Part 1. General Information 1.01. Project Description. The proposed development of approximately 101.40 acres of land out of the J. M. Veramendi Survey No. 1, Abstract No. 17, Hays County Texas being described as generally located on the west side of Hunter Road south of Stagecoach Trail and at the terminus of Hunters Hill Drive and Foxtail Run. 1.02. Project Location. The Project Site is generally located on the west side of Hunter Road south of Stagecoach Trail and being bound on the north by Hernandez Intermediate School, on the south by Laurel Estates Subdivision, on the west by Willow Creek Estates Subdivision and the Gardens at Willow Creek Subdivision and on the east by Hunters Hill Subdivision, Doris Miller Junior High School, and Willow Springs Center Subdivision. Access to this site will be provided through the extension of Foxtail Run and the construction and extension of Hunters Hill Drive. Foxtail Run is shown on the adjacent plats for the Hunters Hill Subdivision to be a 95 foot right -of -way near its intersection with Hunter Road and contains a divided median boulevard. The right -of- way of Foxtail Run at the property line of the Project Site is 168 feet. Hunters Hill Drive is shown as a 60 foot right -of -way street on the plat of the Intermediate School Subdivision and is currently a dedicated but not constructed street. As part of the development of the Project Site, construction of Hunters Hill Drive is required. 1.03. Phasing. The Project Site is expected to be constructed in a single phase; however, based on the unique characteristics of this property, the project may be developed in multiple phases. As indicated on the Conceptual Plan, the Project Site consists of two (2) areas separated by the floodplain. These areas are designated on the plan as Area 1 and Area 2 and may be developed jointly as a single unified development or may be developed individually as stand -alone developments. This flexibility in the design and planning of the Project Site will allow for greater flexibility to meet the changing demands and needs of the community. The Development Standards contained herein are intended to be utilized for the development of the project site as a single unified development; however, in the event that Area 1 and Area 2 are developed independently, each area shall be developed in a manner so as to meet the requirements of these development standards. 1.04. Reasons for use of PDD. The Project Site is currently zoned Single Family District (SF -6). The site has limited or no direct access onto Hunter Road and contains a significant amount of floodplain which makes development of this parcel for single family residential use impractical. PDD Districts are intended to encourage flexible and creative planning, to ensure the compatibility of land uses, to allow for adjustment to the changing demands to meet the current needs of the community and to result in a higher quality development for the community than would result from the use of conventional zoning districts. The PDD process is being utilized for the Project Site to provide for a significant amount of buffering from the adjacent residential uses to ensure compatibility of uses, to allow for the dedication of a significant amount of park, recreation and open space easement areas in accordance with the requirements of the City's Parks, Planned Development District 2 11/03/09The Retreat on Willow Creek
