September 8, 2020 Page 9 For such developments, a parking requirement equal to one parking space per .9 bedrooms can predict actual parking demand. As previously indicated, the total number of bedrooms in the proposed apartment building is 46, which results in a ratio of 1.2 spaces per bedroom, which should be adequate to serve the project. The applicant is cautioned that overflow parking would likely need to be accommodated on its companion property to the south if needed, as on-street parking can be tightly limited in the area. Covered (Enclosed) Parking. According to the Ordinance, apartments must provide two off-street spaces per unit, one of which is enclosed. The applicant has requested flexibility from the covered (enclosed) parking requirement via the PUD in order all surface parking stalls, none of which are to be covered/enclosed. According to the applicant, the limited size of the subject site (0.85 acres), coupled with a desire to provide units which are affordable to the majority of residents in the area, make the construction of enclosed parking spaces not financially feasible. As a condition of preliminary plan PUD approval, City Officials should make a determination that the proposed surface parking stalls (uncovered) are acceptable. Dimensional Requirements. According to the Ordinance, off-street parking spaces must measure not less than 9 feet in width and 19 feet in depth. Appropriately, all surface parking stalls and drive aisles meet the minimum dimensional requirements of the Ordinance. Disabled Parking. According to the American Disability Act, required accessible spaces (for persons with disabilities) varies by the number of spaces in a parking lot. For parking lots which provide 26 to 50 spaces, two spaces must be devoted to use by disabled persons. Appropriately, two spaces are proposed which are to be devoted to use by persons with disabilities. Building Height. While the PUD zoning district does not impose a specific height requirement and can provide for “flexibility” in this regard, it is important to note that the City’ R-4, Multiple Family Residential District imposes a maximum height requirement of 3 stories or 35 feet. The proposed apartment building measures 34 feet in height which meets the maximum height requirement imposed in the R-4 zoning district. Impervious Surface Coverage. The R-4 zoning district imposes a maximum impervious surface coverage requirement of 50 percent of the area of the site. According to the submitted site plan, 76.7 percent of the subject site (0.65 acres) is to be impervious. Via the 43
