INTRODUCTION Building off the success of similar developments throughout Chandler, New Village Homes is excited to bring The Village at Hamilton Landing, a proposed 36-lot single-family residential development, to the City. Located at the southwest corner of McQueen Road and Willis Road, The Village at Hamilton Landing brings a unique housing product that is not currently available in the area. The homes are single-story, townhome units that have a one-car garage and are attached to adjacent units. The Project site is currently a small agricultural field as well as vacant remnant parcels from the ADOT Loop 202 freeway. The 7.32 gross acre (5.80 net acre) site will be developed as a 36-lot single-family development with a density of 6.21 du/net acre. This request is to amend the site’s zoning from AG-1 and County RU-43 to Planned Area Development (PAD) Single-Family Residential and to approve the proposed Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) and preliminary plat for the subject parcel. With the vicinity to the Loop 202 and the roadway buffers on the north and the east, the proposed single-family use provides for a great use for a parcel of land that has remained undeveloped since the Loop 202 freeway was constructed. II. SURROUNDING AREA AND EXISTING ZONING The Site is bounded by the Loop 202 San Tan Freeway to the south, vacant ADOT parcels to the west, Willis Road to the north with large residential lots north of Willis Road and McQueen Road to the east. See Exhibit 1: Aerial Vicinity Map. This PAD/PDP and preliminary plat request is preceded by an application to annex the western portion of the site and the majority of the Willis Road right-of-way into the City of Chandler with a zoning designation of AG-1. The eastern portion of the site that is already within the City has an existing zoning of AG-1. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. As previously mentioned, no other developments directly touch the subject property. The large residential lots to the north, which are zoned AG-1 and SF-33 are separated from the Project by Willis Road and a historical raised irrigation canal. Northwest of the site, the Arizona Reflections Unit 3 Subdivision is Zoned PAD Single- Family. However, it does not directly touch the Project as it is separated from the project by an ADOT accessway as well as a large landscape tract. East of the project is McQueen Road. West and south of the site is the Loop 202 San Tan Freeway. III. AREA PLANS The site is designated on the City of Chandler’s General Plan as Neighborhood. The proposed use is compatible with the Neighborhood designation as the predominant land use in this category is residential. The proposed development falls into the Medium- density residential category of the General Plan. The General Plan states that medium- density residential is appropriate along arterial roads and freeway corridors. The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 2 The Village at Hamilton Landing Additionally, the Project is within the Chandler Airpark Area plan. The Chandler Airpark Area Plan will designate the site as Low Medium Density Residential (3.6-8 DU/acre). The site meets the Area Plan. The Project was designed to fit into the surroundings and have a minimal impact as on adjacent developments. The entire project will feature only single-story single-family lots. Also, the site does not directly touch any of the surrounding developments. Willis Road and an ADOT access way separates the Project from the neighboring developments to the north and northwest. A twenty-foot landscape strip will run parallel along the south side of Willis Road, providing a beautiful street scene as well a larger buffer from the developments to the north. An existing sound wall to the south of the project and a drainage canal provide a sound barrier from the Loop 202 Freeway. With the buffers from the surrounding developments, the proposed use is appropriate for the location. IV. PROPOSED PAD AND PDP This proposed PAD request is to change the zoning to allow 36 single-family residential lots for a net overall project density of 6.21 du/ac. The proposed neighborhood will be a great addition to the community. The proposed layout for this site will provide a well thought out community that incorporates community open spaces, recreational amenities, and a visual cohesiveness of landscape and architectural elements that create a high- quality residential neighborhood. The site’s only resident access point will be off Willis Road. The access for the site will be located on the western side of the site. A secondary fire access entry will be located north of the proposed cul-de-sac on the eastern side of the project. At the main entry, residents and visitors will enter the site on a beautifully landscaped, tree-lined street made up of stamped asphalt, passing by a themed entry monument displaying the name of the community as well as entry trellis structures on both sides to the road. Well-distributed open space areas will feature amenities that allow for residents to play, gather, and socialize. See Exhibit 2: Overall Site Plan. The Village at Hamilton Landing is proposed to be developed with 36 lots on 5.80 net acres, resulting in a density of 6.21 du/net acre. The project has 2.34 acres of common open space, comprising 40.3% of the project area. Each townhome unit will also have a garage, private driveway, front yard, front porch, and back yard. The project will have private internal streets. The entrance to the community will feature a tree lined street, stamped asphalt in the street, entry trellis structures, and a decorative entry monument that will provide residents and visitors with a sense of arrival into the community. See Exhibit 7: Preliminary Development Plan. The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 3 The Village at Hamilton Landing A. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS This project has been planned with the following development standards: Site Data Gross Area 7.32 acres Net Area 5.80 acres Common Open Space 2.34 acres % Open Space (Net) 40.3% Number of Proposed Lots 36 Density 6.21 du/net ac Regulation Development Standard Front Yard Setback 39 ft. to the garage door of a forward- facing garage 5 ft. to a livable area component Rear Yard Setback 5 ft.

The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 4 The Village at Hamilton Landing B. SUBDIVISION DIVERSITY ELEMENTS The Village at Hamilton Landing meets all of the five criteria for infill project designation in accordance with the PAD Residential Development Standards as adopted by the Chandler City Council on May 23, 2002 including: • The project involves a small and irregularly shaped parcel • The parcel was not caused by lot splits or indiscriminate parcel divisions. • Geographically, the project is located north of the San Tan Freeway and east of Price Road • The proposed unit sizes create a diverse lot pattern under the circumstances • The proposed intensity, pattern and quality meets or exceeds that of the surrounding environment Despite meeting the infill project criteria, New Village Homes has developed a great housing product that provides a unique living concept. C. LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACES The Village at Hamilton Landing has been designed to provide for a diverse, well-planned community that incorporates community open spaces distributed throughout the site, recreational amenities and visually cohesive landscape and architectural elements. The landscape at The Village at Hamilton Landing is designed to create many usable amenities for the community. The community has 2.34 acres of common open space, which constitutes 40.3% of the net area. The open space is distributed evenly throughout the site with three major spaces that are designed to allow residents to interact and enjoy a variety of activities. The western amenity, the dog park, will be a space for residents with animals to take their pets. The space will be depressed from the street with the use of retaining walls. On the north side of the park, a wrought iron fence will stand on top of the retaining wall, providing views into the park. A trellis structure, the community mailboxes and benches will be located in the southeast corner of the park. An ADA accessible ramp will take residents down into the dog park, a large, grassy, area with a park bench and a water drinking fountain. The dog park will be fenced in, allowing owners to sit on the benches under the shade trees as their dogs use the park. See Exhibit 3 &4: Community Entry and Dog Park & Entry and Ramada Elevations. Just east of the dog park is another amenity that will provide residents with a place to gather and relax as the area will feature picnic tables, BBQs, shade trees and a turf area. A third amenity is located in the middle of the site. While this space houses a cell tower and associated pavered access path, the spaces utilize a grove of trees and picnic tables to activate the space and provide a tranquil setting for residents to gather and relax. The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 5 The Village at Hamilton Landing Additionally, some smaller passive open space areas with shade trees and turf are located throughout the community. These amenities will be an attractive destination for residents. See Exhibit 2: Overall Site Plan. Unlike typical townhomes, each lot has a rear yard, driveway, and front yard area that will be for the benefit of each unit. The backyards will be landscaped with pavers and decomposed granite to allow each homeowner to have a private outdoor space. Along the northern boundary, the backyards are setback a minimum of 20’ from the Willis Road right-of-way. This area was intentionally designed to create separation and privacy between the existing uses to the north and the proposed development. This perimeter buffer features landscaping and trees as well as retention basins. Along the Loop 202 San Tan Freeway, a buffer and trees were provided to mitigate noise from the freeway and provide residents with additional open space within the community. The plant palette for the proposed development will conform to the requirements set forth by the City of Chandler design guidelines. Understory plantings on the inside of the perimeter wall will include shrubs and groundcovers that will provide an array of texture and color. Throughout the community, many street and front yard trees are proposed, providing attractive and shaded spaces. The planting inside and outside the community will be green and colorful. See Exhibit 6: Planting Plans. A management company will maintain all open space, recreational amenities, common areas, front yards and landscaping on the site and in the right of way. D. ENTRY MONUMENTATION AND THEME WALLS In order to create a strong sense of community, the theme and fences of The Village at Hamilton Landing will aesthetically compliment the architectural styles of the adjacent residential and commercial neighborhoods. The theme wall will feature painted masonry block with a stacked bond pattern on top of running bond pattern block. A 2” thick masonry cap will top the wall. Stone clad columns will be located at key spots along the theme wall. Additionally, a wrought iron fence will be used along the dog park to allow for eyes on the amenity and open space and views into the community. The existing sound wall south of the ADOT Channel will remain in place and the existing chain link fence along the north side of the Channel will remain with some modifications to the alignment. See Exhibit 5: Wall Plan and Wall Details The entry to The Village at Hamilton Landing will be off of Willis Road and will feature a large entry monument to welcome residents to the community. The entry is enhanced with trees on both sides, stamped asphalt, entry trellis structures, and detached sidewalks. Because the entryway establishes the initial impression of the community, emphasis was placed on the design of the monument to provide an appealing visual impact. See Exhibit 4: Entry and Ramada Elevations. The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 6 The Village at Hamilton Landing E. SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING PRODUCT New Village Homes has taken great care and pride in designing and providing attractive, livable homes to our customers. Building off the success of Brighton Place, New Village Homes is proposing seven townhome buildings throughout the site. The buildings will combine either 3, 4, 5, or 7 or 8 units into a single building. Each unit will have an attached garage and extended driveway that allow for parking of three vehicles. The housing product for the Village at Hamilton Landing includes three different single-story, three- bedroom floor-plans. See Exhibit 9 and 11: Floor Plans & Paint and Materials Board. Architectural styles vary from craftsman to farmhouse to ranch with each elevation style carefully chosen and placed to create a look of individuality. Each floor plan will have three distinct elevations. Each exterior elevation has materials which are period correct for the chosen vernacular. Stone, exterior siding and stucco are dominating exterior finishes, with various design styles and colors of concrete roof tile. Each design has specifically selected fenestration details and elements such as shutters, projected wood sills and headers. Other architectural elements include wood or frame stucco posts or columns and awnings over windows at selected locations for maximum impact. Window designs are varied in their design with different styles of divided lites and mullions. Entry and garage doors also have several designs to suite each design style and to vary the streetscape as indicated in the elevation designs provided in this application. Varying roof designs were created to further provide individuality from home to home and create vertical undulation from the street view. The lighting fixtures will be architecturally consistent with the proposed buildings. Houses will have the option to add an electrical charging station in the driveway. Several materials and colors have been blended to create a diverse residential community look which further compliments the design concept of individual homes along a streetscape, removing any image of “row housing” that is common with townhomes. See Exhibit 8 & 11: Conceptual Elevations & Paint and Materials Board. F. PARKING PROVISIONS Special attention has been exhibited in both the site layout and product design to provide adequate resident and guest parking. Each lot will have at a one-car garage along with a 39’ driveway, allowing for storage of one vehicle within the garage and two vehicles on the driveway for a total of three private parking spaces per lot. In addition to the parking on each lot, the street will allow parking on the south side of the street. There is enough room to park 25 vehicles on the street. In addition to the street parking, there will be two pull-in ADA parking spaces. These two ADA Accessible spaces are adjacent to one of the amenities and close by the dog-park. Including the driveway, garage, street parking and ADA pull-in spaces, parking will be provided at a ratio of 3.75 spaces per unit. The total parking of 135 spaces exceeds the single-family standard of 72 required spaces. See Exhibit 7: Preliminary Development Plan. The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 7 The Village at Hamilton Landing G. CIRCULATION The project location provides future residents with easy access to the 202 San Tan Freeway. The entrances to the development will provide full access onto Willis Road. Willis Road will allow for southbound right turns to McQueen Road and the Loop 202 San Tan Freeway. The interior private streets are 39’ wide that includes a 29’ wide street that allows parking on one side of the street as well as 5’ sidewalks on both sides of the road. Due to the length of the street, a chicane will be located at approximately the midway point to provide traffic calming measures. H. PHASING This project will be developed as one continuous phase. All utilities and the main road will be constructed at one time. Any deviations to the phasing plan will be approved administratively. V. MISCELLANEOUS A. GRADING AND DRAINAGE The project site is currently an irrigated field, a cell tower and undeveloped land. As shown on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), map number 04013C2737M, with a current effective date of November 4, 2015 the site falls within Flood Zone X (shaded). Zone X (shaded) is defined as: 0.2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard, Areas of 1% annual chance flood with average depth less than one foot or with drainage areas of less than one square mile. Retention basins will be constructed to hold 110% of the 100-year, 2-hour storm and to provide for active use recreational areas for residents. See Exhibit 14: Preliminary Grading Plan. Onsite irrigation facilities will be abandoned with the construction of the community. B. UTILITIES Water & Sewer: Provided by the City of Chandler Electricity: Provided by SRP Communications: Provided by Century Link / Cox Communications C. TRASH Each lot will have their own trash containers that will be placed on the street for pickup. See Exhibit 12: Trash Collection Exhibit The Village at Hamilton Landing October 2021 Page 8 The Village at Hamilton Landing D. HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Hamilton Landing’s HOA will maintain all landscape tracts within the community as well as residents’ front yard landscaping. Theme and perimeter walls, signage, monumentation, recreational amenities, and open space areas, including retention areas will be the responsibility of the HOA to maintain. The individual homeowners will be responsible for the maintenance of their home and their backyard. The HOA will be responsible for the maintenance of the private streets. VI.
