�) Encou�age innovative high quality planning and design in �esidential developinents that cate� to the life style/life cycle ofp�esent and futu�e �esidents. Highe� quality developinent inay include such iinp�oveinents as inason�y exte�io�s, highe� window and wall insulation packages, unde�g�oundpa�king, ino�e usable open space than no�inally �equi�ed, po�ches, landscaping, unde�g�ound pa�king, and ainenities packages within each unit. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal will create life-cycle housing (senior cooperative and town homes) for a sector of the population where there is significant market rate housing demand. The High Density Residential development will consist of 112 units at a density of 20 units per acre. The structures will be high quality with cultured stone, and/or brick, maintenance free siding, energy efficient windows, and insulating practices consistent with the Energy Code. Porches may be added, as well as decks and patios. When approving a residential Planned Unit Development, require better quality with established criteria for open space, a"sense of place", and quality materials. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal, through the utilization of the planned unit development (versus straight rezoning), will require a better quality development, with a "sense of place", greater open space (some used for storm water management), and quality materials. 8. Encou�age the developinent of well-designed inultiple fainily dwelling p�ojects which a�e coinpatible with adjacent uses. The following c�ite�ia should be conside�ed when �eviewingproposals fo� inultiple fainily dwelling const�uction within the City: a) St�uctu�es should have access to at least one collecto� level st�eet so that t�affic gene�ated by the coinplex will not exceed envi�oninental and t�affic th�esholds of inino� �esidential st�eets desc�ibed in the T�anspo�tation Plan. The Green House Village proposal will have a minimal traffic impact on Larpenteur Avenue & Dionne Street. Primary access to the senior cooperative and town homes is from Larpenteur Avenue. Senior housing produces 3.85 vehicle trips per day per unit or in the case of Green House Village, 404 total vehicle trips ner 24 hours. The town home development is estimated to produce from 7 to 11 vehicle trips per housing unit or a total of 49 to 77 vehicle trips per 24 hours (such vehicle trips include mail delivery, garbage pick- up, and service vehicle stops at each town home and the cooperative). These proposed developments will not exceed environmental or traffic thresholds for Larpenteur Avenue. The proposed 11 stall parking lot, with access from Dionne Street, does not connect to the underground parking and is anticipated to have a negligible impact on traffic.
