Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Language with changes shown highlighted in underlined font: o Neighborhood Residential Three (NR-3) provides for attached single family homes, duplexes, or townhomes on lots either with or without alleys and small multi e ami y uses at a density of four (4) to eight (8) units per acre. o Neighborhood Residential Four (NR-4) provides for attached single family homes, duplexes, or townhomes on lots either with or without alleys and multi- amily uses at a density otfive LS to twenty-one (21) units per acre. B. Next as part of the Developer's proposal for up to 1,960 units, the NR-3 and NR-4 future land use classifications would be amended to include language to allow for a variety of housing infrastructure (i.e. single-family, townhouse, multi -family). The current description for the Neighborhood Residential classification refers to guiding the four subcategories to small multi -family uses. However, the criteria today for housing types described within all four subcategories is absent of language to allow for small multi -family uses. Today, the combined description for NR-3 and NR-4 guides these areas towards single family homes, duplexes, or townhomes. The following are definitions from the TRC of housing infrastructure types for multi- family development: o Small Multi -Family - A building containing three to eight (3-8) residential units and which may include townhomes, row homes, manor homes/multi-unit houses, stacked flats, or triplexes/quadplexes. o Medium Multi -Family - A building containing nine to fifty (9-50) multi -family units, which may include stacked flats, apartments, or condominiums. o Large Multi -Family - A building containing more than fifty (50) residential units, which may include apartments or condominiums. For the proposed density of up to 1,960 units, the City has drafted language to amend the Neighborhood Residential classification in order to provide for the opportunity to develop the full range of multi -family housing as defined in the TRC with the distinction that small multi -family uses may only be located in the NR-3 subcategory and that all three types of multi -family housing may be located in the NR-4 subcategory. Again, under the current comprehensive plan language the NR-3 and NR-4 neighborhoods are combined with the same range of residential uses and densities per acre allowed. Pictured below is an illustration of the currently approved 1,460 units and the proposed 1,960 which reflects the separation of NR-3 and NR-4 neighborhoods as well as the creation of the Southwest neighborhood. All other elements of the original master plan design remain unchanged. As an additional resource for the City Council in reviewing this request, I have included a copy of the September 27th presentation to the JDA for "Visualizing Housing Density at Rice Creek Commons" at Attachment H.
