September 11, 2019 Centerville City Council Page 2 of 10 RE: Downtown Zoning Updates PLANNING ISSUES Master Plan Updates There are several changes that have been discussed to the Master Plan and Development Guidelines for Downtown Centerville. This document is referenced directly in the zoning code and provides development guidelines for downtown. Given past discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission, the following changes are proposed to the Master Plan document: (1) Neighborhood as M-2 to better correlate with the zoning code. (2) and maximum residential density standards. The minimum residential density will be 12 units per acre, and the maximum density will be 30 units per acre. These changes are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. (3) secure parking for residences within the Mixed-Use Corridors will be fully enclosed in private facilities, where feasible. Given the limitations with the water table experienced at Block 7, there should be some flexibility for this requirement. (4) promote consistency in the public realm, the City will be responsible for designing and building streetscaping, with the costs borne by developers and/or abutting property (5) (6) regarding setbacks shall be updated to be more in line with current setback language standards. The section will be updated as follows: Setbacks from public streets should be consistent at 50 feet from street center line. All buildings should be required to have some portion that extends to exactly 45 feet from the street centerline. Buildings shall be set back no more than five (5) feet from the right-of- way or roadway easement. All ground floor units oriented toward the street should have stoops or porches. Ground floor stoops at the first floor should have a consistent setback of exactly 8 5 to 10 feet. 82
