the proposed independent senior housing building meets ordinance and performance standard requirements unless otherwise noted. Setbacks The R-4, High Density Residential District zoning requirements apply to this project. The Site Plan Review Worksheet details setback requirements. The principal building 30 ft. setback is met along the Chestnut Street front lot line. The 20 ft. north and south side yard setbacks are also met. Staff notes the detached garage is not allowed in the front yard along Chestnut Street and would need to be relocated or removed. PUD Flexibility The required building setback along an arterial street (I-35E) is 40 ft. The applicant is requesting PUD flexibility to reduce this setback from 40 ft. to 20 ft. to allow for the proposed building footprint and development of the courtyard amenities. The building will be 120 ft. from the centerline of the southbound lane of I-35E and 330 ft. from the nearest house in NorthPointe. Shifting the building east also provides additional separation from the NorthPointe single family detached homes.
