The focus of these competitions is the score sheets (not the sketch plan) submitted by each applicant. Each item agreed to on the score sheets will be required as part of the project if awarded Service Commitments whether or not these are shown on the sketch plan submitted for the competition. It is inevitable that changes to the winning projects will be necessary once the development review process begins. This includes, but is not limited to, the allowable residential density, square footage, lot sizes, setbacks, and design of the project.
COMPETITION SCORE SHEETS
The competition score sheets are designed to allow City Staff to objectively compare all projects submitted for the competitions (with the exception of TMUND projects, which are reviewed by a Design Jury) against the standards established in the City Council resolution adopting the new residential award criteria. These score sheets specify each of the minimum requirements as well as all “incentive” items. No points are given for the minimum requirements listed. Points are received by committing to incentive items as designated on the forms. Space is given on the forms for the applicant to check off each minimum requirement listed and to designate the amount of points the project will receive by providing incentives. All minimum requirements must be met in order for a project to be eligible for the competition.
Each sheet has one column for applicant scoring (“Project”) and another column for City scoring which will be completed by City Staff once the completed application packet is submitted. The total number of points will be used to determine which project(s) will be recommended to receive Service Commitments from the competition. These score sheets were designed to simplify the information and for ease in calculating the total number of points scored by each project. Please note, however, that the score sheets do not include all of the information in the design regulations documents, and the applicant is also responsible for knowing all of the information included in the Design Guidelines and regulations within the application packet.
