The specific goals and objectives for the project are: • Provide residential development that is consistent with the location and the goals and objectives of the adopted Black Mountain Ranch Subarea Plan. • Provide new residential development, which is consistent with existing residential development patterns in the surrounding area. • Implement “smart growth” principles of development through the provision of new residences within a complete master planned community. • Implement sustainable development principles through the provision of a community of new residences with many energy-efficient features. • Provide infrastructure improvements consistent with the Subarea Plan. 3.3 Description of Project Components 3.3.1 Residential Development The project would develop 84 detached multi-family residential units and associated private drives as shown in the Site and Grading Plan (Figure 3-3). The proposed development would include grading, landscaping, brush management and the installation of all necessary infrastructure (utility lines, storm drains, etc.). The Black Mountain Ranch Subarea Plan allows 117 dwelling units on the site, including a requirement for 19 affordable units. The project proposes to construct 84 detached multi-family units on-site and transfer 19 affordable units to Lot X of Map 15919 in the Black Mountain Ranch North Village Town Center. In addition, the project proposes the transfer of 14 dwelling units to Lots 12, 13, 18 and 19 of Map 15919 in the Black Mountain Ranch North Village Town Center. In total, the project proposes a combined 117 dwelling units, including 19 affordable units, on-site and off-site in conformance with the Black Mountain Ranch Subarea Plan. The proposed 84 detached multi-family units to be developed on-site would consist of four different housing product types: 20 detached multi-family, 2,289-square-foot residential units; 20 detached multi-family, 2,303-square-foot residential units; 22 detached multi-family, 2,446-sqaure-foot residential units, and 22 detached multi-family, 2,479squarefoot residential units. As shown in Table 3-1, the project would construct a total of 200,190 square feet of detached multi-family residential development based on this mix of product types.
