I. HOUSING A. The concerns and needs for housing in Garfield County are as follows: - "More housing is needed. - There is a critical lack of affordable housing. - More variety in the housing types available through- out the county is needed. - Current regulations support the expensive, single family dwelling and do not have enough flexibility to encourage more variety."1 B. Applicable portions of the Goals, Objectives and Policies of Garfield County with regard to housing: "Promote variety in housing types and spatial mix through the use of Planned Unit Development (PUD) design."2 "Utilize the cluster development technique as an incen- tive for less expensive housing, especially in areas where it is desirable to preserve agricultural land or where scenic attributes should be maintained."3 - "Utilize flexibility in housing development review and regulation to encourage residential developments other than single-family detached housing."4 C. Comment: The Canyon Creek PUD addresses the housing needs of Garfield County by providing a variety of housing types including single-family townhouses and single-family detached housing incorporated with common open space areas designed for recreational purposes and to protect environmentally sensitive areas. -1- • • The single-family townhouses will provide an afford- able housing option in the Canyon Creek PUD. Fifty-two townhouses are proposed for the PUD. Townhouses are de- fined as follows: Townhouses are lineal or clustered arrangements of between four and twelve dwelling units. No one unit is above another unit. Each unit is on pri- vate property and has private outdoor space. Townhouses share common walls and structure, utilities and parking. Townhouses also share such elements as landscaping, vehi- cular entry and guest parking. Because of common or shared elements townhouses have reduced development and building costs thus providing a more affordable housing option than single-family de- tached housing. The Canyon Creek PUD provides for 52 townhouses and 17 single-family homes. The townhouse tracts have a density of one home per .25 acres. The single-family units have a density of one home per 2.2 acres. Included in the PUD plan are 19.52 acres of common open space. The common open space parcels provide recrea- tion areas and seek to preserve steep slopes and riparian areas adjacent to Canyon Creek. The variety of housing options in the Canyon Creek PUD provides for an affordable housing option while preserving the natural features of the site. II. RECREATION/OPEN SPACE A. Applicable goals, objectives and policies concerning recreation/open space as addressed in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan are as follows: "Ensure adequate active usable park land is pro- vided in subdivisions where access to existing parks is limited, or where existing parks may become inadequate to serve additional population gener- ated by the subdivision. -2- • i - Encourage subdivisions and other developments to use open space dedication to preserve en- vironmentally sensitive or hazardous lands from development." 5 B. Comment: The Canyon Creek PUD provides common open space parcels for active and passive recreation while utilizing dedicated common space to preserve environ- mentally sensitive areas. The majority of the Canyon Creek PUD encircles common open space centrally located on the meadow atop the Wolverton Mesa. Housing is situated on the periphery of the meadow with over seven acres of the meadow being dedicated common open space This design creates a park -like landscape for the recreational and visual enjoyment of the residents of the Canyon Creek PUD. Environmentally sensitive areas such as the Canyon Creek Riparian area and associated steep slopes are protected as common open space areas reserved strictly for passive recreational uses. III. ENVIRONMENT A. Applicable portions of the Garfield County Compre- hensive Plan regarding environmental design are as follows: "Protect river front/riparian areas from encroach- ment by development. - Protect drainages and prevent soil erosion by requiring development to mitigate erosion and pre- serve natural drainage through the development. - Protect areas of excessive slope from disturbance. - Ensure the minimum disturbanc of slopes to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and runoff. • • - Protect natural landscape features by "fitting" the development to the land."6 B. Comment: The riparian areas adjacent to Canyon Creek are dedicated as common open space. Steep slopes ass- ociated with the southern and western edges of the Wolverton Mesa are common open space areas and protected from development. Designated building envelopes will be sited in areas that are not on steep slopes or on natural drainages so as to protect these natural features. Much of the meadowland of the Wolverton Mesa will be preserved as common open space thus preserving the "open" quality of the mesa. 1. Garfield County, Concerns and Policies Page 1 2. Ibid, Page 7 3.
