HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem III PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JANUARY 5, 2021 ITEM III: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE CHANGE FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 5 DISTRICT (SR-5) TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 5 DISTRICT WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY (SR-5-PD) AND APPROVAL OF A GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A POCKET NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LINDEN OAKS DRIVE & W. 9TH AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Owner /Applicant: Evergreen Retirement Community Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Single Family Residential 5 District (SR- 5) to Single Family Residential 5 District with a Planned Development Overlay (SR-5-PD). The applicant also requests approval of General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to allow for development of a “pocket neighborhood”. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles. Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area consists of an approximately 10.55 acre vacant parcel with frontage on W. 9h Avenue and Linden Oaks Drive. The surrounding area consists of single family land uses along with a church immediately to the north. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plans recommends low density residential use for the subject area.

Although the site will function similar to a residential subdivision, the development will fall under the purview of a multi-family development as all homes will be located within a single lot. All homes will be single-family ranch style residences for older adults and the site will also include a club house. As multi-family uses are not permitted within the SR-5 zoning district, the property will need to be rezoned to include a Planned Development Overlay to request a Base Standard Modification (BSM) to allow the proposed use. Staff is supportive of a BSM to allow the proposed multi- family use as the pocket neighborhood will have a density of 3.79 units per acre, which is in line with the density provision for the SR-5 District (5 units per acre) and is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation of low density residential. Staff feels that the proposed use will be compatible with development patterns in the surrounding area. The applicant sent a letter notifying surrounding property owners of the proposed development and held a virtual meeting December 1, 2020 to discuss the plans. The neighbors were generally supportive of the proposed land use. Zone Change The applicant is requesting a zone change to add a Planned Development Overlay to the existing Single Family Residential 5 (SR-5) base zoning to allow for the proposed multi-family land use. Staff is supportive of adding the Planned Development Overlay for this purpose as the intent is to accommodate a unique land use. Site Design The site will have two access, one from W. 9th Avenue and one from Linden Oaks Drive. The total impervious surface ratio for the site will be about 38.78%, which is under the maximum of 50% for the SR-5 district. Each home will have a two car attached garage with driveway access for an additional two spaces. The site will also have 21 surface parking spaces near the club house and detached garage. Total parking for the site exceeds the minimum multi-family parking requirement of 2 spaces per dwelling unit containing 0-2 bedrooms, plus 0.5 space per additional bedroom over 2 bedrooms per unit and 1 guest parking space for every 3 dwelling units. Required Provided Parking Spaces Minimum: 93 181 Impervious Surface Maximum: 50% of lot 38.78% of lot Page 2 ITEM III: Rezone, GDP & SIP W. 9th Ave. & Linden Oaks Dr. 3 Minimum Provided Front Setback (9th Ave.) 25 ft. 25 ft. Front Setback (Linden Oaks Dr.) 25 ft. 25 ft. Side Setback (east) 7.5 ft. 11 ft. Side Setback (west) 7.5 ft. 25 ft. Rear Setback (south) 25 ft. 61 ft. A BSM is being requested to allow reduced separation of principal structures to 8 ft. for several homes on the southern portion of the site, where code requires a minimum principal structure separation of 10 feet. Staff is supportive of this BSM, provided the structures meet fire rating standards per approval by the Inspections Services Division. A club house with an approximate 2,475 sq. ft. outdoor patio area is provided on the north side of the site, meeting the minimum recreation area requirement of 200 sq. ft. plus 25 sq. ft. per bedroom. The code-required pedestrian access is provided in the form of a sidewalk network through the site that connects to the 9th Avenue right-of-way. Storm Water Management/Utilities The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water management and utilities for the area. Public Works has noted that sewer and water access will be off of 9th Avenue only and coordination with the City right-of-way reconstruction process will be required. The final storm water management plans will be approved during the Site Plan Review process. Landscaping Page 3 ITEM III: Rezone, GDP & SIP W. 9th Ave. & Linden Oaks Dr. 4 Points Required Points Provided Single family homes 3,000 (75 per building) 641 Building Foundation (Club House) 117 138 Building Foundation (garage) 79 80 Paved Area 515 (154.5 tall trees, 206 shrubs) 2,174 (1,850 tall trees, 324 shrubs) Street Frontage (9th Avenue) 533 (266.5 medium trees) 570 (0 medium trees) Street Frontage (Linden Oaks) 418 (209 medium trees) 405 (0 medium trees) Yards 1,580 ~3,000 existing trees Total 6,242 7,008 Building Foundation The building foundation landscaping point requirement of 40 landscaping points per 100 linear feet of building foundation is being met for the community club house and the garage. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow a reduction of the required building foundation points. Staff is supportive of this BSM as these are single family residential style units, which typically would be exempt from the requirement. The overall site exceeds the total point requirement to offset this BSM. Paved Area The paved area requirement of 40 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of paved area is being met. The code further specifies 30% of all points will be devoted to tall trees and 40% will be devoted to shrubs. A tall deciduous/shade tree is required at the ends of all parking rows. These requirements are also being met. Street Frontage Code requires 100 points per 100 feet of street frontage. The landscaping ordinance also specifies that 50% of the required points must be devoted to medium trees. The landscape plan shows tall trees along both the 9th Avenue and Linden Oaks Drive frontages, meeting the total point requirement for 9th Avenue and slightly short of the requirement on Linden Oaks Drive. The plan does not show medium trees along either frontage. The applicant will need to meet the minimum total point requirement and medium tree requirement along both frontages. This can be addressed during the Site Plan Review process. One tree appears to be located within the corner vision clearance triangle at the corner of 9th Avenue and Linden Oaks Drive. The applicant will need to verify that nothing is located within the triangle. This can be verified during Site Plan Review as well. Page 4 ITEM III: Rezone, GDP & SIP W. 9th Ave. & Linden Oaks Dr. 5 Yards Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The applicant notes that approximately 30 existing tall trees will remain on the site which will contribute toward the yard landscaping to meet this requirement. The landscaping ordinance states that landscape points shall be doubled for mature existing plantings that are retained and protected with the development of the site. The applicant will need to provide a final number and species of existing mature trees to verify that this points total is accurate. This can also be addressed during Site Plan Review. Signage The submitted site plan shows a monument sign along 9th Avenue, which meets the 25’ setback requirement. A rendering of the proposed sign was not included. The sign will need to be compliant with multi-family signage standards. This can be addressed under a separate building permit. Site Lighting The applicant submitted a photometric plan that appears to meet lighting standards. The proposed lighting meets the .4 foot-candle minimum requirement for parking areas and has no more than .5 foot-candles of light trespass at the property line, with the exception of the driveway entrances. The applicant has requested a BSM to exceed the maximum of 0.5 fc at the right-of-way line to ensure visibility at the entrances. Staff is supportive of a BSM to allow the increased lighting as it will not negatively impact neighboring properties. The proposed 16 ft. height of the light poles/fixtures complies with the 16 foot maximum height for the SR-5 zoning district. Building Facades Front and rear elevations of residences Final building elevation renderings have been submitted for the project. As all units will be single family residential style structures, the homes will need to meet single family residential design standards for new homes. The provided elevations appear to meet the material requirements as well as the 25% door window requirement for front facades. Staff feels that the Page 5 ITEM III: Rezone, GDP & SIP W. 9th Ave. & Linden Oaks Dr. 6 residential-style appearance of these facades will be compatible with the surrounding single- family residential land uses. Refuse Enclosure Plans for the site do not include a refuse enclosure. The applicant will be utilizing private trash pick-up. If dumpsters are to be placed on the site in the future, they must meet dumpster enclosure code requirements for material and location. Overall Site The applicant is requesting BSMs related to the land use, building separation and building foundation landscaping. To offset these BSMs, the applicant has significantly exceeded the overall landscaping point requirement for the site. Staff is comfortable that the applicant has adequately offset the requested BSMs and the overall site is complimentary to the surrounding area. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine such consistency.) (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site. (d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of uses being proposed for the Planned Development project, including but not limited to public sewer and water and public roads. (e) The proposed Planned Development project will incorporate appropriate and adequate buffers and transitions between areas of different land uses and development densities/intensities. (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. (h) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the area. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter. Page 6 ITEM III: Rezone, GDP & SIP W. 9th Ave. & Linden Oaks Dr. 7 Staff recommends approval of the rezone, General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan with the findings listed above and the proposed following conditions: 1. BSM to allow multi-family residential use in a Single Family Residential 5 District (SR-5) 2. BSM to allow reduced principal structure separation to 8 feet. 3. BSM to allow reduced building foundation landscaping points for residences to 641 points, where code requires 3,000 points. 4. BSM to allow lighting level to exceed 0.5 fc at the 9th Avenue and Linden Oaks Drive right-of-way entrance. 5. Final landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of Community Development. Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Linden Oaks Overview Evergreen has continued to look at expanding its mission of serving older adults through the development of services and living options that promotes choice and community. Linden Oaks is a new opportunity to provide housing utilizing a Pocket Neighborhood design. The pocket neighborhood encourages engagement between neighbors through individual homes with porches that face one another and shared communal spaces. A club house provides another opportunity for residents to engage in group activities, receive services to promote health, e.g. exercise, education & host activities for the community. Residents of Linden Oaks would also have access to Evergreen main campus located at 1130 North Westfield. Evergreen is proposing building 39 to 41 ranch style homes on the site and believe the residential look allows it to easily fit within the existing setting of homes. In order to construct this Pocket Neighborhood within the City of Oshkosh, the site needs to be approved as a planned development because of the proposed layout and density. As part of the planned development designation, the site would be granted permission to have up to 41 single residential units, a club house, and a separate garage all within a single parcel. These units would be closer together than typical residential setbacks (8’ minimum) to promote the sense of community and reduce the amount of maintenance required for each residence. The site would be served by multiple 24’ wide private roadways, private sanitary, and water services. A new 68.5’ wide proposed driveway would connect to 9th Avenue and a second 52’ wide driveway would connect to Linden Oaks Drive. A sidewalk network through the back-yards of the unit will connect the development and allow access to the community center. Typical residential landscaping will be planted around each unit, as well as large street trees along the private roadways.
