6. Policy 7.1.7 - Proposed Revisions The development of 480 acres (Parcel #04427-000-000) shall be developed with an overall development plan and shall provide for a variety of lot sizes/densities. b.All development shall be connected to centralized sanitary sewer and centralized potable water supply. c.The 480-acre parcel shall be developed at an average density of not more than two (2) dwelling units per acre. These site specific requirements may be reconsidered through a public hearing process involving notification to surrounding property owners.

7. Staff Bases FLUE Policy 1.2.4 requires hookup to sanitary sewer and potable water within the Urban Cluster. Therefore Policy 7.1.7(b), which requires connection to these services, is redundant. Numerous policies within the FLUE support development at greater densities and intensities. FLUE 1.3.7.2 gives the development range for the low density residential land use at 1-4 du/acre. Deleting Policy 7.1.7(c) is consistent with this policy.

8. Staff Bases Principal 5 of the FLUE calls for densities and intensities to support transit. This is best achieved through developing land at the upper limit of the density range. Deleting Policy 7.1.7(c) will help achieve this goal. Provision for greater densities promotes the goals found in FLUE Strategy Three, which promotes greater densities, mixed use developments and integrated neighborhoods.

9. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that Policy 7.1.7(a) be retained in the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan but concurs with the applicant’s request for removal of sub-Policies (b) and (c). Staff recommends that the Board hear the item and transmit this large scale comprehensive plan amendment to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review and comment.
