development for the Berlogar lots (Lots 11-19) did not condition the project to modify the FAR calculation method, but did identify in the Silver Oaks Estates Subdivision, Site Development and Architectural Review Guidelines, Phase I, a different calculation method (pgs 7-8). This method would be carried through to the request made by the Chrismans in that the same design guidelines are being requested to implement the Phase II of this previously approved planned unit development and tract map. These are: o To exempt up to 600 square feet of garage area from the FAR calculation (the same amount for Berlogar's PUD modification); garage floor are exceeding 600 square feet would be included in the FAR calculation; o To include floor area where the finished ceiling height is greater than fourteen (14) feet at two times the actual floor area, except for one-story buildings; and, o To include covered porches that are not open 85% on at least two sides. These changes reflect the types of conditions normally implemented in design guidelines for other planned unit development projects. Staff believes these requests are consistent with Ordinance No. 1927, the Berlogar PUD modification, and will continue to provide consistency and uniformity within the two phases of development. These modifications to the floor area ratio calculation method can be implemented because the project is a planned unit development, which allows the Planning Commission and the City Council discretion to consider these types of changes. Staff notes that PUDs routinely modify the Code definition of FAR, particularly relating to garages, to fit the situation. 2. PUD-05 Approved Home Sizes (Agperson Ridae. Centex The Planning Commission expressed concern with the originally approved home sizes and how that related to the proposed modification that would allow for an FAR of 40%. It felt that this FAR may allow for homes that would be considerably larger than the approved production homes which could impact the character of the surrounding area. The following table shows the PUD approved production home size for each lot. The original approval for PUD-05 did not provide an FAR or limit the house size because the approval was for production housing based on setbacks, etc. However, for comparison purposes, staff has prepared two tables depicting the original approvals (Table 1) and also has prepared two FARs that show how the calculation changes with and without a garage exemption. In Table 2, one of the calculations includes the overall building area (house, garage and second unit), and the other includes only the house and garage. The lot sizes for the 10 home sites on the Chrisman site have been provided by RJA, Civil Engineer for the project. Case No. PUD-OS-02M S Planning Commission
