VPC DISCUSSION:
Samantha Keating, staff, provided an overview of the request, including its locational 
context, current and surrounding zoning, and General Plan Land Use Map designation. 
She noted that the project site envelops an intervening parcel along McDowell Road 
that is not part of the proposed development. She provided an overview of the proposed 
site plan, residential unit count, open space and parking calculations. She explained 
that the use of the Single-Family Attached Development Option will require that the 
developer obtain a use permit, which is a separate public hearing process independent 
of the subject rezoning request. She then presented the proposed elevations, noting the 
enhanced architectural features and mix of materials. She outlined staff’s findings, 
staff’s recommendation of approval, and recommended stipulations. 
Tom Galvin, attorney from Rose Law Group, representing the applicant introduced 
himself to the committee and explained the project would provide cohesive zoning and 
brings much needed residential to the area. 
Alan Beaudoin, applicant’s representative from Norris Design provided an additional 
overview of the request.  He indicated that the design team worked to design around the 
intervening parcel.  The project, as currently designed, would yield 72 townhomes at a 
density of 12.2 dwelling units per acre.  They completed the required notification and did 
not hear any concerns regarding their request. 
Dan Rush asked if the developer had a price point in mind for the project.  Alan 
Beaudoin responded that it was hard to determine at the moment since unknown offsite 
improvements would add to the overall cost of the project.
