HomeMy WebLinkAboutDept Report PC 01-21-252 CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION DEPARTMENT REPORT JANUARY 21, 2025 2. Docket No. PZ-2024-00221 PUD: Jackson's Grant Village - Phase II. The applicant seeks approval to rezone a residential lot for a new townhome development, to be incorporated (by both design and layout) into the surrounding Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. The 1.67-acre site is located at 510 W. 116th Street and is currently zoned S-2/Single Family Residential and is within the West 116th Street Overlay. Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson & Frankenberger on behalf of Homes by McKenzie, Inc. Project Overview: The applicant seeks to create a new Planned Unit Development (PUD) modeled from the neighboring PUD, Jackson’s Grant Village. The new PUD will be called Jackson’s Grant Village, Phase II. 12 new townhomes are proposed, with 9 previously approved townhomes rearranged for better site connectivity. The style of townhome in Phase II will follow previous approvals of the townhomes in Jackson’s Grant Village (Docket No. PZ-2022-00045 DP/ADLS and Docket No. PZ-2023-00130 ADLS Amend). The site is surrounded on the west, north, and east by the Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. South across 116th Street is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple, zoned S-2/Single Family Residential. Please see the Petitioner’s Information Packet for more details. Site History: In 2019, when the Jackson’s Grant Village PUD was proposed, Republic Development sought to purchase the Cunningham parcel (current parcel under review) to include it in their proposed PUD development. However, they were unable to purchase the land. In 2023, a daycare project was proposed but was not approved. Now, in 2025, with the support of neighbors and City leaders, additional townhomes are proposed for the Cunningham site and will be naturally integrated into the existing Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. Analysis: Permitted Uses • Townhomes (Attached Residential), Accessory Uses permitted in Area B of Jackson’s Grant Village PUD, and Open Space are the only permitted uses in this PUD. • Accessory Uses permitted in Area B of Jackson’s Grant Village PUD are Home Occupation, Residential Kennel (3 or less dogs or small animals), Bona Fide Servants Quarters, and Private parking area. • There isn’t a specific “open space” area in this PUD, only general landscaped areas. The official open spaces are those of Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. Site Plan, Parking, Active Transportation, Engineering • The Cunningham parcel is surrounded by Jackson’s Grant Village Section B – Townhomes. • The Petitioner proposes to continue building the same type of townhomes on this parcel. • Vehicular access would be extended south from Village Green Dr. and west from Village Corner Ct. into the site. • The current driveway access on 116th Street would be removed and replaced with a path. • Currently there is a hammerhead proposed at the end of the alley. This will be removed and the plan adjusted prior to the Plan Commission meeting. Please expect to see a slightly different layout at the PC meeting. • Five of the previously approved townhomes (from Phase I) will be moved further west to allow for additional parking, greenspace, and/or site circulation. • With the new proposal, 35 parking spaces will be added adjacent to the commercial and around the new townhomes for guest parking. Please note this number may change as the site layout is adjusted. • Sidewalks will be provided to connect to other existing and proposed sidewalks in Jackson’s Grant Village. • The existing ponds of Jackson’s Grant Village were sized to handle stormwater from the Cunningham parcel. ADLS components • Architectural Design o The Petitioner intends to follow previously approved ADLS designs for the townhomes. o This is written into section 17 of the PUD and references the two docket numbers below.  Docket No. PZ-2022-00045 DP/ADLS is the original approval  Docket No. PZ-2023-00130 ADLS Amend was an amendment to switch outdoor living areas 3 from the front of the home to the rear. o The Character image is the same as was provided in the previous ADLS approvals. • Landscaping o The Urban Forester is currently working with the Petitioner on a revision to the perimeter landscaping section of the proposed PUD. o 116th Street is currently required to have a 40’ greenbelt in the existing Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. The Urban Forester would like Phase II to meet this same requirement. o The new PUD proposal is a 20’ greenbelt. o Because the design of the homes along 116th Street is likely to change, this Landscaping comment will remain outstanding. • Lighting will comply with the original Jackson’s Grant Village PUD. • Signage will also comply with the existing standards of the original Jackson’s Grant Village PUD, which defaults back to the UDO. DOCS Remaining Comments/Concerns: • Overall, Staff is supportive of this PUD proposal. • Review of the PUD resulted in minor comments, dealing primarily with grammatical or clarifying issues. • The Petitioner will submit the next version of the PUD draft to review shortly after the full Plan Commission meeting. Recommendation: The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission sends this item to the next meeting of the Plan Commission Committee, which will be on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, and also gives the Committee final voting authority.
