plan) shows the overall development of the entire 65 acres of the Lakes
at Valley West Planned Unit Development.
A Preliminary PUD application has also been submitted in parallel to the Preliminary Plat. The
PUD proposes to complete this quality neighborhood by creating progressive residential pocket
neighborhoods that are all connected by open spaces, trails, streets and enhanced alleys inspired
by the European planning concept of a woonerf. Woonerfs are described in the Unified
Development Code as: “streets where pedestrians and cyclists have priority over motorists…
Woonerfs may be permitted on public local streets or alleys through the… PUD process”
(38.09.030).
There are several important known factors that influence and dimensionally challenge the overall
site and design including the existing lakes, Baxter Creek Natural Area, the location of Laurel
Parkway, the connections for Westgate Avenue, required access separation on Durston Road, the
watercourse setback on Baxter Creek and a section of the watercourse setback along Aajker Creek.

Document Organization
The included content has been organized in a logical way to help ease navigation, and generally
follows the order of the requirements in the Preliminary Plat Checklist. Where the Plans and
Specifications submittal requirements require an order different than the Preliminary Plat
Checklist, the Plans and Specifications policy has been utilized. The printed application set
includes the following category items in accordance with the Plans and Specifications
requirements:
- Cover sheet
- Application forms and checklists
- Narratives/responses/photographs
- Legal documents
- Plans
- Technical Reports
The digital application includes the required three category of items from the Plans and
Specifications requirements. The first four items on the above list are included as Documents.
The technical reports are included as Appendices.
The PUD, as mentioned above, parallels this submittal. There are some elements of the PUD
application that are duplicated in this application to address specific submittal requirements for the
preliminary plat. Additional specifics to the planned unit development can be found it that
submittal.
