CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: R-PZD 08-2915 Page 1 of 6 Conditions of Approval for R-PZD 08-2915(Hill Place) AS AMENDED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL 03 JUNE 2008 1. Planning Commission determination of street improvements. Staff recommends the following: The applicant shall complete the street improvements required for the Aspen Ridge development. These improvements include the following,some ofwhich are already completed: o Repair the broken pavement on 11 th Street,directly south of the proposed intersection at the comer of 11th and Duncan, as part of the improvements to this street being utilized for primary ingress and egress,to the satisfaction of the Engineering Division. o Continue the existing sidewalk on the north side of 11 th street to connect the proposed sidewalk on Greystone Drive(approximately 20 feet). o Complete the curb and gutter on the south side of 11th street from the bridge west to the constructed curb/gutter.Minimum street width should be 24 feet,face of curb to face of curb(approximately 240 feet in length). o Widen the intersection at Hill Avenue and 6th Street,including a turn lane,the cost of relocating traffic signals and any necessary costs to add a left-turn signal to the existing signal system. o Improve that portion of Hill Avenue adjacent to the subject property where necessary, to conform to City specifications.A six-foot sidewalk is required,at the right-of-way line. o Relocate the sidewalk along 6th Street to transition from the railroad bridge to the Master Street Plan right-of-way line along the frontage of this project. o The applicant shall construct a public trail within the existing platted right-of- way of Brooks Avenue and turning south to connect to 12th Street. o There are still outstanding issues with the pavement and sidewalk at the intersection of Hill and 6`h that were part of the Aspen Ridge project that need to be completed. o Connection of 12`h Street/Brooks Avenue to the site with a Residential Street, with sidewalk on the east side of the street as approved with the Aspen Ridge project. o All drainage improvements,including the box culvert,removal of the sewer line,etc. shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Engineering Division • Add multiple speed tables on Duncan Avenue,and Hill Street,the location and number of which shall be determined by the City Engineer ■ Add bicycle symbol chevrons on Hill Avenue (Heritage Trail designation), per the requirements of the Trails Coordinator. AS AMENDED BY THE CITY COUNCIL 05-20-08 2. Planning Commission determination of a waiver from Fayetteville Unified Development Code Section 166.06(K)(10)(b)to allow two public streets to be connected with a private street. The applicant is proposing a private street connection between Royal Oak Parkway (a new internal public street) and I Ph Street by way of a new vehicular bridge. The applicant's waiver request states that a private connection is justified because traffic from I Ph Street will flow to Hill Avenue to use the traffic signal to access Sixth Street rather than flow into the development for access to Sixth Street.In addition,an analysis ofan alternative design, incorporating a public street with parallel parking,indicates a substantial amount of CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: R-PZD 08-2915 Page 2 of 6 parking for the dwellings would be removed. At staffs request the applicant submitted this additional information and an exhibit showing an alternative design with the internal private street,Royal Oak Parkway,as a public street with parallel parking spaces,resulting in a net loss of 40 parking spaces. A chart comparing the parking numbers for the development with public and private streets is provided below: Parking Number Comparison:Proposed vs.Public Street Alternative Use Unit Parking Ratio Number of Bedrooms 840 1:1 SF of Community Building 6500 1:500 Baseline Number of Spaces 853 Max Number of Spaces 1,109 Minimum Number of Spaces 597 Current Proposed Number of Spaces 828 Number of Spaces With Public Street 788 Staff finds that while a public street connection of Town Branch Creek can feasibly be constructed,in this case the proposed private connection provides much the same function in allowing a distribution of traffic to and from the site. The drive will be open for public access,and will still provide the parking needed to serve the primarily student population to which the project is targeted, a concern cited by area residents. The proposed connection over the creek provides much improved connectivityfrom the previously approved project, which ended in cul-de-sacs on both sides of the creek. Staff recommends in favor of this waiver request. 3. Planning Commission determination of a waiver from Chapter 170.02 Adopted Drainage Criteria Manual(Section 5.4.3),requiring that the limits of maximum ponding elevations are no closer than 100'horizontal from any building and greater than 2'below the lowest sill or floor elevation of any building. Staff recommends approval of the requested waiver finding that the proposed retention pond will not be a detriment to the residents of the development, and is designed as an amenity to the neighborhood.Additionally,a decorative safetyfence shall be required to be constructed around the wet detention pond,restricting direct access from area residents. 4. Planning Commission determination to allow for a trash enclosure over a utility easement. The applicant proposes a permanent trash enclosure in the southern portion of the site within a utility easement. They state there is not a way to avoid placing the enclosure within an easement.Staff recommends in favor of allowing the trash enclosure with the conditions that: a. The trash enclosure location be noted and labeled on the easement plat for all utility companies to acknowledge and approve prior to the issuance of permits; b. The trash enclosure shall be relocated at the owner/developer's expense if utilities within the easement need to be accessed or maintained. 5. The Master Development Plan, Statement of Commitments and Architectural Standards submitted by the applicant shall be considered binding and tied to the zoning of the property. Conditions of approval as noted herein and other requirements placed upon the project with CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: R-PZD 08-2915 Page 3 of 6 review of the Master Development Plan—Planned Zoning District by the City Council shall also be binding. 6. The buildings within this development shall be constructed to comply with the architectural standards and building elevations presented in the PZD booklets. Elevations of the structures shall be reviewed prior to building permit. 7. The storm water detention and Low Impact Development(LID)techniques(bioswales,rain gardens and depressed parking lot islands)as presented in the PZD shall be constructed as indicated in the plans submitted for PZD approval. 8. The internal sidewalks along internal private streets and parking lots as presented in the PZD shall be constructed as indicated. 9. Should a subdivision of land be desired,all applicable ordinances and processes shall be followed in order to meet city ordinances. 10.Public water and sewer lines and other improvements shall be extended as required by city ordinance at the time of development., 11.All development shall meet applicable building codes and other ordinances of the City of Fayetteville. 12.Future non-residential conditional uses in the zoning criteria shall comply with the minimum standards for development in the Unified Development Code. 13.Phasing: This project is required to obtain all building permits for the entire development within one year of City Council approval, with the opportunity for a one time, one year extension. 14.Signage for this development is subject to the residential multi-family requirements of Fayetteville Unified Development Code Chapter 174. 15.Parkland Dedication: Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall dedicate approximately 2.0 acres for a City park and 0.36 acre for the Tsa-La-Gi trail through the site, in addition to payment of fees in lieu to meet the remaining parkland dedication requirement, approximately$5,600.In addition,the developer shall construct this multi-use trail to City standards,and will receive credit as agreed upon within the PRAB recommendation. The Aspen Ridge project dedicated 1.21 acres previously,though the deed for this land is still in the name of the property owner. The proposed Hill Place project was reviewed at the December 2007 PRAB meeting and a recommendation was made to accept approximately 0.8 acres of additional parkland, Remaining parkland dedication requirements include payment of S'5.606.25 for remaining fees-in-lieu, and construction of the multi-use trail through the site per City standard construction details for an asphalt trail. 16.The plats and booklets should be revised to address the following items: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: R-PZD 08-2915 Page 4 of 6 a. Label the building setback lines on the plats,i.e.,20'BSB. b. Parking spaces must be 19' long unless adjacent to greenspace. There are several places throughout the site where spaces are 17'long and hang over a sidewalk(for example,the 10 parking spaces to the north of Building 16 overhang a sidewalk and are IT).

This action will establish a unique zoning district for a single-use project on approximately 27.10 acres located on the south side of 6'h Street(State Highway 62)and west of Hill Avenue. BACKGROUND This site was most recently designed and approved under the name Aspen Ridge,Residential Planned Zoning District, in January 2005. This approval rezoned the property from RMF-24 to R-PZD 04-1307 (Aspen Ridge), for 220 attached residential units with an overall density of 7.87 units/acre. As part of the Aspen Ridge project 49 mobile homes, 6 single family residences, and several tons of trash, debris, and tires were removed from the property. Much of the street and utility infrastructure for Aspen Ridge has been installed and approved by the City, however, for various reasons, building permits were never obtained for the project and the approval expired. The currently proposed Hill Place project will utilize much of the existing street and utility infrastructure,however, the applicant is requesting virtually all of the existing easements and rights-of-way on the property be abandoned, and new easements and right-of-way dedicated with the Hill Place development. This is in large part due to the new site layout,while retaining as much existing infrastructure as possible. The applicant requests rezoning, land use,and large scale development approval for a single use R-PZD consisting of 288 multi-family dwelling units in 17 three story buildings. DISCUSSION On April 14,2008 the Planning Commission voted 7-0-0 in favor of forwarding this request to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. BUDGETIMPACT None.
