B.The type or character of development and the number of dwelling units per gross acre proposed; The type and character of the development is listed in the table entitled “Permitted Uses”, under the column “Comments/Remarks”. The density is listed under the table entitled “Site Information” on the row entitled “Gross Developable Area”. C.The proposed location of school sites, parks, open spaces, recreation facilities and other public and quasi-public facilities; The proposed locations of the parks or open spaces are not delineated on the GDP. Staff continues to work with the applicant on how the 12% public land dedication will be allocated on the site, and it has notbeen determined if all of the public land will be located on this site or if therewill be off site locations, or cash-in-lieu, or some combination thereof. Because of this uncertainty, Staff has requested a note be placed on the GDP that states“Public land dedication of 12% will comply with section 16.16.060.B of the LMC.”There aren’t any proposed school sites, or other public and quasi-public facilities.Planning Commission input and recommendations on the desired methods of satisfying the dedication requirement is requested within this hearing process.

According to Section 17.28.110 of the LMC, “requirements may be waived or modified through the approval process of the planned unit development if the spirit and intent of the development plan criteria contained in section 17.28.120 are met and the city council finds that the development plan contains areas allocated for usable open space in common park area in excess of public use dedication requirements or that the modification or waiver is warranted by the design and amenities incorporated in the development plan…” In reviewing the submittal by ConocoPhillips, staff found that the proposed waivers are warranted by the design and amenities incorporated in the development plan.The proposed plan establishes planning areas that provide a buffer that is in excess of that required by the CDDSG. This extended buffer coincides with the proposal to cluster the 3
