O Affordable Housing Component 20% of the 261, or 52, apartment homes will be affordable to individuals at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI)published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). Detailed below is a chart published by HUD that describe the maximum income limit based on the household size and the maximum rent based upon the size of the apartment allowable for apartments restricted to 50% of the AMI. Household Size Income Limit 1 Person $26,850 2 Person 30,700 3 Person 34,500 4 Person 38,350 5 Person 41,400 Apartment Size Rent Limit Studio $671 1 Bedroom 719 2 Bedrooms 862 3 Bedrooms 996 These affordable apartment homes will be in both the general occupancy and senior components. Building Shape and Placement The building proposed has a horizontal "S" shape layout arranged with the long dimension running in the east-west direction. The concept of this design is to architecturally and aesthetically engage the new"Central Park", which is a common element for the entire redevelopment, with this project's common plaza spaces(one of the"coves" of the S shape facing north)creating an even larger open park-like space. The other"cove"of the S (south facing) is used as an area for surface parking which, is essentially at the rear of railroad side of the building. There is a "drive-through" element at the south end of Apache Lane that will allow vehicular traffic to pass"through" the building at the 1st and 2"d levels to easily access the surface parking on the south side of the building. The entire building is a four-story structure with another level of underground heated parking. There is a one and a half level common area party room/leasing office which is located in the courtyard facing Central Park and is attached to the main housing building. Exterior Materials The exterior elevation of the four-story housing integrates the design appearance of the classic"row- house" theme, which is intended to embrace the overall "urban"feel of Silver Lake Village. Instead of traditional horizontal layering of different materials,the developer has elected to provide strong vertical elements on all surfaces, changing materials from brick(possibly two colors)on the projecting bay elements to colored, smooth"stucco-like" surface panels and other siding on the vertical recessed deck elements, again simulating the row-house look. All exterior materials are chosen to be complimentary to the surrounding new retail and condominium housing components. The primary roof will be sloping with architectural fiberglass/asphalt roof shingles. Pre-finished, colored, architectural metal roofing in standing seam fashion will be used to ornament the key focus points of the project including the club house, the top of the drive-through element and the north east end of the building which overlooks the central park. Window frames will be all white.
