The proposed access drive meets the minimum five (5) foot setback from the property <br />line. In addition, the proposed access drive is 24 feet wide. This additional width is needed to <br />accommodate vehicles making pickups and deliveries at the loading docks (Attachment C - Pg. <br />C402). As a condition of approval, in the event where noise from the loading and delivery area is <br />audible from an adjacent residential district, the activity shall terminate between the hours of 6:00 <br />p.m. and 6:00 a.m. <br /> <br />C. Building Height - Flexibility requested <br />Section 1305.04 of the City Code defines building height as “the vertical distance from the average <br />elevation of the grade along a face of a building to the highest point of the roof surface of flat <br />roofs, the deck line of mansard roofs, or the average height between the eaves and the highest ridge <br />of gable, hip, or gambrel roofs.” These measurements are illustrated in the drawing below. <br /> <br /> <br />The Applicant is proposing a building that would be four (4) stories in height with a pitched roof <br />design. The proposed pitched roof provides residents with a home-like residential aesthetic, where <br />as a flat roof provides an institutional look and feel. The proposed facility would have a building <br />height of 55 feet as measured from the finished floor elevation to the midpoint. Under the City <br />Zoning Code, a building in the B-2 district can have a maximum height of up to 50 feet to the <br />midpoint, so the Applicants are requesting flexibility for an additional 5 feet in height. <br /> <br /> <br /> The table below shows building heights for other developments in the community. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />*Not including penthouse and cellular equipment <br />Development Name Mid-Point <br />Summit Development 46 ft. <br />Johanna Shores Senior Living 56 ft. <br />E Street Flats 44 ft. <br />Arden Flats Apartments 55 ft. <br />Anderson Center 60 ft.*
