1. Curvilinear Streets. To a reasonable extent, side streets not contained within the City’s Master Street Plan shall be designed in a curvilinear fashion. Long, straight roadways are discouraged.

2. Parks and open space. Any R3 subdivision shall provide the equivalent of 4-acres of public park space per 1000 residents. Residents per household shall be determined according to the most recent U.S. Census Data for Lindon City. Retirement units shall be counted as having two (2) person per household. One public park area shall be a minimum of two (2) contiguous acres, which may require a combined effort to reserve this space should multiple developments occur within the overlay area. The minimum size for public park area is 0.5 contiguous acres (1/2 acre). Open space or common areas smaller than 0.5 acres and not dedicated a ‘public park space’ will not count towards meeting the park acreage requirement, except pathway corridors connecting cul-de-sacs or adjacent streets may be counted towards the park space requirement and are exempt from the 0.5 acre minimum. Public access may not be denied to dedicated public park spaces within a retirement development. The City shall entertain possible waivers of park impact fees, waive park improvement requirements, or determine other methods of compensation for dedication of public park spaces within this development area. Under the direction and final approval of the City Council, DRC staff will negotiate any compensation terms for park dedication.

3. Retirement/Senior housing element. Any application for a subdivision shall provide approximately 10% of the buildable area as retirement community housing, but in no case shall the total number of retirement units in the entire R3 Overlay exceed fifty (50) units or cover more than nine (9) contiguous acres. The portion of retirement housing within any R3 development may be recorded as a separate plat, but must be reviewed, approved and recorded simultaneously with the single-family lots in other areas of the property being developed. The retirement housing shall be detached single-family style buildings, or twin-homes, and may be constructed as part of a home-owners association or designed with common areas around the dwellings. Each unit shall be on an individual 5,000 square foot lot. Twin-homes may have common walls that are centered on a ‘zero lot line.’

4. Pathways and Trails. Pathways connecting neighboring streets and connection of any development to regional trails is strongly encouraged in any design. When feasible with the design layout, a subdivision shall provide paved pathways connecting cul-de-sacs to through streets or connecting to other adjacent cul-de-sacs. If the length of a roadway exceeds eight hundred feet (800') between any connecting streets, a pathway shall be provided between the connecting streets to allow access to neighboring roadways. All pathways shall be within a minimum twenty-foot (20') corridor with a ten-foot (10') paved path that is centered or meandering in the corridor. Sides of the pathway within the corridor shall be landscaped and irrigated with an underground sprinkler system to meet the landscape and design requirements of Chapter 17.19. Pathway grades/slope, ADA access, and other design principles shall be approved by the city engineer upon review of the subdivision plan.

5. Moderate Income Housing. All applications for a subdivision shall provide the following minimum number of homes as “moderate income housing” as defined by Utah State Code (10-9-307(2)(a)); At the time of first sale of the home to the “intended resident”, at least twenty percent (20%) of the home sales on the 10,000 square foot lots shall be within the moderate income range, and thirty percent (30%) of the retirement housing shall be within this range. The term “sale” is interpreted as the final cost of the home at the time of closing. The sale of additional units at or below the moderate income level is encouraged. An application shall provide documentation showing that each dwelling unit proposed as moderate income housing will meet the definition as per Utah State Code.

6. Compliance with Lindon City Code. Any proposal in the R3 Overlay Zone shall comply with the requirements of this Chapter and all other applicable Lindon City Code divisions. (Ord. 2023-1 §1, amended, 2023)
