Frenchman Place 51 Addition Page 11 The developer is proposing to satisfy the parking requirements with a combination of parking lot and garage parking. According to the Section 90-253 PARKING of the City Code, based on the use and the size of the building the total number of parking spaces required is 205. The developer is proposing 201 parking spaces. The developer will need to add 4 additional parking spots to the plan. This is a conditional of approval. The developer is proposing parking on the north side of the building and within attached and detached garage areas. As noted in the Multi-Family Development Design Guidelines, garages should remain open for vehicle parking and the apartment contracts should include language to this effect. The vehicle circulation within the parking lot works well. Landscaping Section 90-181 of the Zoning Ordinance provides landscaping requirements for developments. The site plan includes tree and shrub locations and species. In order to meet the landscape requirements, 93 overstory deciduous trees, 93 coniferous trees, 46 ornamental trees, and 101 shrubs are required to be installed. The developer is proposing 42 overstory deciduous trees, 56 coniferous trees, 37 ornamental trees, and 315 shrubs. The developer needs additional trees on the plan to meet the ordinance requirements. The developer shall revise the landscape plan to comply with the following: 1. The landscape plan shall be revised for review and approval by staff to include the following: a. The required amount of landscaping per City Code Section 90-181. b. Include foundation landscaping behind the garages for the apartments. c. Screen the trash enclosure on all sides with evergreens. d. Landscaping shall be added to screen any ground mounted mechanical equipment. Staff will continue to work with the developer on revisions to the landscape plan. The developer is proposing the ground cover to be seeded with grass and the property will be irrigated. Lighting The ordinance requires lighting to consist of cut-off fixtures. Light cast on adjacent property and roads is not to exceed 1/2 foot candle measured at the property line or 1 foot candle measured at the street's centerline. The developer has not provided examples of cut sheet for the lights. Shields will be required on the proposed lights to reduce glare. Staff recommends adding decorative lighting to the walls of the building. Prior to the installation, the pole and wall mounted fixtures will need to be reviewed and approved by staff.
