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 of 4 units per acre, which are located at the entry next to the existing residences and wraps around and basically takes up a good portion of the northern residential, with the southern portion including 8 units per acre and the 11 unit per acre in the higher density area. Mr. Rasmussen then presented Option 56, which is similar to the Preferred Plan in many ways with the exception that it proposes a 50150 mix of single - family to multi - family for the 1,759 units. He indicated that the main difference between this and the Preferred Plan is that this Plan calls for more single - family residential and less multi - family so it frees up quite a bit of acreage for the low density 4 units per acre. Finally, Mr. Rasmussen presented Option 6, which is the most intensive of all the Options, proposing 2,279 units and a mix of 58- percent single - family and 42- percent multi - family. He indicated that is similar to the Plan presented to the Commission a few months ago, and its distinguishing characteristics are that it has all the multi - family PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 25, 2013 Page 22 of 45
