Landmark / Van Dorn Small Area Plan Chapter 10 Proposed Master Plan Amendments MPA/RZ #2020-00009 The Applicant proposes the following changes to the Landmark/Van Dorn Small Area Plan (the “SAP”) to permit development consistent with the concurrently filed CDD #2020- 00007 (the “CDD”). Overall, the amendments requested represent those changes which will permit development to move forward on the high-quality, mixed-use environment envisioned in the SAP, along with a suite of community benefits. Proposed amendments are discussed in further detail below. 1. Revisions to Figures Generally The Applicant requests revisions to Figures that are consistent with the proposed CDD plan and the more particularly described amendments to the SAP discussed below. The Figures should further be amended to ensure that any applicable Notes conform with the various amendments below. As an example, Figure 12, Note 4 should be amended consistent with the proposed changes to Recommendation 10.2.7 below. 2. Revisions to References to Blocks and/or Roads Generally Where specifically referenced in the SAP, the Applicant requests an amendment of names indicating specific Blocks and/or Roads to be consistent with the nomenclature used in the CDD plan. This will ensure that future efforts to compare the implementation of the SAP with the proposed CDD plan and future individual block DSUPs are not hampered by the use of inconsistent labeling. For example, references to “Framework Street D” in the SAP would be changed to reference “Road 1.” 3. Location of Potential Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge Connection The Applicant requests an amendment to relocate the “Potential Pedestrian / Bicycle Bridge Connection” to the northern end of the site as, shown on Sheet 07 of the CDD plan, on all Figures that show it. While only illustrative in the SAP, the current location is not feasible. 4. Changes to the Approved Street Network The Applicant requests changes to the overall street network detailed in the SAP, consistent with Sheet 08 of the CDD plan. These changes accommodate revised plans for the “green street,” and retention of the existing above grade parking structure and revisions to the layout of individual Blocks. The Applicant further requests an amendment to replace “Framework Street S” with an internal service connection as shown on Sheet 08 of the CDD plan. While this connection will provide access for ambulances, fire trucks, and loading/unloading, given the grading of the site, this connection is not a through connection and will not be used by the general public. 5. Changes to the Application of the Street Hierarchy Changes to the application of the street hierarchy, consistent with Sheet 08 of the CDD plan, are requested
