Claudia Hanson, Planning Manager Community Development Department City of Reno P.O. Box 1900 Reno NV 89505 Dear Claudia:

SUBJECT: Master Plan Amendment – Mountain View Cemetery Vacant Land

DISCUSSION OF CURRENT & PROPOSED MASTER PLAN The proposed project is located between West Fourth Street to the south and Interstate 80 to the north. The project lies east of the Reno Vista Ridge development and Summit Ridge Drive. The Mountain View Cemetery, an aggregate processing facility, and an auto storage/wrecking yard lie to the west. The north and west side of the subject property has a master plan designation of Special Planning Area (parcel 006-250-51) while the southeast portion has a designation of Industrial. The Mountain View Cemetery has a land use designation of Public Facility and the auto storage/wrecking yard has a designation of Special Planning Area. The Reno Vista Ridge project has a small lot single family residential project to the north and apartments to the south. The small lot single family residential area has a land use designation of Mixed Residential while the multi-family development has a land use designation of Urban Residential Commercial. The City is currently working on a comprehensive Master Plan update called “ReImagine Reno”. The new master plan will have new land use designations specific to residential development, mixed use development, and employment. We believe the new residential categories of Mixed Neighborhood” and “Multi-family Neighborhood” will be entirely appropriate for the north and south portions of the site respectively upon adoption of the new master plan. Thus, we propose to initially designate the area due east of the small lot single family homes as “Mixed Residential” upon approval by the Reno City Council and a finding of conformance with the Regional Plan by the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission. Mixed Residential allows 3 to 21 dwelling units per acre. We propose to initially designate the area due east of the Reno Vista Ridge multi-family homes as “Urban Residential Commercial” that allows a full range of commercial activities with increasing degrees of intensity. For example, MF-30 zoning is a common use in Urban Residential Commercial land use zones developed for residential use. We propose the west border between the two designations of Mixed Residential and Urban Residential Commercial coincide with the change from Mixed Residential and Urban Residential Commercial that currently exists today within the Reno Vista Ridge area.

We do not feel that commercial activity is appropriate in this area given the modest volumes of traffic on W. 4th Street and elevation difference between the site and W. 4th Street. Thus, it is our intension that upon council approval of the ReImagine Reno Master Plan update and a finding of conformance with the Regional Plan by the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission that the new residential land use categories be assigned to the project as follows: change the designation of the Mixed Residential area to “Mixed Neighborhood” that allows moderate density housing from 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre; and, change the designation of the area due east of the Reno Vista Ridge multi-family homes as “Multi-family Neighborhood” that allows higher density housing from 15 to 30 dwelling units per acre. We feel that this change will be beneficial to the project by ensuring that no commercial activity occur in the future and that no densities occur that exceed 30 dwelling units per acre. PROJECT SUMMARY

To ensure compatibility with the Reno Vista Ridge project, we propose to designate the north side of our project as Mixed Residential and support a re-designation to Mixed Neighborhood upon adoption of ReImagine Reno that will ultimately allow for 8 – 15 units per acre. We propose to designate the area next to the existing apartments as Urban Residential Commercial and support a re-designation to Multi-family Neighborhood next to the existing apartment buildings upon a finding of conformance by the Regional Planning Commission. We envision a similar small lot single family residential development (possibly SF-4) next to the existing single-family homes to ensure compatibility. Note that the existing small lot single family development is zoned MF-4 while the existing multi-family homes are zoned MF-30. The Peavine Drain, a Major Drainage Way borders the Mountain View Cemetery. Currently, the Peavine Drain is part of the subject property (006-250-51) but we plan to submit a boundary line adjustment such that the Peavine Drain becomes a part of the main Mountain View Cemetery property (006-250-50). The Mountain View Cemetery has a current land use designation of Public Facility so the BLA will provide for a permanent buffer between the cemetery and what is planned to be a moderate to high density residential project. We are currently working to obtain boundary and topographic mapping to allow preparation of the BLA and a site plan to determine the appropriate zoning designations but envision a mix from SF-4, MF-14 of MF-21, and MF-30 to allow a variety of housing types with several ranges of affordability. West Fourth Street that adjoins the property will provide project access. 4th Street is a four-lane arterial with moderate access control that has existing striped bike lanes and RTC Ride bus stopes for Route 3. Route 3 is a seven day a week route that provide direct access to the RTC Centennial Plaza transfer station.

Page | 3

West 4th Street – Looking West towards Summit Ridge Drive West 4th Street has an average annual daily traffic (AADT) count of around 9,100 to 10,000 trips (page 425 of the attached NDOT count information in the attached Traffic Information section). Table 3-4 in the attached Traffic Information section shows that a 4-lane moderate access control arterial (per Table E-3 Regional Road System) operates at a Level of Service “B”. A Level of Service “C” is maintained up to a volume of 32,200 average daily trips. We anticipate that this project will generate in the range of under 4,000 average daily trips depending on the final land use mix. This assume a range of 80 to 100 single family homes, 60 – 90 townhomes and 250 to 300 apartment units. A traffic study is not warranted at this time as adequate capacity exist on the Regional Roadway network. A detailed traffic study will be submitted with a project when both capacity and access issues can be thoroughly analyzed. This project will not meet any of the thresholds to qualify as a project of regional significance. The property has been previously annexed into the City of Reno in 2010 per Annexation Tract Map 4954. We plan to soon submit a zone change as we are able to develop a detailed site plan to determine logical zoning boundaries. We are working on a full range of engineering studies to demonstrate that adequate capacity exists for all public utilities and to determine if a special use permit will be required for cuts and fills. We do not feel that the site will qualify as hillside development as the site has only moderate slopes just north of 4th Street. MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT FINDINGS AND CONSIDERATIONS

MASTER PLAN CONSIDERATIONS:

IN ORDER TO APPROVE A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT, THE CONSIDERATIONS AND FINDINGS LISTED BELOW MUST BE ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. ALL FINDINGS AND CONSIDERATIONS MUST BE ADDRESSED IN WRITTEN FORM AND IN WORD FORMAT WITH THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION, TO PROVIDE FACTS, EVIDENCE AND/OR THE BASIS BY WHICH THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL COULD USE IN THEIR DELIBERATIONS.

Page | 4

For the Planning Commission:

(a) Bears relation to the planning and physical development of the City; Response: The property in question is currently part of the Mountain View Cemetery. The change from burial to cremation has drastically changed the amount of future land needed for the cemetery. In addition, the infill location of the property and proximity to an under-utilized four lane moderate access control arterial only minutes from downtown Reno, McCarran Boulevard, and Interstate 80 makes this property ideal for development. The proximity to the highly successful Reno Vista Ridge Development, great views of the Sierra Mountains and having the Peavine Drain as a natural buffer between the property and I-80 along with the Mountain View Cemetery will make this an ideal place to live. The existing auto storage yard and aggregate processing facility can both be screened from view and are ripe for future development. Reno is planning on sanitary and storm sewer upgrades within the UPRR right-of-way just east of the property on 4th Street and a 42” TMWA water line and NV Energy electric lines lie within the 4th Street right-of-way to provide service to the property. Three fire stations that are located on Ralston, Kings Row, and Mayberry Drive are all within a five to eight-minute response time. Police service is readily available as is ambulance service and mail delivery. The 4th Street Corridor area has adequate traffic capacity with no needed capacity improvements identified within the short term Regional Transportation Commission Regional Transportation Plan. Thus, development of a mix of moderate to high density (such as SF-4 single family detached lots, townhomes, and apartment buildings) will provide much needed housing and help fill in the “missing middle” as identified in the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency, “Truckee Meadows Housing Study”, 2016.

o “There is a noticeable lack of higher density “Missing Middle” housing potential that can help fill the gap for workforce and lower-income households”.

(b) Is so prepared that it may be adopted by the City Council as a basis for the physical development of the City. Response: This master plan amendment application has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the City of Reno and in accordance with the goals and policies of the city. Adoption of the proposed master plan amendment will provide for orderly physical development of the property.

For the City Council:

(a) As may be applied practically to the physical development of the City for a reasonable period next ensuing will:

1. Serve as a pattern and guide for that kind of orderly physical growth and development of the City which will cause the least amount of natural resource impairment; Response: Development of this site with moderate to higher density housing will take advantage of available infrastructure, service, and resources in an area with available roadway capacity, sewer and storm drain infrastructure, water transmission lines, and high voltage electric lines. As noted in the 2016 Truckee

Page | 5

Meadows Housing Study, using infill opportunities to help provide the “missing middle” can help our community save hundreds of millions of dollars on expensive infrastructure improvements compared to continued suburban sprawl. 2. Conform to the adopted population plan and ensure an adequate supply of housing, including affordable housing; and Response: This will be achieved by providing the opportunity to provide higher density “Missing Middle” housing potential that can help fill the gap for workforce and lower-income households. 3. Form a basis for the efficient expenditure of funds relating to the subjects of the City of Reno Master Plan. Response: This infill parcel is already provided with the full range of city services. Development of moderate to higher density housing will allow for a more efficient allocation of city services.

Please provide an analysis of the following considerations in addition to the required considerations listed above:

1. There has been a change in the area or in the conditions on which the current designation was based which warrants the amendment; The change from burial to cremation has drastically changed the amount of future land needed for the cemetery, affording the opportunity to develop the property in question with much needed moderate to higher density housing that will take advantage of existing and readily available city services. The completion of the Chalk Bluff Water Treatment Facility and 42” water line on w. 4th Street, McCarran Boulevard, and the single point urban-interchange are all important improvements that have occurred in the past two decades to allow for the development of this property. 2. The density and intensity of the proposed Master Plan Amendment is sensitive to the existing land uses and is compatible with the existing adjacent land use designations; Response: Small lot detached single family residential homes can be developed next to the existing Reno Vista Ridge single family homes located on Sandyhill Lane off Sky Valley Drive. The area east of these Reno Vista Ridge homes is proposed for Mixed Residential with an ultimate designation of Mixed Neighborhood that will allow densities ranging from 8 – 15 units per acre. Higher density homes can be located east of the apartments to the west. The area east of these Reno Vista Ridge apartments is proposed for Urban Residential Commercial with an ultimate designation of Multi-Family Neighborhood that will allow densities ranging from 15 – 30 units per acre. A boundary line adjustment is proposed to move the existing west property line of the Mountain View Cemetery that runs along the Peavine Drain. We propose to move the property line such that the development boundary of this project will be the southwest top of slope of the Peavine Drain. This will provide for a natural buffer between the Mountain View Cemetery and this development.

3. The amendment will provide for orderly physical growth of the City, enhance the urban core and foster safe, convenient and walkable neighborhoods and shopping districts; Response: The proposed amendment will provide for orderly growth of the city by providing for much needed residential housing in a highly built up infill area with a full range of available infrastructure and services. There is a multitude of nearby shopping centers with convenient and close proximity to major employment centers. W. 4th Street is a major RTC bus route with seven day a week access to all parts of the community. The roughly 32.75 acres of developable land will provide for a walkable community. We plan to work with the Reno Vista Ridge homeowners associated to look at the potential for allowing shared pedestrian access through both sites that could become a great amenity for the entire area. Development of a mix of housing types on property located only a six-minute drive from the intersection of Virginia Street and 4th Street and only a five-minute drive to Wingfield Park will provide significant additional customers for local businesses and restaurants within the downtown area and our urban core. 4. There are or are planned to be adequate transportation, recreation, utility and other facilities to accommodate the uses and densities permitted by the proposed Master Plan designation; and Response: The project is in close proximity to the existing city park on Summit Ridge Drive, Idlewild Park, and Wingfield Park. West Fourth Street, an underutilized 4 lane moderate access control arterial street adjoins the property and McCarran at I-80 and Keystone at I-80 are only minute away. Route 3 of the Regional Transportation Commission's Citifare Bus System passes by the site on West Fourth Street. Route 3 connects with the RTC Centennial Plaza bus transfer facility on 4th Street. 5. The proposed change is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies of the Master Plan and other adopted plans and policies. Response: The proposed land use change is in conformance with the following goals and policies of the Reno Master Plan. Goals

• Provide for maximum efficiency and effectiveness in delivery of City services.

• Provide effective municipal services, provide for safety and maintain a sound infrastructure through a well-planned and responsive customer oriented delivery system.

• Plan growth which is sensitive to the environment and recognizes significant community resources.

• Encourage an economic base which provides for long term economic health and improved quality of life.

POLICIES

C&R-5: The City should pursue a growth pattern which is fiscally responsible in order to maintain and possibly improve existing levels of service for current residents and future generations.

Page | 7

C&R-7 The City should work with area service providers to ensure that the water supply, water treatment and distribution capacity, sewage treatment and road network is capable of serving present and future demand within the city.

OS-19 The City should encourage citizen advocacy for open spaces and greenways.

GI-4 The City should consider offering development incentives to encourage new development projects in areas with existing streets, sewer lines and fire stations with priority given to areas within center and corridor plan areas.

GI-14 Maximum use of existing public facilities and services should be supported through encouraging new development to occur at higher densities, when appropriate, and through the development of vacant and underutilized land with particular emphasis in the center and corridor plan areas.

T-11 The City should encourage businesses and new land development which are substantial generators or attractors of traffic to implement programs to reduce trips and/or mitigate air quality impacts.

P-1 Site access and circulation should be safe, convenient, logical and minimize impacts onto adjoining roads.

F-2 The City should strive for a four-minute response time to 75% of the City, and not exceed a six-minute response time for any area of the City without mitigation.

CD-15 The City should encourage the clustering of services in locations convenient to neighboring residential areas in order to promote fewer vehicle trips.

CD-16 The City should encourage the development of attractive landscaping and green spaces in close proximity to center and corridor plan areas and along arterial streets.

BD-1 Development density, building mass, and architectural details should be sensitive to the context, scale and texture of surrounding development patterns and structures (This will be achieved with a mix of appropriate housing types next to Reno vista Ridge along with a boundary line adjustment to preserve the Peavine Drain area).

SD-13 The City should encourage the retention of natural features of hillsides by requiring any grading to achieve an undulating, natural appearance, and require densities to decrease as slope increases (This is achieved as the adjoining Peavine Drain will remain as a Public Facility).

NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY BOARD The project lies in Ward 1, Councilwoman Jenny Brekhus’s ward. We look forward to presenting the project and abandonment request to the next available Ward 1 meeting. CONCLUSION This location of this project can take full advantage of available city and public and private utility resources, services, and infrastructure. The Peavine Drain will be protected and avoid development in steep slope and major drainage areas. The proximity to West Fourth street, an underutilized 4-lane moderate access control arterial that has existing bike lanes will ensure safe and adequate access for vehicles and bicyclists. Existing bus stops on West 4th Street for Route 3 on RTC Ride’s bus system will provide convenient access for transit riders.

Page | 8

But most important, in our current economic boom period, this project will provide for much needed moderate to higher density housing to help fill in the “missing middle”.

We greatly appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Sincerely,

Kenneth Krater, P.E.

1 On-street parking shall not be allowed on any new arterials. Elimination of existing on-street parking shall be considered a priority for major and minor arterials operating at or below the policy level of service.

2 Minimum signal spacing is for planning purposes only; additional analysis must be made of proposed new signals in the context of existing conditions, planned signalized intersections, and other relevant factors impacting corridor level of service.

3 Minimum spacing from signalized intersection/spacing from other driveways. 4 If there are more than 30 inbound, right-turn movements during the peak-hour. 5 If there are more than 60 inbound, right-turn movements during the peak-hour. 6 Minimum spacing on collectors.

RTC is involved in a dialog with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Washoe County, City of Reno, and City of Sparks regarding differences in agency access management standards throughout the region. NDOT anticipates initiating a revision of their access management standards in 2013. RTC and the partner jurisdictions will participate in this effort to bring more consistency to access management standards. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is currently revising its 2003 Access Management Manual. New standards from TRB will be incorporated into this regional dialog. The regional road system shown in Table E-3 includes roadway limits, functional class and the access management class as described in Table E-2. The criteria for determining the regional road system includes:

Arterials that are direct connections between freeways and other arterials, insure continuity throughout the region and generally accommodate longer trips within the region, especially in the peak periods on high traffic volume corridors. Collectors that meet one of several criteria including: an ADT level of 5,000 (either currently or in the 2035 time frame); crossing of a significant travel barrier such as the Truckee River, I-80, US 395/I-580; provides access to major existing or future regional facilities. An industrial roadway A roadway including a transit route
