The applicants have indicated that traffic from the Comforts of Home building residents will be lower than that of a standard multi-family housing facility as elderly residents are expected to make fewer trips to and from the facility than residents who occupy standards multi-family buildings. They also state that traffic from visitors is not expected to be concentrated at any particular times of the day. The applicant should provide a basis supporting the proposed number of parking stalls such as requirements from other projects they or others have completed, other cities or specific studies for consideration. In addition, the possible future uses of the building should also be taken into account when calculating the number of needed parking stalls. At its proposed use as a senior assisted living facility, it may not require as many parking stalls, but the building could be converted to a standard multi-family housing facility in the future, in which more parking stalls would be needed. The possibility of limiting the use of this building to senior, assisted-living should be taken into account when reviewing this application. CONCLUSION For concept stage PUD, planning staff can recommend approval subject to the issues raised in this report. For many of these, there is a need for more substantive information in order to fully endorse the project. This will include the required engineering plans that will define the impacts and infrastructure services on the site. The following is a list of materials to be submitted and/or conditions to be met in order to proceed to the Development Stage of the PUD application process: 1) Landscaping Plan, with a detailed planting list with sizes and species; Grading and Drainage Plan indicating changes to existing topography and natural site vegetation; Utilities Plan; and Architectural plans indicating use, floor plan, elevations, and exterior wall finishes of proposed buildings. 2) Detailed written statement regarding the deficit in parking. The applicant should provide a basis supporting the proposed number of parking stalls such as requirements from other projects they or others have completed, other cities or specific studies for consideration. They may also wish to address the limited use of the assisted living facility in the future. 3) If the PUD is to be constructed in stages, a schedule for the development of such stages and the proportion of the PUD to be constructed during each stage and the overall chronology of the development from stage to stage shall be submitted. 4) If the PUD includes provisions for public or common open space or service facilities, a statement describing the provision that is to be made for the care and maintenance of such open space or service facilities shall be submitted. 5) Any restrictive covenants that are to be recorded with respect to the property shall be submitted. 4
