Owner/ Applicant: Mark Skillman 3654 Biddle Road Medford, Oregon 97504 Pra e Description: 37 2W IOAA, Tax Lots} 7500 & 7640 ZoniII~: TOD-MMR (R-3} Summary- The applicant has submitted plans for a tentative subdivision which shall be known as Hiatt Court Subdivision; consisting of 10 padlats, 5 per tax lat with access being taken off of Hiatt Lane. Padlot developments are a permitted use in R-3 zoning districts. Authori : CPMC 1.24.020 vests the Planning Coriunission with the authority to hold a public hearing and render a decision on any application for a site plan. Notice of the public hearing was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060 (Attachment A}. Applicable Law• CPMC 16.10.014 et. Seq. -Tentative Plans CPMC 17.20.010 et seq.- R-3, Multiple family Zoning District CPMC 17.65.010 et seq.- TOD Districts and Corridors CPMC 17.60.210 - Padlot Development because of existing residences in the area that are not located in high density neighborhoods, CPMC 17.57.054(I){3) limits the height of new residential buildings within fifty feet of lower density neighborhoods to 35 feet. The developer has expressed that the new residences at this site will be the same design as those that were built next to Robert Pfaff Park {Attachments B-2 & 13-3), Those residences were 35 feet in height, and it will be required that the proposed project will not exceed 35 feet. Required parking in R-3 zones is 2 covered spaces per unit; 1.S covered spaces in TOD developments. The tentative plan shows each unit will have 2 covered spaces with driveways that are wide and deep enough to pravide two additional uncovered parking spaces. The homes will share a common wall. C. The padlots within the parent parcel are exempt from the lot area, width and depth, yard and setback, and lot coverage requirements to which the parent lot is subject. ^ Lot area, width and depth, yard and setback, and lot coverage requirements conform with both R-3 and TOD-MMR design guidelines, and have been "combined" into a unique design concept. D. Structures on padlots must meet all applicable state of Oregon building code requirements, as well as all other applicable city, state and federal regulations. ^ The attached dwellings shall be constructed to applicable building and fire codes. The applicant shall comply with any additional requirements. E. Structures on padlots must be multi-dwelling unit attached buildings. No detached, single- dwelling unit buildings shall be constructed on a padlot. ^ The prapased construction is defined as single-family-attached rowhouses and fulfill the criteria for multi-dwelling units. F. No final plat for the creation of a padlot development shall be approved unless and until the developer has also previously submitted and received city approval for the covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to the common area, if any, providing for the continual managennent and maintenance of the common area and any improvements thereon. ^ The Tentative Plan does not show any common areas. Fire District Number 3 Has commented on the project and is requiring a hre hydrant at the entrance to the project area, no parking signs are to be installed along both sides of I-liatt Lane; the curb within the dedicated turn around area shall be painted red and maintained as required annually by city standards. See Attachment F-2 Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law: Pad ~,ot Developments In approving, conditionally approving or denying the plans submitted, the City bases its decision on the following standards from Section 17.6Q.210: A. Padlot development applications shall be presented to the city; and processed by the city, in the same manner as a partition or subdivision application: first, in the form of a tentative plan, and then in the form of a final plat. All provisions of Title 15 of this code shall apply to padlot developments; provided, that the lot size provisions of Title 16 of this code shall apply only to the parent lot and not to the padlot. ^ Minimum lot size in R-3 zones is 6,000 square feet. For multiple dwellings an the lot, the first lot must be 4,000 square feet with each additional lot being a minimum of 1,648 square feet. Tax Lat 7500 is 10,454.4 square feet; Tax Lot 7600 is 9,147.6 square feet. B. The parent parcel, from which the padlots and common area, if any, are to be created, shall conform to the standard requirements for lots in the particular zone in which the parent lot is located, including, but not limited to, requirements pertaining to lot area, lot width, lot depth, lot coverage, yard and setback requirements, number and height of buildings, density restrictions, parking requirements, and distances between buildings. ^ The proposed padlot development is located within the TOD corridor and is zoned TOD-MMR. Base zoning is R-3. The applicant is proposing asingle-family-attached development which is defined in the TOD as row houses. Minimum lot sizes for single-family-attached row houses is 2,000 square feet. Because this project has been submitted as a padlot, the applicant is able to use the 1,648 minimum lot size as specified in the code far R-3 developments as well as the 2,000 square foot minimum as described in the code for developments within the TOD corridor. Maximum lot coverage in R-3 zones is 50%, whereas in the TOD maximum lot coverage jumps to 80%. The tentative plan shown an average lot coverage of 49%, leaving 51% for yard and common area. Front and rear- yard setbacks are shown to be in compliance with R-3 standards with the exception of side yards which are shown an the site plan as 5 feet; which is the standard for development within the TOD corridor, Density requirements in R-3 zones is 6 units per acre minimum & 12 units per acre maximum (CPMC 1.7.28.080 C-1) Minimum and maximum density in TOD-MMR zones is 16 & 32 units per acre respectively; the combined square footage of both tax lots is 19,602 or .42 acres. The applicants proposal of 10 lots is a permitted density under padlot development requirements. The height of the bui[dings will be a maximum of 4S feet as permitted in the TOD corridor. However, Tax Lot 7600 {260 Hiatt Lane} is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map {Community Panel Number: ~I0092 OOO1C) as being in a 100-year floodplain. Other developments within the vicinity of Hiatt Court have been able to satisfy FEMA standards for building in a Ioodplain, therefore, the applicant will rriore than likely have tlic same options to address this issue. One option is to show the base flood elevation for each individual tax lot on the grading, plans for the site and submit flood elevation certificates for each lot showing top of finished floor being a minimum of 1 foot above the base flood elevation. Another option is the applicant could apply for a Letter Of Map Amendn3ent (COMA) through FEMA which would remove the project area from the floodplain. A recent devcloptnent in the general area of this project has been successful in obtaining LOMA's through FEMA and this project could potentially do the same. A COMA is obtained through FEMA and is based on topography vs. the base flood elevation, or how high the waters would rise during a potential flood event. The applicant would be required to fill out an application showing base flood elevation and topography. The process takes 6 to 8 weeks. The site plan shows landscaping along each side of the project area as well as the parking lot. However, the landscaping plan lacks details such as an irrigation plan and a listing of proposed tree and shrub species the applicant intends to use at the site. The Planning Department recommends that the Planning Commission assign a condition that the applicant provide a more detailed landscape plan that includes shrub and tree species together with an irrigation plan. A backflow prevention assembly will be required. The Public Works Department, Rogue Valley Sewer Services (RVSS) and Fire District Number 3 have been notified of this application. Public Works will require that the developer shall: 1. Develop a facility plan for the storm drain collection and conveyance system, which provides for run-off from and run-on onto the proposed development. It is the understanding of the Public Works Department that storm drainage infrastructure will be a private system, operated and maintained by the property owners. 2. Maintain aten-foot wide public utility easement paralleling Hopkins Road; this easement shall be dedicated behind the current right-of--way line. 3. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the developer shall submit for approval by the Public Works Director, a landscape plan for the areas designated for landscape rows. The plan shall include construction plans, irrigation plans, details and specifications for the trees to be planted within landscape rows. (Attachment D) Rogue Valley Sewer Services has commented on the project and have stated that there is a six- inch sewer main adjacent to the property but is sub-standard and cannot support the proposed project. The six-inch sewer main will have to be replaced with a new eight-inch line. The applicant will work with RVSS to install a new eight-inch sewer main. The project is located within the phase 2 NPDES Stormwater Quality management area which is administered by RVSS. Stormwater containment and runoff system will be required to comply with all applicable Stormwater quality standards. Discussion: The applicant, Mark Skillman, has submitted plans for aten-lot subdivision located on tax lots 7500 (248 Hiatt Lane) and 7600 (260 Hiatt Lane}; for the purposes of a padlot development on these two lots; 5 lots per tax. lot. Zoning for the project is TOD-MMR; base zoning is It-3. (Attachment B-1) Because of the underlying R-3 zone, a padlot development is permitted. `l'he `l'entativc Plan mainly reflects R-3 zoning characteristics in setbacks, parking, lot coverage and density. Minimum lot size for the project complies with the 2,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement for single-family-attached units in TOD zoning districts. The applicant has submitted the project as a pad lot so that both tax lots are used to their greatest capacity, while maintaining a unique approach to in-fill development. Each resulting tax Iot will be oriented so that it faces the parking area which is shown on the Tentative Plan as a 24 foot Reciprocal Access/ Utility Easement. Staff recommends that this easement be reduced by 2 feet so that rear yard setbacks are 10 feet; bringing the developrraent into compliance with R-3 rear yard setback requirements and will be compatible with other developments in the vicinity of the proposed project. Side yard setbacks are shown as TOD standard of S feet. Because the applicant has submitted this project as a padlot; the manner in which this development is designed is permitted under CPMC 17.60.210(c); "the pad lots within the parent parcel are exempt from the lot area, width and depth, yard and setback and lot coverage requirements to which parent lot is subject". A quick review of R-3 requirements shows a minimum lot size of 4,000 sq. ft. for the first lot and a minimum of 1,648 sq. ft. for each resulting lot. Lot width in R-3 districts is a minimum of 60 feet with no depth requirement stated in the code. Setback requirements: 20 feet; front yards, 10 feet; rear yards, 5 feet per floor; side yards. Maximum lot coverage is 50% of the total lot area in R-3 zones, leaving 50% for yard space. Minimum lot sizes in TOD-MMR zones is 2,000 sq. ft. for single-family-attached row houses. Minimum lot width in TODTMMR zones is 22 feet with a minimum depth requirement of 50 feet. Maximum lot coverage is 80% with 20% for yard areas. Minimum setbacks: 10 feet in the front; 15 feet in the rear; 5 feet on the sides. Parking in R-3 zones requires that each unit be provided two parking spaces and one guest parking space per every four units. The site plan {Attachment B-1) shows that there will be 4 parking spaces per unit, thereby meeting the parking requirements. Access to the project area would be taken from Hiatt Lane. The Tentative Plan shows a driveway of 20 feet in width, city standards for driveways is 21 feet. The applicant will be responsible far any frontage improvements required by Public Works. Additionally, the applicant will need to plan for Storm Drainage Infrastructure, a_ Ten-Foot Public Utility Easement to be dedicated behind the_current right-off way line, and a Street Tree Plan. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions: 1. Adopt Resolution No. ,approving the preliminary development plan and tentative subdivision for Hiatt Court Padlot Subdivision, based on the f ndings of fact and conclusions of law contained in the record and subject to the recommended conditions of approval as set forth in the staff report; or 2. Recommend denial of the preliminary development plan for the Hiatt Court Padlot Subdivision based on findings of fact articulated by the commission; or 3. Continue the review of the preliminary development plan and tentative subdivision at the discretion of the Commission.
