April 15, 2025 Page 2 second alternative offered to the applicant was to treat the Commission’s action as a recommendation for denial if they wished to proceed to the City Council without making the suggested changes. The applicant has since provided updated plans and applied for a third variance, this one to the standard maximum impervious surface based on an expansion of the parking lot. Other site plan amendments have been added, which are discussed below. The supplemental or modified staff comments are italicized to distinguish from original report commentary.

Plan Modifications The applicant proposes to develop a 34-unit multi-family assisted living project on the subject property on Foss Road as shown on the zoning map section on the next page. As noted above, the original application was for the required Conditional Use Permit for a multi-family residential facility of between 20 and 40 units per acre. The original application also included two variance requests, one for a reduced side yard setback to the south property line, and one for a reduced parking count, consisting of surface, rather than underground/under-building parking. The applicant has revised the application following the initial Planning Commission public with a series of modifications to the plans, one of which has resulted in a request for a third variance to accommodate an expansion of the allowable impervious surface on the site to approximately 54.3%, beyond the standard allowance of 50% in the R-4, Multi-family Residential zoning district. Plan modifications include the following: • Addition of 5 parking spaces, increasing the supply from 11 to 16 total parking spaces. • Request for a variance to the impervious surface standard as noted above, for the increased parking area. • Modification to the building façade along the south side, as recommended by staff. - Gable in roofline to break up roof plane. - Addition of stone wainscot to the south and west façades. • Shifting the trash enclosure to the east, and adding a roof cover to screen the view of the trash dumpsters within the enclosure from adjoining residential units.
