NARRATIVE RESPONSE TO FINAL
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) CHECKLIST REQUIRED ITEM NO. 16.E – DESIGN
OBJECTIVES AND PUD REVIEW CRITERIA
16.E. Design objectives and PUD review criteria.
1. The city will determine compatibility of a project based upon the evidence presented during evaluation of the community design objectives and criteria of this chapter.
2. In addition to the criteria for all site plan and conditional use reviews, the following criteria will be used in evaluating all planned unit development applications.
a. All development. All land uses within a proposed planned unit development shall be reviewed against, and comply with, the applicable objectives and criteria of the mandatory
"all development" group.
(1) Does the development comply with all city design standards, requirements and specifications for the following services: water supply, trails/walks/bike ways, sanitary supply, irrigation companies, fire protection, electricity, flood hazard areas,
natural gas, telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets?
Yes, all relaxations are requested in the attached write up.
(2) Does the project preserve or replace existing natural vegetation?
Yes, refer to part 16.a of the PUDF– response to LU-4
(3) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to produce an efficient, functionally organized and cohesive planned unit development?
Yes, that is the intent of this project
(4) Does the design and arrangement of elements of the site plan (e.g., building construction, orientation, and placement; transportation networks; selection and placement of landscape materials; and/or use of renewable energy sources; etc.) contribute to the overall reduction of energy use by the project?
Yes, specifically provision of pedestrian facilities, and connection to public wastewater collection and water distribution system.
(5) Are the elements of the site plan (e.g., buildings, circulation, open space and landscaping, etc.) designed and arranged to maximize the privacy by the residents of the project?
Yes, alley loaded garages and additional improvements proposed with the open space master plan will further buffer Bridger Vale residential units from Sunfish
Park residences to the south of the open space. Wide boulevards, bur oak and elm tree plantings in the boulevard will also achieve this goal.
(6) Park land. Does the design and arrangement of buildings and open space areas contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of the site configuration, and has the area

#14486 PUDF, ITEM #16.E
of park land or open space been provided for each proposed dwelling as required by section 38.27.020.
Known residential lots equate to a density of 20 units / 1.77 acres = 11.4 dwelling
units (d.u.) per acre. This project provides 0.69 acres of public park and 1.14 acres of common open space be deeded to the BSRC. The required parkland dedication is
14.2 d.u. x 0.03 acres per d.u. = 0.42 acres + 0.54-acre REMU remainder lot x 8
d.u. per acre x 0.03 =0.42 acres + 0.13 acres = 0.55 acres. There may or may not be residential units on the remainder lot; at this time only commercial condos are proposed. An excess of required parkland has been provided.
The addition of the 1.14-acre open space to the EGRA greatly contributes to the
aesthetic quality of the site and the improvements to the open space proposed by the BSRC will further enhance this site.
(7) Performance. All PUDs shall earn at least 20 performance points. Nonresidential developments within the North 19th Avenue/Oak Street corridor shall earn 30 points. Points may be earned in any combination of the following. The applicant shall select the combination of methods but the city may require documentation of performance,
modifications to the configuration of open space, or other assurances that the options selected shall perform adequately.
(a) Additional open space.
(i) One point for each percent of the project area that is provided as non-public open space; or 1¼ points for each percent of the project area that is provided as publicly accessible open space.
33% (49,710 SF Open Space Lot 1/149,669 Remainder of Tract GLR-1A)
of the project will be platted as publicly accessible open space, therefore: 1.25 x 33 = 41.25 performance points are earned and the PUD requirement is achieved.
(ii) The portion of the project to be considered in determining the size of
area to be provided for open space shall be the gross project area less areas dedicated and transferred to the public, and/or used to meet the park lands requirements of subsection E.2.a.(6) of this section. The area
provided for open space shall be exclusive of yard setbacks on individually owned lots and interior parking lot landscaping, and subject to the performance standards of article 27 of this chapter. The area may be provided through a combination of one or more of the following means:
(B) Open space within the project boundaries and developed as usable recreation space with a corresponding public use easement;
The project meets this requirement.
(C) Outside of the project boundaries as an addition to an existing
off-site park adequate in location and size to meet the recreational needs of the residents;

The open space parcel will be donated to the EGRA for further enhancement and connection to the existing park trails.
(k) Streetscape improvements (6 points): Streetscape design features that exceed the minimum street standards including street furniture, pedestrian lighting, low-impact development techniques, on-street parking standards, crosswalks, landscape and planting, way-finding, public art or other design elements. Such elements must be installed as part of the street infrastructure.
A mid-block crossing and crosswalk is provided
(l) Total Performance Points Proposed
41.25 (b) + 6 (k)=47.25 Points Proposed
(8) Is the development being properly integrated into development and circulation patterns of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated "pad" to adjoining development?
Yes, there is adequate provision of transportation improvements to promote
movement between the adjacent mixed use district, and the existing EGRA; further
municipal improvements and implementation of the EGRA park plan will further enhance interconnectivity between existing Sunfish Park Development and the
REMU districts.
e. Mixed use. Planned unit developments in mixed-use areas (REMU, UMU zoning districts) may include commercial, light industrial, residential and mixes of various primary and accessory uses. The particular types or combination of uses shall be determined based upon its merits, benefits, potential impact upon adjacent land uses and the intensity of development.
(1) Is the project substantially consistent with the intent and purpose statements for the underlying zoning district? Yes, the development is adjacent to an existing mixed use development and 20 residential units along with a 0.54-acre commercial lot are
proposed with this PUD.
(2) Is the project located adjacent or within proximity to an arterial or collector street that provides adequate access to the site? Yes, Manley Road is a collector street.
(3) Is the project on at least two acres of land? Yes, Tract GLR-1 is a 6.49 acre lot.
(4) Do the uses relate to each other in terms of location within the PUD, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, architectural design, utilization of common open space and
facilities, streetscape, etc.? Yes, residents would likely frequent any commercial establishment proposed and may possibly be employed at the commercial lot, the existing Map Brewery and adjacent Galatin Park Sub. are accessible via proposed
