DRAFT per acre immediately next to the multi-family. He noted that the low-density units are fanned out to keep the densities as low as possible next to the residential areas. Mr. Rasmussen stated that in most of the plans, the Operations Services Center (OSC) site is no longer shown as "Residential" but is being left alone and is shown either as "Industrial" or as "Public & Institutional" use. He then showed a slide of the Preferred Plan's Land Use Inventory, which includes the breakdown of the 1,759 housing units into the different density categories. Mr. Rasmussen then displayed the Option 1 Plan, which is quite similar to the Option 1 that was presented to the Commission once before. He indicated that this Plan allows for the least of all the Options at 1,000 housing units with a housing mix of 50-percent single-family and 50-percent multi-family. He stated that this Plan is distinguished primarily by a private green belt that extends to the middle of the site, with the multi-family housing located to the far edges of the site. He noted that one of the considerations in locating the multi-family is that there are primarily two different property owners, the Kiewit Property, and the Lionstone Property, and the amount of densities to be utilized by each of the two property owners are being balanced from the standpoint of fairness; this Plan allows for a lot of flexibility on the site to do that. Mr. Rasmussen stated that this Plan is the only one that has a school located at the OSC site at the current time; it also has the least amount of low-density residential, all at 4 units per acre. Mr. Rasmussen then presented Option 4, again similar to the previous Option 4 that the Commission previously saw, which has 1,283 units and a 50/50 mix of single-family and multi-family. He indicated that the key characteristic of this Plan is that it keeps the Transfer Station in its current location where all the other plans assume it is going to move over east of El Charro Road, and also keeps the OSC in its current location. He noted that this Plan includes quite a bit more Industrial land, the reason being to minimize noise and odor impacts with the Transfer Station in place and the wind blowing toward the east. He added that since it takes a lot more industrial, it leaves less land for residential with all being 8 units per acre as opposed to some of the others that have 11, 8, and 4 units per acre. Mr. Rasmussen then showed Option 5A, again similar to what the Commission saw earlier, with the same amount of units as the Preferred Plan but with a 55-percent single-family unit to 45-percent multi-family unit mix. He indicated that this Plan is distinguished by its centralized community focus area in that the multi-family housing of 30 units per acre and 23 units per acre are centralized with an area of 11 units per acre next to them. He stated that the purpose for this is the efficiencies of design, of being able to bring people together so that it allows for an opportunity for shared facilities, for extra use of things like the two open space "spines" going in a north/south direction, and with the potential school or an active recreation park in the upper area where residents could simply walk up to. He pointed out that this would be surrounded by lower densities of residential in a feathering-out approach that sometimes is a desirable way to go. He noted that there is more land in this Plan than some for single-family housing DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 9/25/2013 Page 5 of 28
