Minimum Maximum <br />Residential 43% 75% <br />Commercial 15% 44% <br />Office 6% 29% <br />The project could include 23 or more low to mid -rise buildings (multi - family, <br />commercial /retail, office, bank, and hotel) with 600,000 to 935,290square feet of floor <br />area. <br />with application materials available at <br />http: / /www.townofchapelhill.org /home /showdocument ?id ®24597. Although lengthy, the <br />staff report and application materials contain a wealth of information about the proposed <br />project. <br />The SUP application includes four conceptual site layouts. This is different from the <br />Town's typical SUP application which usually includes only a single layout. The idea is <br />to provide the parameters under which the site will be developed, establishing minimum <br />and maximum floor areas, build -to lines, block frontage percentages, building heights, <br />etc. and as the final densities, users, building footprints and tenant requirements are <br />identified, the developer will work closely with Town staff to provide final plans that meet <br />not only the requirements of the development but also the vision of the Town and the <br />applicable ordinances. <br />County Planning Comments <br />County Planning staff is focusing on the aspects of the project that have a more direct <br />effect on the County and its residents and as noted earlier, the jointly developed land <br />use plan of the general area near the intersection of 1 -40 and MILK. An interesting note <br />is that this site is proximate to the `population center' of Orange County. This means the <br />shortest cumulative drive distance to a central point based on population countywide. <br />Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance <br />A Certificate of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS) must be issued by Chapel Hill - <br />Carrboro City Schools prior to issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit for any phase <br />proposing residential dwelling units. A maximum of 806 multi - family (MF) dwelling units <br />are being proposed. <br />At current expected student generation rates of 0.07 students per unit, approximately 56 <br />students. <br />
