prohibiting further subdivision. There is no practical difference in designating the lots LDR <br /> versus MDR; the requested number of lots, lot dimensions, and so on are not affected either <br /> way. <br /> In addition to the land use changes, the following minor refinements were also made to the <br /> proposal: <br /> 1. The development of the PUD-MDR lots would generally follow zoning standards in <br /> place for the R-1-20,00 district; <br /> 2. Building envelope established for Lot 1 that ensures future structures would be <br /> located a minimum of 70 feet from Sycamore Road; <br /> 3. A maximum building area (square footage) is established for both PUD-A lots. <br /> The applicant also made minor adjustments to the lot lines to ensure the creek would be <br /> located on just one of the properties, and to the grading to address tree protection and <br /> stormwater requirements and lower pad heights. <br /> April 22, 2019 Bicycle, Pedestrian & Trails Committee (BPTC) Meeting and May 9, 2019 <br /> Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting <br /> The proposed trail realignment was presented to BPTC on April 22, 2019 and received full <br /> support. It was presented the Parks and Recreation Commission the following month and also <br /> received unanimous support. Minutes of PBTC meeting and Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission meeting are attached in Exhibit D. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The applicant is seeking the following entitlements: <br /> 1.

Allow the proposed PUD-MDR lots to access from Sycamore Creek Way; <br /> c. Realign the planned public trail on the project site; <br /> d. Allow the proposed Lot 5 with a PUD-A land use designation to be less than one acre in <br /> area; <br /> 2. Rezone an approximately 1 .01-acre portion of the site from Planned Unit Development— <br /> Agricultural (PUD-A) District to Planned Unit Development — Medium Density Residential <br /> (PUD-MDR) District; <br /> 3. PUD development plan approval for a 5-lot single-family residential development with <br /> related on- and off-site improvements; and <br /> 4. Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map approval to subdivide the 3.28-acre parcel into five <br /> residential lots for four new homes and one existing home. <br /> Site Layout: As proposed, Lot 1 would have frontage onto Sycamore Road and would share <br /> the existing driveway to the existing home on Lot 5 for access.
