Developers present 'Talbot' townhome elevations for Wren 0.25; commissioners ask for clearer lot labeling
Summary
Applicant presented architectural elevations for the Wren 0.25 mixed‑use project including a new 'Talbot' rear‑load townhome product; commissioners asked that 'high visibility' lots be labeled in the design booklet and requested clarity on how those units will be treated in the site plan.
At the start of the workshop the applicant reviewed the Renkorder Architectural Review for the Wren 0.25 project and introduced a new rear‑load townhome product labeled the 'Talbot' developed in partnership with Lennar. The applicant said most unit types were previously approved in Phase 1 and that architectural elevations presented were consistent with Phase 1 design.
"This is a new product we're bringing through with Lennar. Believe it meets a need out here and meets all the architectural requirements that you all have laid out," the applicant said. Commissioners asked whether the 'high visibility' units referenced in the design materials were a required design standard or a voluntary designation; the applicant clarified the high‑visibility callouts are for the project team’s programming to step up elevations on units visible to the public, not a mandatory modification.
Staff indicated they expected the design booklet to label which lots are considered high‑visibility and to explain what elements (landscaping, windows, etc.) make a unit 'high visibility.' The commission asked the applicant to include labeled plans for the formal hearing packet so commissioners and the public can see which lots are designated and what treatments are proposed.
The applicant said they would add the lot labels and provide the Talbot elevations and dimensions for the hearing.
