Staff gives high‑level update on 32.6‑acre Hamlet final development plan; formal reviews planned
Summary
Staff provided an informal overview of the 32.6‑acre Hamlet final development plan (no applicant presentation). The plan shows 196 units (at 6 units/acre cap), roughly 33% parkland/open space, five requested waivers, and a review schedule beginning August 5 for Parks & Trails Advisory Board.
City planning staff provided a high‑level informal review of the Hamlet final development plan for a 32.6‑acre site near Central College and 605. The applicant was unable to attend; staff said it submitted final materials and that the presentation tonight was limited to what was on file.
Staff said the zoning text caps density at six units per acre (roughly 196 units across the parcel) and the final development plan as submitted consolidates the 40 apartment units into a single building, locates townhomes and duplexes facing 605, and assigns single‑family homes to Subarea 5. Staff reported the applicant is proposing about 32–33% of the site as parkland/open space, exceeding the city’s minimum urban‑center requirement.
Staff listed five waivers the applicant is requesting at the final development stage: (1) sidewalks of 4 feet where the text requires 5 feet in some subareas; (2) allow two single‑family lots to front 605 where townhomes are by‑right; (3) allow some townhomes to measure up to 44 feet due to grade changes where the maximum is 40 feet; (4) waive a requirement that residential entrances be 2 feet above grade; and (5) raise the 10,000 sq ft single‑user maximum for office uses to meet current office market minimums.
Staff also described progress on traffic and stormwater design, noting a verified traffic study and work on undergrounding stormwater and pervious pavers to reduce above‑ground basins. The Parks & Trails Advisory Board will review parkland and open‑space dedications on August 5; ARB and a future planning commission final hearing are expected once additional design materials are submitted (likely in September).
