(Ex:HIBIT A) The prospective developer submits a "General Development Plan" for the entire property to the City for approval - accompanies the zoning change request. The overall development plan and related land use elements are establih- ed at the outset (ie) Planning Areas, in the case of Homar, Retail/ Office - mixed use; Residential (single family and multi-family, 1200 units) and public use and, open space designations are shown along with the major streets. Individual sections of the plan are submitted to the City for approval as the development is built oust. Also, there are provisions for plan modifications that may not affect overall densities and/or re- lated land. use elements that must be approved by the City before changes can be made. Also, in the phases of the project, the developer may likely draw up a set of regulations to suF>plement the City's zoning, subdivision and PUD regulations. They may specify building restrictions, reserva- tions, covenants, etc. which apply to individual Planning Areas and/ or properties. In short, the General Development Plan gives the City an overall idea of the proposed development and the allowed uses by Planning areas before development can occur. Detailed plans. and specifications accompany each phase of the develop- ment which is essentially conatrolled by the Planning Area given in the General Plan approval by 'the City. SPECIFICS The City is provided a unique opportunity which assures the Homart Development PCZD Plan will be approached in a comprehensive planning manner coupled with a total aommittment agreement on the part of the developer. More often than not, many developers annex and zone„ parcel property to land. brokers., and the result-is a fragmented and non distinct zoning land us e. pattern. that results. This proves to be extremely undesirable for the community. In short-, the Homart proposal offers the City the following advantages as compared to the existing zoning on the property. 1) A single zone district and accompanying land use plan for community control of tY:~e area. 2) A logical land use arar.~gement for residential, commercial and open space which are caipatible and mutually reinforce adjacent land uses. 3) A desirable traffic circulation plan that offers convient access to all parcels. 4) A set of design guidelines which supplement the City zoning and subdivision regulations for quality control development. Finally 5') A financial commitment and assurance that. the developer is in to stay and has agreed to work with the City in lessening the general fund deficits :Lncluding the phasing. plan and major capi- tal project plan for right-of-ways, utilities and public facili- ties . _.
