Re: Desk Item for Agenda Item #11: Draft Objective Standards
Mayor and Town Council.
The following are my comments on the much improved version of the Draft Objective Standards
Comments:
Why is SB 9 Ordinance codified into the Town Code, but the Objective Standards are not? Both
the Town’s Draft Objective Standards and theTown’s SB 9 Ordinance are on the Council
Agenda tonight. Agenda Item #5, the SB 9 Ordinance will be codified into the Town Code;
however, Agenda Item #11, the Draft Objective Standards which implement SB 167, SB 35,
and SB 330, will be adopted by Resolution.
Modify the Title to read:: Objective Design Standards for Qualifying Multi-Family and
Residential Mixed Use Projects.
Page 1: Incorporate by reference: Add links to the additional relevant objective standards
contained the listed documents that apply to the Draft Objective Standards
Last paragraph: Replace with a statement similar to the language used in the SB 9 Ordinance
such as: Applications for a multifamily housing development or a mixed use residential
development may be processed either using:
○These objective standards through a ministerial review and approval process, or
○The Town’s discretionary approval process, in which case the objective
standards contained within would not apply.
Page 2: Key Terms: Suggest deleting the terms Community recreation space, and Private
recreation space and replacing them with Community Outdoor Space and Private Outdoor
Space in Key Terms and through the Objective Standards
A.5.1: Add language to allow for additional and greater setbacks that might be required to
accommodate a sloped entry into an underground parking garage.
A.7.2b: Add a requirement for landscaping between the trees
A.10.1: Is there a minimum square footage required for a space to be counted towards
landscaping?

A.10.b.ii: Why doesn't this also apply to ground floor space?

Figure B.1.c and Figure 3.1e Delete the duplicate figure and the figure of courtyard
Figure B.3.1: Add legend for Figure B.3.1 or is the intent to delete this figure?

change in paint color should be included in this list. Is including awnings encouraging
architecture by awnings?
