The property is located south of Exchange Parkway, west of Watters Road, and east of Bray Central Drive. He explained that Planned Development No. 108 was adopted in October of 2011 and that it created various districts with unique development standards for each district The subject property falls within District D of PD No. 108 District D was intended to create a unique development for Allen; providing for a mix of housing types, diversity of housing sizes and architectural styles, strategically located civic space, streetscapes with urban character and pedestrian oriented streets and walkways. Director Bass described the proposed residential development as being a 76.4± acre portion of District D. The Concept Plan shows a total of 352 front and rear entry lots, of various lot sizes integrated within the development. He explained that the density of the development falls within the permitted density range of 3.8 - 6.2 units/acre for PD 108 District D. The Concept Plan shows a total of four (4) access points along the perimeter arterial roads and provides approximately 16.0± acres of open space; which is distributed throughout the development as community parks, mews space, passive open space and periphery landscaping. He explained that the existing development regulations for PD No. 108 are being modified to accommodate the proposed development in the following ways: • The existing regulation to deed restrict the property to individuals 55 years and older is being removed. • Design standards and exhibits are being incorporated and/or modified to establish the various housing types and lot dimensions, architectural styles, streetscapes, parking provisions, entryway signage and screening, open space areas and maintenance of common areas. Director Bass explained that due to the Boor plan designs, size of private open space on each lot and anticipated housing price points the target market for this development will be young professional and older active adult/empty nester. The target market does not generally produce a large number of school aged children. Therefore, impact to the school district will be minimal. Director Bass stated that this has been confirmed through meetings with City staff, the developer and senior officials at the Allen Independent School District. The position of the superintendent's office is that the project will not generate a quantity of students that places a burden on the school district or adjacent school sites. Director Bass stated that staff believes the proposed development meets the purpose and intent of Planned Development No. 108 District D. He recommended approval of the request.
