<br />Page 7 of 14 <br /> <br />LOT SIZE & DENSITY <br />Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District allows for <br />a maximum lot size of 3,030 sf per dwelling unit. The subject property is approximately 10.24 acres, or <br />446,054 sf. 446,054 sf / 3,030 sf = 125 maximum units. The Developer is proposing 115-125 units. <br />Developer is not aware of any required deviation to City Zoning Code for lot size and density. <br /> <br /> NOTE: this site is also encumbered by the City’s Shoreland Overlay District. Said district requires a <br /> minimum lot size of 40,000 sf. It is the Developers interpretation that this proposed project complies <br /> with said section of City Zoning Code (lot is 446,054 sf). <br /> <br /> <br />FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) <br />Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District allows for <br />a maximum FAR of 0.3. The proposed building footprint is approximately 54,200 sf and includes three floors <br />of dwelling/habitable space, for an approximate total of 162,600 sf (note: garage not included in calculation). <br />162,600 sf of dwelling/habitable space / 446,054 sf total lot size = .3645 FAR. Developer believes a deviation <br />to City Zoning Code for maximum FAR is required. <br /> <br />NOTE: if providing flexibility to this requirement is not available to the Developer, alternative <br /> solutions to meet this requirement will be explored. Examples include a combination of expanding <br /> the size of the parcel the Developer is purchasing from the church and/or reducing the size of <br /> proposed apartment building footprint. <br /> <br /> <br />BUILDING & IMPERVIOUS SURFACE LOT COVERAGE <br />Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District allows for <br />a maximum building lot coverage of 25%. The proposed building footprint is approximately 54,200 sf. 54,200 <br />sf building footprint / 446,054 sf total lot size = 12.15% building lot coverage. Developer believes a deviation <br />to City Zoning Code for maximum building lot coverage is not required. <br /> <br /> NOTE: this site is also encumbered by the City’s Shoreland Overlay District. Said district requires a <br /> maximum impervious surface coverage of 35%. It is the Developers interpretation that this proposed <br /> project complies with said section of City Zoning Code (project will include approximately 25-35% <br /> impervious surface). <br /> <br /> <br />LANDSCAPING LOT COVERAGE <br />Based on Developer’s review and interpretation of City Zoning Code, the R4 Multiple Family District requires <br />a minimum landscaping coverage of 65%. The subject property is approximately 10.24 acres in gross size. <br />About half of the property is physically buildable (the remaining portions include wetlands, drainage, <br />lowlands, steep slopes, or are inaccessible). Assuming this requirement is based on areas that are buildable, <br />the Developer does not believe a deviation to City Zoning Code for minimum landscaping coverage is <br />required. <br /> <br />NOTE: this site is also encumbered by the City’s Shoreland Overlay District. Said district requires <br /> Developer generally dedicate a portion of property for public open space. Developer will need <br /> assistance from City staff to further define this requirement. Developer anticipates sufficient <br /> opportunity exists to provide open space to the public (assumption: public trail within wetlands <br /> areas).
