The community will consist of the land uses shown in Table 1: Table 1 Land Use Acreage* Single-Family 143.9 Multi-Family 19.3 Senior (Assisted Living and/or skilled nursing) 7.5 Neighborhood Commercial 1.5 Recreation Center & Park 4.1 Amenitized Lake/Detention and Walking Trail 21.1 Drainage/Detention 14.4 Loop Street/Landscape Reserves 22.9 Total 234.7 *Acreages may vary Master planned communities require a diverse range of single-family lot sizes in order to create a rich community atmosphere. This range of lot and home types appeals to a broad range of the population and provides opportunities for buyers at various stages of their home-ownership cycle to purchase or move up within the community. Multi-Family and Senior Living options are an important and often forgotten part of the housing life-cycle and contribute to the -Family zoning requirements. Commensurate with other quality master planned communities, the community will consist of the single-family lot sizes shown in Table 2: Table 2 Lot Width Number Percentage* 45 feet 190 29.6% 50 feet 326 50.8% 60 feet 126 19.6% Total 642 100.0% *Percentages may vary Some flexibility is required in order to allow master planned communities to respond to market changes and avoid stagnation. In order to ensure flexibility, we request that a) the exact percentages in Table 2 and the acreages in Table 1 may vary by 5%, with an exception for the proposed multifamily use; b) the placement of lot sizes within different pods of the development as proposed on the attached schematic plan and General Plan may shift or change places as needed; and c) the placement and exact boundaries between the commercial, multi-family, and senior housing tracts may shift within their corner of the General Plan. The additional exception we would request for the multifamily landuse would be to specify that it may not increase more than 5% of the specified acreage on the General Plan and listed within Table 1, but that its acreage could be reduced by greater than 5%. In addition to these acreages, the maximum number of single-family lots may not exceed 675, the number of multifamily units may not exceed 350, and the senior assisted living/skilled nursing units may not exceed 100 units. Additionally, the development will hold to the metrics proposed by the requested Variances included in this document. 23501 Cinco Ranch Boulevard | Suite A-250 | Katy, Texas 77494 | 281-579-0340
