west of the location shown in the approved preliminary plan. Its lot coverage is <br /> very close to that shown in the preliminary plan. <br /> Building Appearance—The height of the building (52 feet—four stories) has <br /> remained the same. It's exterior appearance is also basically the same. The <br /> design details now include brick and cement board and dryvit (stucco like) surface <br /> panels. The designers are trying to simulate a row-house look rather than a <br /> traditional apartment building. The exterior materials are intended to be <br /> complimentary to the commercial developments in the PUD. <br /> The roof will be a sloping, peaked type roof. It will be clad with <br /> fiberglass/asphalt shingles. Architectural metals will be used as roof accents. <br /> Building Density—The number of apartment units has increased from 220 to 261 <br /> (18%). <br /> Types of Units—Seventy-nine units will be reserved for senior citizens. The <br /> senior citizen units will be located together in the west wing of the building. The <br /> first floor will have a few entries to two story units. The fourth floor will have <br /> loft style units. <br /> Affordability—Twenty percent of the units in the building (52 units) will be <br /> affordable to individuals or households that have incomes below 50% of the Area <br /> Median Income (AM]). The affordable units will be distributed throughout the <br /> building. <br /> Parking Spaces—The number of parking spaces is projected to be 444. The <br /> zoning ordinance would normally require 520 spaces. The number of <br /> underground spaces is 210—240 would normally be required underground. There <br /> are seven handicapped accessible spaces outside and six similar spaces in the <br /> underground garage. <br /> Site Plan and Landscaping—The site plan shows the location of buildings, <br /> setbacks, landscaping, driveways, and parking locations. Driveway aisles, <br /> parking stalls, and setbacks meet zoning code standards. However, the driveway <br /> and parking area along the west side of the development is only 2.5 feet away <br /> from the west property line. <br /> Planner's Analysis and Comments <br /> A PUD allows flexibility because of the large nature of the use. Some flexibility from <br /> normal city requirements is needed in order to approve this development. <br /> Parking -The number of parking stalls appears to be the biggest issue. The <br /> developer proposes 444 spaces. Normally, 520 spaces would be required. <br /> Seventy nine units will be reserved for seniors. Many other units in the building <br />
