The purpose of the /4D district is to permit developments with a variet of residential unit tpes

in an orderl relationship to one another" with a balance of communit supporting commercial

uses" communit amenities" and open space areas. It is intended that the /4D district be utili6ed

to create pedestrian oriented residential neighborhoods of traditional design phsicall integratedwith the existing surrounding development.

)rrington utili6es T5D principles and neo&traditional planning concepts throughout its design. Itcontains a traditional" generall rectilinear" pattern of bloc7s and interconnecting streets and

alles that are oriented to the pedestrian. The pro*ect re8uires each bloc7 to have a mix of lot

si6es" front ard setbac7s" building forms" architectural stles and building colors. /ublic spaces"

including large natural area par7s" developed communit greens" poc7et par7s and other open spaces" have been located throughout the pro*ect. These areas are easil accessible and

interconnected b sidewal7s and9or trails throughout the communit.

The lot si6es ad*acent to existing development appear to be compatible with the neighboring

properties. )dditionall a natural buffer" a minimum of a 1:: feet wide" has been provided where

the pro*ect is ad*acent to existing residential neighborhoods.

@9 he development is in s2stantial on,ormane +ith the adopted Comprehensive Plan +ithrespet to t&pe harater and intensit& o, se and p2li ,ailities9

The development is in conformance with the Comprehensive /lan in respect to tpe" character and

intensit of use and public facilities.

C9 he development provides omplementar& ommerial ses +here appropriate9

Commercial uses are not proposed with this application. Staff believes that the propert;s locationand development area is not conducive to or appropriate for commercial development.

Commercial uses are most appropriate within the (ain Street corridor of historic downtownWarrenton or other established commercial areas of Warrenton. The addition of commercial uses

in the pro*ect would create competition" and li7el not be beneficial to either the citi6ens of

$au8uier and Warrenton" or the )pplicant.

)rrington is proposed to contain a mix of front loaded" rear loaded and side loaded single&famil

detached units. The )pplicant has reserved the right to convert some of detached rear loadedunits into attached 0townhome rear loaded units at a later date. Each bloc7 face at )rrington is

re8uired to have at least three different tpes of lot widths" with a minimum ten 01: foot difference

With the exception of the extension of )lwington Foulevard to provide a secondar entrance to the

a minimum of a 1:: foot buffer between the existing residential communities to the west and the

This waiver is for the main entrance road into the pro*ect from Shirle )venue" and within the 4)

area of the pro*ect. The applicant is re8uesting grass shoulders along the main entrance road into

the communit to meet the aesthetic desires of the pro*ect. 5o par7ing is being proposed for this street. The street which is planned in the 4) area is onl providing vehicular access to nine 0@

home sites with low volume trips and limited on&street par7ing demands. Staff supports this

re8uest as it minimi6es the impervious areas and provides a more rural loo7 which would bedesired in this portion of the development.

The )pplicant has stated that the inclusion of an urban cottage on a lot will be presented to the

prospective buer of the house as an option. Therefore" re8uiring the cottages to be designated onthe final plat is premature. This waiver would give flexibilit to the developer and future home

owners as to the location of the urban cottages. Should this waiver be granted" it will be theresponsibilit of the developer and Communit Development staff" at time of building permit" to

7eep a tall of the total urban cottages. Staff has no ob*ections to this re8uest" as it allows the

urban cottages to be constructed where the are desired b the end users.

on the CD/. The state that the determination to have an urban cottage will be made b the home

buer" therefore" re8uiring the !rban Cottage to be designated on the CD/ or final plat is premature. )dditionall" a homeowner ma re8uest to construct an urban cottage after the initial

phase of home construction" which potentiall would not be permitted with strict adherence to the

Honing 2rdinance. Staff believes that this re8uest is *ustified as it provides flexibilit to thedeveloper and future homeowners as to the location and construction of the urban cottages.

proposed to be served b an alle and front a communit green" which will be owned and

maintained b the )rrington Conservanc. Staff has no ob*ections to this re8uest" as it creates anadditional and distinct product tpe for the communit. )dditionall" it minimi6es the impervious

area and removes a portion of the road where it is not needed" while still allowing the lot to front

on a public space.
