This planning area was not intended to be a standard retail center development, as was original proposed, and as is allowed in Planning Area 1. This is why there were so many changes to the building design since the Technical Plat meeting. The design standards for this planning area actually include two very different design themes — the multi -story mixed use buildings and the one to two-story office and retail buildings.

Commissioner Cabe stated that this was single-family construction on % acre lots. This is not infill or appropriate. Commissioner Hoskins asked why the applicant wasn't asking for more density. Davidson stated that the zoning was RSF-4 all around this property, but that a lower density zoning would also work, since they were only planning on building four houses. Commissioner Hoskins asked the applicant about increasing the density. Davidson stated that the property was very challenging to develop due to the topography. The intent is to bring in one driveway to serve all four lots. The property is in the HHOD.

I will stick with that decision.
