Ordinance No. 2017-3878 Page 8 of 15
EXHIBIT "E"
Purpose,Intent and Community Benefit: The City's Medical District Master Plan recognizes the
importance of developing this area as an urban environment with both the density and the mix of uses to
serve the area with offices, services, and retail, as well as living opportunities for employees and patrons
of the area. The intent is for this area to serve as a Health and Wellness District that provides a Live-
Work-Play environment with enhanced pedestrian facilities and destinations.
In order to construct a more urban environment, some of the City's existing development standards must
be modified. In general, structures are proposed to have minimal setbacks, few height limitations, and no
buffers between uses. Additionally, availability of public parking is considered very important to the
success of the development.
To encourage a healthy lifestyle, site enhancements will be made throughout to provide pedestrian traffic
within and through the site for both recreation and commuting. This will be accomplished in part by
providing trail connections to the Lick Creek hike and bike trail, and enhanced recreational amenities
around the existing pond within the development.
To provide a walkable vibrant urban environment,the public realm should be supported by landscape, site
furniture, outdoor plazas and art. The urban design and mixed-use nature of the development will create
the need for enhanced urban amenities such as benches and other site furniture, street trees, enhanced
paving materials, and wide sidewalks. All street furniture and amenities as well as placement will be
standardized according to the District's architectural guidelines. Street light standards are proposed to be
distinct to the District and will be coordinated between the City and the District.
Base Zoning Districts: The PDD Planned Development District zoning includes the following base
zoning districts and all requirements associated with those base zoning districts shall apply except where
specifically modified herein. The PDD Planned Development District zoning includes base zoning

Exhibit"C"), GS General Suburban with modifications(for the area described as"Town Center

Areas Protected"in Exhibit"C").
The PDD includes a number of modifications, listed below,to realize the urban proposal.In addition,
amendments to Preliminary Plans and their associated Final Plats may be taken through the review

are allowed from the MU Mixed Use Landscape Standards where MU Mixed Use
Landscape Standards would otherwise apply:
• Flexibility with the spacing,placement, and planting materials for street trees that
have close proximity to building foundations will be provided. This allows for a
streetscape that is more compatible in an urban environment.
• Required Street Trees may be selected from the canopy or non-canopy list as
space allows.
• A minimum 6' length x 3' wide tree planting area is required. No tree grate is
required.
• Section 12-7.7 Buffer Requirements

Ordinance No. 2017-3878 Page 14 of 15
Floodplain& Detention:A drainage analysis is required to determine the extent of detention needed on
' site, as required by the Unified Development Ordinance. The developer or the Municipal Management
District is responsible for providing all storm water detention facilities. After construction, all storm
water detention facilities will be maintained by the Rock Prairie Municipal Management District Number
2 (MMD).
Floodplain mitigation may be appropriate in areas designated as Natural Areas if located inconspicuously
and approved by the City Engineer.
Portions of the floodplain may be reclaimed for development as shown on the Conceptual Land Use Plan
as Natural Preserve or Parkland. Such land development shall be in compliance with applicable City
ordinances and approved by the City Engineer.
Salt Water Disposal Well: An existing salt water disposal well exists on the property, located in the
proposed commercial area north of the pond and east of the future extension of Bird Pond Road. Due to
existing equipment on the Richie Willis SWD#1 Well,the HUD Acceptable Separation Distance
calculated a recommended thermal radial buffer of 211 feet measured from the earthen berm surrounding
the tanks.
• No portion of any townhome or commercial lot shall be platted(preliminary plan or final plat)
within the 211 feet of the tanks' berm.
• Only limited,passive uses of the parkland and ROW are permitted within 211 feet of the tanks'
berm. Specifically,permitted uses include thoroughfare, sidewalks, landscaping,parking lots,
etc. The following are examples of items that are not permitted: benches,bus stops,recreational
equipment, structures, etc.
• The Developer's professional engineer may incorporate a Mitigation Plan to reduce the stated 211
feet thermal radiation buffer and have the sealed plan approved by the City Engineer.
Parkland Dedication Proposal: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board considered this item in
February and recommended approval of the proposal, as depicted below:

Public parkland dedication for this planned development shall be approximately 30 - 50 acres, based on
the ultimate number of dwelling units, as required by City ordinance. This total acreage reflects the
requirement for both neighborhood and community parks. The exact acreage required for dedication will
be based on the number of dwelling units developed.
The dedicated community parkland will become an extension of the Southeast Community Park with a
continuation of the Lick Creek Hike and Bike Trail. Extensive trails will be built within the floodplain to
connect to the City's trail system. This creates a higher level of connectivity though the park system. The
land within the floodplain is proposed to be counted at the same ratio as other park land within the
development to meet the parkland dedication requirements.
Urban parks such as highly amenitized linear street side parks and other urban green spaces are also
proposed for parkland dedication. The linear parks will range from 50—90 feet in width and run parallel
to roadways, as depicted.
The natural pond on the property will be maintained and may be increased to serve as
detention/retention. The detention/retention may extend into the flood plain area designated as Natural
Areas Protected, and will be maintained as well. The full acreage of the pond and park area will be
counted toward parkland dedication.
Parkland and trail(both on-site and off-site) development is proposed in multiple phases commensurate
with build out of the project. The off-site trails will be developed by the developer or the MMD,no later
than the last portion of dedication of park land,within the development, shown on the Parks plan exhibit.
All park and public spaces will be maintained by the MMD.
