existing transportation system is adequate to serve the proposed development and no offsite <br />mitigation by the applicant is required. <br /> <br />y addressing the availability of a full range <br />of urban services and facilities as prescribed in the Metro Plan. Additional staff findings and <br /> <br />requirements related to the necessary extension of urban services and facilities are addressed <br />elsewhere in this evaluation. <br /> <br />EC 9.8320(8) Residents of the PUD will have sufficient usable recreation area and <br />open space that is convenient and safely accessible. <br /> <br />Staff finds that the proposed PUD provides for sufficient usable recreation area and open space <br />in compliance with the above standard. The common open space established by Tracts B, C, <br />and D on the flatter portion of the site will provide the opportunity for relatively easy access <br />for passive recreational activity on the development site. Tract A is located in the steepest area <br />of the site and not easily accessible. However, the adjacency of Hendricks Park to the north and <br />existing access from the end of Capital Drive ensures the provision of convenient and safely <br />accessible recreation and open space areas. <br /> <br />Based on the above information, this criterion is met. <br /> <br />EC 9.8320(9): Lots proposed for development with one-family detached dwellings <br />shall comply with EC 9.2790 Solar Lot Standards or as modified according to <br />subsection (10) below. <br /> <br />proposal includes single-family detached dwellings and is therefore subject to <br />compliance with the applicable solar lot standards at EC 9.2790. The proposal does not request <br />any modification of the applicable solar lot standards pursuant to subsection (10), below, nor is <br />an adjustment to the solar lot standards requested. The proposal does comply with the solar <br />lot standards as discussed below. <br /> <br /> EC 9.2790 Solar Lot Standards. <br /> (2) Solar Lot Requirements. In R-1 and R-2, at least 70% percent of the lots <br />minimum north-south dimension of 75 feet and a front lot line <br />orientation that is within 30 degrees of the true east-west axis. For <br />purposes of this subsection, a lot proposed for more than one dwelling <br />unit shall count as more than one lot, according to the number of units <br />proposed (e.g. a lot proposed for a fourplex shall be considered 4 lots). <br /> <br />The applicant indicates that 8 of the proposed 34 lots do not have front lot lines since they are <br />accessed via private access easements across other parcels within the proposed PUD. Of the 26 <br />remaining lots, 8 are solar lots (approximately 31%). Out of 34 lots, only 5 do not achieve the <br />minimum 75 foot north-south width dimension, despite their orientation to the front lot line or <br />lack of a front lot line. <br /> <br /> <br />Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) February 2018 36 <br />Page 36 <br /> <br />
