Background/Staff Comments
The requested zoning for this parcel is Specific Development-Residential (SD-R). Along with the requested base district, the property will be assigned appropriate overlays, including the Hillside Overlay.
Envision Franklin places the majority of these properties into the Conservation Subdivision Design Concept.
“Conservation Subdivision supports primarily single-family residential development that clusters lots and infrastructure and sets aside a substantial amount of property as permanently protected open space in its natural state. New development should preserve a minimum of 50 percent open space, strategically targeted toward scenic vistas, greenways, pastures, trails, woodlands, or other uses that maintain scenic character, protect habitat value, and contribute to the quality of life for residents.”
Envision Franklin places the northeastern most property in the Single-Family Design Concept.
“Single-Family Residential consists of single-family residential neighborhoods, which provide a range of single-family dwelling and lot sizes. New developments should transition from the existing development patterns in the adjacent neighborhoods.”
The request for SD-R zoning is appropriate based on the Envision Franklin concepts described. The Hillside Overlay will help achieve the 50 percent retention of natural features throughout the properties. The combination of the HHO Overlay and the density request of 2.36 supports clustering the lots and creating a diversity in dwelling and lot sizes.
Project Considerations
Project Considerations are not conditions of this approval, but are intended to highlight issues that should be considered in the overall site design or may be required when more detailed plans are submitted for review. These items are not meant to be exhaustive and all City requirements and ordinances must be met with each plan submittal.
The associated development plan does include many lots that are smaller than what could be supported with Envision Franklin, which ultimately increases the density of the project. However, the intent of the density request is to be a maximum for a development. It should be understood that, as plans are further refined in the site plan stage, overall density may be reduced in order for the plan to meet all city ordinances and standards.
