DESCRIPTION:
10’ (sb)
The site is located along the west side of Sunset Strip between NW 15th Street and NW 16th Street, currently the site is vacant. This site is surrounded by RS-5 Residential Single Family (5 DU/AC). This site is ¼ mile from the Sunrise Golf Village Park (plaza and neighborhood commercial), ½ mile from Sunrise Boulevard (major commercial corridor), and 1 mile from the Village Center (parks, school, civic, businesses). This site is strategically important as an opportunity to introduce visible new housing styles more responsive to current market conditions in ways that take advantage of the walkability of east Sunrise. In addition, the suggested small retail spaces below townhomes embrace the existing entrepreneurial culture of the neighborhood and encourages micro-business and small business development as a way to grow household wealth and prosperity. The added density and inclusion of commercial spaces is required to provide financial feasibility for private investment and development. It also helps improve housing affordability by using the commercial rents to support the housing costs for each family. The site design carefully includes setbacks from existing single-family properties using a perimeter driveway, and a Form Based Code is suggested to further setback the taller parts of each structure from those single-family homes. In addition, significant open and community spaces have been included to enhance informal social interaction, community building, and the anticipated small business activities. This includes wider landscaping buffers from Sunset Strip, a community pool, and a dog park. Extra visitor parking is included to support the small business enterprises.
