environment, a mix of residential and recreational land uses, and a respect for the natural
environment.
This.,Fortune Ordinance is a comprehensive planning and design development tool
intended to insure that the community infrastructure is an integrated system, and
will be a guide for the work of land developers, design consultants, builders, and
the City in such a way that development, though incremental, does not become
fragmented.
Neighborhood Parks: The neighborhood has identifiable nodes that can be small
landscape parks, squares, or open space. Community open spaces close to most
dwellings create meeting places for residents and children that provide a setting
for social interaction.
2.3 Pedestrian Connectivity: The neighborhood is designed for walkable and
pedestrian friendly connections within the community and to adjacent
communities. All neighborhood streets have sidewalks that provide convenient
routes to parks. Sidewalks and park trails connect to The Villages of West Clay
commercial center and its residential neighborhoods through parks or along
neighborhood streets. Sidewalk connections to 131 st street and 126th street
provide for walkable routes to and along these major roadways.
2.4 Streets: The design of the streets is key to a pedestrian friendly neighborhood
design. Streets are shaded by street trees to create an environment that favors the
pedestrian and encourages bicycling. Front porches on the homes are permitted to
provide an open living room to encourage neighborly conversations and add
interest to the street.
2.1
2.2
2.5 Parking: Where possible, garages and driveways are located off of an Alley at
the rear of the lot to limit garages on the front of the homes and limit the number
of drives from the streets. Guest parking is accommodated in all driveways to
both town homes and single family homes.
2.6 Neighborhood Association: A neighborhood association will be established by
the developer to provide quality assurance of the community's amenities and
homes as the community matures.
Section 3 Permitted Primary Uses and Intensities: A portion of the PUD is given the
flexibility to be designed with several uses based on market demands. Permitted uses are defined
below:
3.1 Sub Area A Permitted Primary Uses (Residential Uses permitted as listed below)
. Attached Town Homes
. Accessory Dwellings
3.2 Sub Area B Permitted Primary Uses (Residential Uses permitted as listed below)
