The applicant would be required to pay development and traffic impact fees as specified in the conditions of approval. The applicant would be providing all additional site improvements related to the development. The City would be required to provide on-going infrastructure maintenancc as with any other development. Very Iittlc additional fiscal impact is anticipated in that any maintenance costs are ordinary City costs. On site improvements, including the maintenance ofthc private court, would be maintained by the homeowners. CONCLUSION The subject site is located close to the City limits which makes it unique and scnsitive. Staff feels the proposed PUD-LDR zoning and density are appropriate for the site. The site plan is functional, yet sensitive to the adjacent residential properties. The design of the homes arc attractive and would be compatible with the neighborhood. Additionally, adequate private yard areas have been provided for the proposed residences, and the private court design eliminates driveway openings on Dublin Canyon Road. In staff's opinion, the project would provide a desirable living environment to thc future homeowners.
