Section 1: Introduction, Project LncatiVnaod Description Planned Development Districts (P[}O's) provide one of the best structures for producing e unified and physically cohesive development. PDD Districts are intended to encourage flexible and onnetivo p[anninD. Km ensure the compatibility of land uses, to allow for adjustment to the changing dernands 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. Hillside Ranch Phase || is located on the north side nfN�. LBJ Drive, west oyHolland Street, southeast of the existing Bnl HU[ Subdivision: and Bno Hill Court. The Project Site contains approximately 11 aonae of land that has historically been utilized as a residential homestead. Access to this site will be provided through connection to N. LBJ O[[Ve and an internal connection to the existing adjacent UiUsidu Ranch Apartments. The nO'o[ik/ of the site will be developed with a rmUm of rmulhformUy dxvoD|mgo consisting of attached residential cottages and rowhoueea. Attached residential cottages are cottages that contain 2ornnonaseparate and independent dvvaUing� units within m single structure sharing o oonnrmon vva||. The Project Site shall be nanhinhad to a maximum density of 12 units per mone over the entire project site.TheUnitnoixen1h*p jeotoitovvi||havommevera800f3b*droommm per unit across the entire project site anoutab|iahed by the mnaximunn donmjb/. The, Occupancy of the multifamily units shall be restricted to one person per lease per bedroorn, The Land Use Bubble Diagram provided as Exhibit /\ illustrates the general |Vcgti00 and mixing of units with a transition in dano|tyfromn low density residential along Elm F1i|| Court to higher density residential toward the existing Hillside Ranch Apartments. This Exhibit is intended to N|uotrote the areas where various types nf units may belocated. The Detailed Illustrative Conceptual Plan included as Exhibit B divides the project site into 2 zones with Zone 1 being located adjacent bo the existing E|nm Hill Court residences and having a nnaxinnurm density of units per acre which is consistent with, densities permitted in traditional single family Subdivisions. Zone 2io located adjacent to the existing high density Hillside Ranch apartments and will contain tile majority oftMeUonm|hynm\haproject site. Zones and 2 will be e mix Of single unit and multiple Unit attached cottages and rowhoumee. Exhibit B also indicates the proposed rovvhoUae units to be located along the frontage of N. LBJ Drive. Theme units are intended to be located close to the street ROW with a wide landscape buffer and wide sidewalks for a pedestrian oriented feel. A possible 4 foot metal fmmoo with gates will provide separation between the pedestrian oriented street frontage and the front courtyards of the rowhOUse units. This layout is illustrated in the attached: Exhibit O. Exhibits /\and B are intended to illustrate the proposed |eyVWt of the project site. BU||dhmg |noctiomo' the mVrnbor of units and the number of bedrooms may vary within each area and may be modified during detailed engineering and site design so iomQ as the overall project corresponds with the Zone 1 and 2 density requirements provided for herein and the use and |uoatiuo ufnmwhousoe along N. LBJ1 Drive is maintained. Modifications to th8 cO0ne[tUa| plan may require update and amoendn0ont to the approved Traffic Impact Analysis. A public neighborhood park kai|heod parking area is indicated in the western portion of the Project Site adjacent to the existing Elm Mh|| Subdivision, A natural vegetative buffer ranging from 90-100 feet t0 the first internal drive will be provided adjacent to the [gar yards of the lots within the Bm Hill Subdivision. In addition, the developer will oomskuo1 o 3 10 4 foot vva|| and landscape berm adjacent to the parking spaces facing Elm Hill Court to screen the parking area and minimize impacts on the adjacent E|Nl Hill Court [eS|d8ncgm. /\ nlm|1iVsa path will he 3
