Site Plan The site plan application is for the three story approximately 80,000 square foot apartment building including underground parking. The foot print of the building is 20,616 square feet. The building is located in the middle of the site and the parking lot is on the south side of the building. The access to the site is proposed from Rosemary Way. Building Setbacks The R-5 zoning district requires a 25 -foot front and rear yard setback and a 15 -foot side yard setback. The site plan complies with the setback requirements. Building Height The R-5 zoning district has a maximum building height of 35 feet. They are proposing the height of the building to be 38.5 feet, where 35 feet is required by ordinance therefore a variance is required. The developer has not applied for a variance. Staff has added as a condition of approval that prior to the issuance of a building permit the developer shall lower the height of the building to 35 feet or apply for approval of a variance.
