Lewis, Attorney for the Applicant, dated September 24, 2004, and reading as follows:
RENNER ROAD TND PRINCIPLES STATEMENT
The Renner Road project is approximately 57 acres and is located west of the Hillard-Rome Road and 1-70 interchange on the western edge of Franklin County. The site is enclosed by Renner Road to the north and Interstate 70 to the south. This project will incorporate the principles of Traditional Neighborhood Development Article 3320. The development ideal set forth by this document is the creation of transit-supportive, mixed-use neighborhoods that foster pedestrian activity and a sense of community and is reflected in the elements as described below;
A. The basic increment of planning is the transit-supportive, mixed-use neighborhood of a minimum density of five units per acre.
The proposed density for this site is to be 5 d.u. and is designed to be density supportive of public transit through a tightly clustered development in the center of the proposed site area. This development provides an appropriate transition from the commercial area east of this site and higher density residential on the north to the approximately .5 acre lots in the Timberbrook Woods development .
B. The neighborhood is defined by an easy walking distance from edge to center, ranging from a quarter mile to a half mile.
From east to west and north to south, no units in this neighborhood are more than 1/3 of a mile from the offsite commercial uses and the neighborhood park in the western area of the site.
C. A variety of single-family housing stock serves a range of incomes and age groups.
Two distinct streetscape types including more than 10 different home models serve a range of incomes and age groups. The streetscapes are characterized by detached homes with attached garages that are accessed by a lane and homes with attached garages accessed from the street. Detached single- family homes accessed by lanes serve a large price range and homes accessed by streets will serve a higher and second price range.
D. A variety of business types are accommodated, from retail and professional offices to "live-work" units and outbuildings for start up businesses. The office stock serves a range from home occupations to conventional office buildings. The retail stock includes a range from the corner store to small supermarkets.
This particular TND addresses the transect districts of Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood General and Neighborhood Center.
E. Special sites are reserved for civic buildings to serve as symbols of the community, thus enhancing community identity.
The site design is based around a series of greens and a community park which preserves an existing wooded area. The TND Districts plan includes the location of proposed civic buildings.
F. A variety of civic spaces take the form of parks, greens, squares and plazas.
Civic spaces of various sizes are dispersed throughout the site. The site design includes a 4.8-acre wooded reserve, and several community greens. Most of these civic spaces are located in such a manner to have the houses fronting on the open space thereby reinforcing their significance.
G. A variety of thoroughfares are designed to be equitable to the pedestrian, bicycle and automobile. Thoroughfares are connected in such a way as to encourage walking and reduce the number and length of automobile trips.
Thoroughfare types include a hierarchy of streets, closes and lanes as well as sidewalks and a bicycle route. All streets and lanes are interconnected with entrances to the neighborhood from Renner Road.
H. Building frontages spatially delineate thoroughfares and civic spaces and mask parking lots.
The building frontages define the thoroughfare streetscape. The majority of the neighborhood is characterized by homes with garages attached at the rear accessed from lanes. This effectively masks parking throughout the neighborhood, with the exception of on-street guest parking.
The remaining portion of the neighborhood is characterized by homes with attached garages accessed from the street. These larger homes are located in the portion of the site that backs to the proposed park and the adjoining properties along the western boundaries.
There are no parking lots proposed. On street parking will be provided for guests.
I. Smaller block sizes reflecting intensity of use for each district will serve to support the above principles.
Block size is consistent with the transect diagrams illustration for Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood General and Neighborhood Center. The Neighborhood Edge, has a block length of approximately 650', and is located along western portion of the developed area within the site which is less than the existing neighborhood to the west. The remainder of the site consists of Neighborhood General and has a smaller block length of approximately 500'.
Section 4. That this ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after the earliest period allowed by law. That for the reasons stated in the preamble hereto, which is hereby made a part hereof, this ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and approval by the Mayor or 10 days after its passage if the Mayor neither approves nor vetoes the same.
