Agenda Item: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider a Recommendation Regarding a Zoning Change Request to Amend “Planning Area 5,” a Portion of Planned Development District 3 (PD 3-5), Located along State Highway 170 and State Highway 114, by Dividing Said Planning Area into Two (2) New Planning Areas to be Known as PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B and Establishing Development Regulations, Permitted Uses, and Allowable Densities for Both Planning Areas. Additionally, 336,000 square feet of allowed density will be transferred from PD 3-3 to the PD 3-5 Planning area. I. CASE INFORMATION Development Name: Project Blizzard Location: This property is generally located at the intersection of State Highway 170 and State Highway 114, part of the Circle T Ranch in the PD3-5 Zoning District. Owner: Hillwood Properties Applicant: Joe Schneider, Vice President, Hillwood Properties Developer: Hillwood Properties Site Size: 153 (+/-) acres Permitted Use(s): Existing uses include Mixed-Use, Office, and certain Single Family Residential Uses. See Ordinance 452 (attached) for a complete listing. Summary: This is an application by the property owner, Hillwood Properties, to amend the zoning of the Planning Area 5 portion of Planned Development District 3 (PD3-5), a 153 acre (+/-) tract located at the intersection of SH170 and SH114 on the Circle T Ranch. The owner and applicant are requesting that PD 3-5 be amended as follows: 1. Divide the PD 3-5 Planning Area to create two (2) separate Planning Areas, to be identified as PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B as shown on the map below. Existing allowable building square footages to be divided between the two areas. It should be noted that PD3-5A has two (2) parts with the southern portion being creek/drainage areas near Lake Turner (currently undevelopable without extensive fill and FEMA/Corps of Engrs. Regulation). 2. Increase maximum allowable building square footages for both proposed Planning Areas while reducing the maximum allowable building square footage in PD 3-3 by an equal amount. The proposed amendment does not change the aggregate maximum allowable building square footage on the Circle T as a whole (PD3). 3. Amend the maximum allowable building heights for the PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B Planning Areas 4. Amend the Development Standards for the PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B Planning Areas. 5. No new uses are requested in this application, only the changes to the existing uses cites above. The apartment use discussed in November with the Commission is not included in this Zoning Change Request. The property owner has filed this particular Zoning Change Request as part of Project Blizzard, which involves the construction of a major corporate office campus for the Charles Schwab financial services firm on the proposed PD 3-5B tract, as well as a mixed-use development including office, retail, hotel, and residential components on the proposed PD 3-5A tract (see attached location map). Previous Activity Related to this Request: The applicant made a presentation on this proposed development at the Commission’s November 9, 2015 meeting and advised that this development would include a significant corporate office campus for a major financial services company. In addition, the applicant’s client believed there was a need to have a “live/work/play” type environment near their office campus. To that end, the client had requested that a mixed use development be co- located immediately north of their office campus complex that included 750 “urban living” (i.e. multi- family or apartments) units. The Applicant next filed a zoning change request, without requesting the urban living use, which would have been a new use as PD3-5 does not have multi-family as a permitted use. The case was scheduled for public hearing before the Commission and Town Council in December 2016. However, Page 2 of 23 this zoning change application, while containing many of the same components as cited above in terms of existing uses, was withdrawn by the applicant before it was heard by either body. II. SPECIFICS OF THIS ZONING CHANGE REQUEST The current permitted uses in PD3-5 (established in Ord. 452, 2004) are: • Mixed Use • Includes retail, hotel, restaurant, office, and residential (275 Single Family Residential, Attached & Detached) • Maximum aggregate floor area of 1,305,060sf (All Uses within Mixed Use Area) • Mixed Use is defined by high lot coverage, minimal setbacks, pedestrian friendliness, and a variety of uses in close proximity to one-another • Office/Commercial/Government/Institutional • Maximum aggregate floor area of 884,505sf (Outside of Mixed Use Area) • Residential • Limited to 275 Single Family Residential (SFR) dwelling units • Permitted Attached (i.e. townhomes) or Detached Overall, the owner and applicant are requesting that PD 3-5 be amended as follows: 1. Divide the PD 3-5 Planning Area to create two (2) separate Planning Areas, to be identified as PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B. Existing allowable building square footages to be divided between these two areas. 2. Increase maximum allowable building square footages for both proposed Planning Areas 3-5A and PD3-5B while reducing the maximum allowable building square footage in PD 3-3 by an equal amount. The proposed amendment does not change the aggregate maximum allowable building square footage in Planned Development District 3 (The Circle T Ranch). 3. Amend the maximum allowable building heights for the PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B Planning Areas as follows: 4. Amend the Development Standards for the PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B Planning Areas Page 3 of 23 The property owner has filed this request as part of Project Blizzard, which involves the construction of a major corporate office campus for the Charles Schwab financial services firm on the proposed PD 3-5B tract, as well as a mixed used development including office, retail, hotel, and residential components on the proposed PD 3-5A tract (see attached location map). It should be noted that Roadway & Residential Slope Requirements would not apply to proposed PD3-5A or PD 3-5B because the developer desires to create a pedestrian friendly environment incorporating mixed use into the design idea. Staff recommends that, if approved, this zoning request would be implemented by three (3) separate proposed ordinances as follows: Ordinance 768 modifying PD 3-3 would: 1. Reduce the maximum allowable building square footage in PD-3 by an amount equal to the increase in maximum allowable building square footage in PD 3-5A and PD 3-5B. This makes PD3-3 the “sending district” in terms of square footage being sent from this district to the new PD3-5A. Ordinance 769 creating PD 3-5A would: 1. Establish the boundaries of the new Planning Area 2. Establish new limits on allowable square footage for permitted uses 3. Establish new limitations on building heights 4. Amend existing Mixed-Use development regulations/standards Ordinance 770 creating PD 3-5B would: 1. Establish the boundaries of the new Planning Area 2. Establish allowable square footage for permitted uses 3. Eliminate all residential uses and mixed-use development standards 4. Specify maximum allowable building heights 5. Authorize signage regulations specific to the PD 3-5B Planning Area Note that permitted uses in this proposed Planning Area PD3-5B are identical to existing permitted uses in PD 3-5, with the exception of Number #3 (residential and mixed use) listed above. A summary of the square footage transfer that would be affected by the approval of these three (3) proposed ordinances is as follows: Page 4 of 23 Note that existing zoning entitlements contained in PD 3-5 include office and various retail/commercial uses, as well as 275 residential dwelling units (i.e. single family attached, detached, and zero lot lines, examples- townhomes, garden homes; see below). This zoning amendment request does not add new uses or change or modify existing residential entitlements, except to the extent that residential uses and mixed-use development standards are restricted only to the PD 3-5A Planning Area, i.e. residential uses and mixed-use development standards would not be permitted uses in PD3-5B (which is the proposed office campus area for Schwab). III. GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE APPLICATION Highlights of Alignment With Comprehensive Plan: The proposed uses are consistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. A discussion of some of the main areas of Comprehensive Plan focus follows, after which is a more detailed analysis of compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. • Land Use and Development Square Footage: The additional square footage transferred from PD 3-3 to PD 3-5 is generally consistent with the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Elements regarding not increasing overall entitlements in Westlake, but allowing, where it is concert with the Comprehensive Plan. for entitlements to be transferred from one planning area or district to another, i.e. from sending to receiving zones. It is recommended and encouraged that future further transfers of non-residential square footage be taken from PD3-3. • View Sheds & Corridors: The building height additions requested are generally consistent with the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan elements, i.e. view shade and view shed zones. The location of the development is north of areas of the Town characterized by hilly topography, i.e. residential views of this site from the south of this development will be blocked by hills located just south of the Blizzard development. • Transportation: Site fits with the Thoroughfare Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Road infrastructure within the site would be the construction responsibility of the developer. At the time of submission of a PD site plan a transportation impact study will be required whereby the development’s on-site and off-site traffic impact will be determined. Off-site traffic impacts will be assessed in accordance with Comprehensive Plan Policy B.2 which states defines traffic loads that would require off-site street improvements attributable to a particular development. • Utilities: Water and sewer utilities are provided by the Town and service is available to the subject site. Any dedication of water and sewer easements for public lines will be dealt with at the time of site plan and/or preliminary plat submission. Page 5 of 23 • Site Design/Drainage: A PD site plan will be required at the time of proposed development along with a preliminary plat which will establish storm drainage requirements for the site. The building massing plan that the applicant has prepared to date (it is not final, but shows preliminary placement of buildings and parking, utilizes the site’s natural beauty with its adjacency to Lake Turner. • Trails/ Pedestrian Circulation and Open Space: Comportment with these elements of the Comprehensive Plan will be made at the time of PD Site Plan submission, including parkland dedication requirements. • Economic Development Element: Proposed development fits the Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan by developing “industry clusters”, in this case financial services business addition to this existing industry cluster, to expand Westlake’s tax base. Note: More detailed analysis of this Zoning Change Request with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan is in Attachment A to this Staff Report. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission forward the following Ordinances to the Town Council with a recommendation for approval: • Ordinance 768 modifying PD 3-3 as the “sending district” transferring certain office/commercial square footage to PD 3-5A and B as outlined in this proposed ordinance. • Ordinance 769 creating PD 3-5A from PD3-5 with proposed development standards and accommodating the increased development square footage for certain existing uses coming from PD3-3 as outlined in the proposed ordinance. • Ordinance 770 creating PD 3-5B from PD 3-5 with proposed development standards and accommodating the increased development square footage for certain existing uses as outlined in the proposed ordinance.

Environmental Sustainability and Conservation NO NO NO No inherent water conservation measures presented Parks and Recreation YES NA NA Major public gathering space presented 2. The Thoroughfare Plan: a. General Intent of the Thoroughfare Plan: The Thoroughfare Plan establishes a coherent traffic system which anticipates the trip generation potential of Town build-out to 70% of entitlement. In addition, the Thoroughfare Plan: i. Establishes a north-south/ east-west street network system with capacity to accommodate 70% buildout of entitlement. ii. Mitigates limitations to Freeway/ Interchange capacity due to regional traffic flows iii. Improves Town connectivity between live, work, shop, entertainment, and amenity. iv. Establishes a framework for growth that more evenly distributes commercial value and protects residential values v. Accommodates pedestrian and bicycle movement vi. Diverts a substantial portion of the commercially generated traffic from residential segments of Dove Road vii. Identifies Design Focus and Special Consideration points within the proposed system. viii. Establishes a Town-wide Street Typology b. Application compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan: Page 9 of 23 THOROUGHFARE PLAN St r e e t a n d P a t h w a y s La y o u t La n d U s e Re l a t i o n s h i p s St r e e t D e s i g n COMMENTS North-south/ east-west street network YES NA YES Provides Regional Arterial as illustrated on the Thoroughfare Plan and sets up extension westward as per the Thoroughfare Plan. Shifts Ottinger connection as indicated by thoroughfare plan to east side of Lake Turner to be addressed at at a future date Mitigate limitations to Freeway Interchange capacity NO NA NO Mitigation of Freeway limitations is dependent on off-site thoroughfare connections. Later phases may encounter LOS impacts without such connections. Initial phases should work with streets shown but a TIA is needed. Presentation does not show SH114 ramp from the north as it connects to the existing service road…ingress/ egress study needed to understand regional and local traffic flow along service road as it relates to development. Town Connectivity YES YES YES Sets up connection with Presentation identified off site street extensions, provides trail connections to major amenity features and commercial/ work elements, and integrated live work related land uses. Framework for growth YES NA NA Transfer the major places of development value away from the freeway service road to internal streets, thereby setting up pattern for continuation of such non-freeway fronting development. Development capture is not ties to freeway but Page 10 of 23 moves into the Town fabric. Pedestrian and bicycle movement YES YES YES Presentation appears to connect regional trails to work and entertainment destination as well as primary lake front amenity. Divert from Dove POTENTIAL YES NA Requires off-site system connections to prevent traffic from using Ottinger to Dove as the non-service road route. Mixed Use reduces trips which relieves traffic on Dove. Resolves points of Design Focus/ Special Consideration NO NA NA The issue of Design Focus #1 (as identified on the Thoroughfare Plan) is not affected by the thoroughfare proposed, thereby pushing resolution of this issue to the east side of Lake Turner. Establish Town wide Street Typology YES NA NO Plan implements the Regional Road Connection to 114. The street ROW for the Regional Road needs to match Comp Plan (no scale or design provided at this point). 3. The Land Use Plan: a.

FINAL STAFF COMMENTS RE: COMP PLAN AND THIS ZONING CHANGE REQUEST Site Plan and supporting documents: Based on the above analysis of the application and supporting documents, the proposed project generally conforms to the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Elements with a few exceptions as noted in the tables above. Land Use and Development Square Footage: The additional office square footage (transferred from PD 3-3 to PD 3-5) is generally consistent with the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Elements. It is recommended and encouraged that future transfer of office square footage be taken from PD3-3. High-quality design, construction, and attainment of various types of high-quality housing is recommended in order to continue the community supported desire to be unlike all other suburbs. Also, the Comprehensive Plan (pages 306 and 308) identifies the need for Office-Driven Mixed Use as one means of employee retention. Building Height: The height additions requested are generally consistent with the intent and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan elements. Page 22 of 23 Road Connections to the South: As the proposed phases of this project are implemented, a TIA for each phase will be needed to determine the extent to which off-site road extensions/ connections may be required to maintain a Level of Service (LOS) D or less. The Comprehensive Plan recommends a maximum LOS of D. The Comprehensive Plan Thoroughfare Element sought to bring Ottinger north to 114 east or west of Lake Turner. Approval of this application displaces the Ottinger issue to a future date when the need for such connection may be more material. The conceptual plan does not include the 114 ramp connection to the service road on the north property boundary. This connection should be considered in the future TIA/ traffic studies.
