Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 14, 2016 Page 4 of 19 URBAN FORM. Buildings comply with MUDDSG for commercial buildings. For residential, there are no specific designs for standard single family attached dwelling units such as duplexes or triplexes. Floor elevations are not required in a PUD. Staff is comfortable with what is proposed. They are compatible with the neighborhood and compatible with the design standards. SIGNAGE. The building signs in the commercial comply with the CDDSG. The proposal calls for entry monument signs, two signs at each of three entrances off South Boulder Road and Highway 42. Standards call for one monument sign per entrance. Staff recommends only one entry monument sign be allowed at each entrance instead of two. The sign design is compatible with the standards.

Commission Questions of Staff. - Hsu asks about BVSD assessment. Was that done with the preliminary? Robinson says with the preliminary, Staff sent it to BVSD who sent a letter back saying they can serve it. At the time, it was rezoned and is now zoned residential. The applicant is not requesting any increase in the number of units. If there is no increase in residential over what was allowed, we do not re -refer it to BVSD at final. With more interest and concern about schools, if this had been resubmitted, we would have re -referred it. I have traded emails with Glen Segrue from BVSD this week and he did not bring up any additional concerns about this proposal. Rice says what is being proposed here is considerably less dense than what would have been allowed. Robinson says yes, the minimum density in the zoning is 12 units per acre and the maximum is 20 units per acre. This proposal is coming in at 7 units an acre.
