The Site Specific Development-Residential- Taylor Villas District (SSD-R-Taylor Villas) is established to promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the community by facilitating the creation of a residential community that is complementary and compatible with its setting. It is the purpose of this section to encourage quality design and development of land in a manner that suits the unique needs of the property and contributes to orderly traffic circulation and compatibility with surrounding buildings and land uses. All new development within the SSD-R-Taylor Villas Zoning District shall be in conformity with this title.

Specifically, this zone intends to:

   A.   Enhance and protect the quality of life and community image of the City of

      Taylorsville through clearly articulated development design policies and standards;

   B.   Protect and promote Taylorsville’s long-term economic viability through design standards which encourage and reward high quality development and discourage less attractive and less enduring alternatives;

   C.   Minimize adverse impacts of vehicular circulation and parking to existing neighborhoods and to the surrounding physical environment;

   D.   Enhance and protect the security, health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Taylorsville; and

   E.   Facilitate an understanding of the City’s expectations and notify and assist developers in compiling complete and efficient applications. (Ord. 25-02, 1-22-2025)

The provisions in this chapter shall apply to existing development, new development, redevelopment, exterior remodels, additions to existing structures, signs, and accessory structures within the SSD-R-Taylor Villas Zoning District. This chapter includes development standards and will be used by City staff and, if applicable, the Planning Commission to review development applications. The policies established in these provisions shall be met through actual compliance with each design standard.

   C.   Table Of Uses: All uses not included in the table below shall be deemed not permitted.

P = Permitted

NC = Non administrative conditional use

AC = Administrative conditional use

N = Not permitted

 

   A.   Purpose And Intent: Architectural design seeks to add to community character while providing flexibility to avoid rigid uniformity of design. All elements including the scale and mass of buildings, materials, color, roof styles, door and window openings, and details should be responsive to functional architectural design and promote a cohesive design statement. Building masses shall respond to “human scale” with materials and details that are proportionate to human height and provide visual interest at the street and sidewalk level.

    B.   Single-Family Attached (townhomes): Architectural design, building massing, roof forms, color, materials, orientation, and fenestration for single-family attached dwellings (townhomes) shall be consistent with or reasonably similar to the designs and features shown in Section 13.44.120, figure 2A, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Architectural Design,” of this chapter. For the four (4) end units (outer units) identified in Section 13.44.120, figure 3C, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Site Plan - Product Location,” of this chapter, the exterior elements on the sides of those single-family attached units (calculated for each building façade) shall be comprised of no more than fifty percent (50%) stucco finish, and shall have at least twenty percent (20%) brick/stone coverage and at least thirty percent (30%) Hardie (or similar product) coverage. Developer reserves the right to determine, on a lot by lot basis, whether to include a basement with the dwelling constructed on each lot.

   C.   Single-Family Detached: Architectural design, building massing, roof forms, color, materials, orientation, and fenestration for single-family detached dwellings shall be consistent with or reasonably similar to the designs and features shown in Section 13.44.120, figure 2C, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Architectural Design - Single Family Detached Homes,” of this chapter. No single family detached home shall have the same elevation style as any other home on the same row (block face) of single family detached homes. Developer reserves the right to determine, on a lot by lot basis, whether to include a basement with the dwelling constructed on each lot.

   E.   Mechanical Units: Roof-mounted mechanical units (including evaporative coolers, HVAC units, vents, etc.) shall be located or screened so they are not visible from adjacent public and/or private streets as well as from adjacent properties.

   F.   Solar: Buildings may be designed and sited to maximize the use of solar gain for energy savings, and shall respect the solar access requirements of adjacent (existing and proposed) buildings. Solar equipment is permitted subject to the standards set forth in section 13.11.200 of this title. (Ord. 25-02, 1-22-2025)

   A.   Purpose And Intent: Buildings shall be located to maximize the presentation of streetscaping, to provide clear orientation and access for both vehicles and pedestrians, to facilitate internal

      pedestrian circulation, and to place structures in consideration of the existing built context, the location of adjoining uses, and the location of roads.

   B.   Product Mix: Lots for single-family detached houses shall be located along the southern and eastern sides of the development next to existing single family homes in the surrounding neighborhood. Single-family attached dwelling units are allowed in the rest of the development consistent with section 13.44.120, figure 3, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Site Plan,” of this chapter.

   C.   Locations: All building locations, building orientation, roadways, driveways, pedestrian ways, park spaces, landscape areas, vehicular parking areas, dumpster locations, and sign locations, shall be consistent with section 13.44.120, figure 3, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Site Plan,” of this chapter.

   D.   Stormwater: Stormwater detention/ retention areas shall either be landscaped or be located beneath improved surfaces (such as the parking area in the southeastern area of the Development) .

   B.   Site Grading And Excavation: Buildings shall be designed to relate to adjacent grade conditions. Site grading designs shall allow for easy pedestrian access from sidewalks, pathways, trails, and parking areas. (Ord. 25-02, 1-22-2025)

   A.   Purpose And Intent: The on-site vehicular circulation and parking system is deemed a critical factor in the safety and success of any development. The parking/access/circulation systems provide for the safe, efficient, convenient, and functional movement of multiple modes of transportation both on and off the site where pedestrian/bicycle/vehicle conflicts are minimized.

   B.   Vehicular Access: Roadway location and widths shall be consistent with section 13.44.120, figure 3, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Site Plan,” of this chapter. Roadways within the site will be private, not public, and will be maintained by a management company or homeowners association.

Individual lots shall be integrated with adjacent properties designed to form a comprehensive system and to provide convenient access to public rights- of-way. Pedestrian spaces and routes shall be designed to invite walking throughout the development. Routes shall be integrated to form a comprehensive circulation system, providing convenient, safe and visually attractive access to all destinations on the site consistent with section 13.44.120, figure 3, “SSD-R-Taylor Villas Site Plan,” of this chapter. (Ord. 25-02, 1-22-2025)
