Memo to City Council PlaIlllillg Case 1101-22. AtJ"Il SVUtll Ap,"tuH'll," Page 6 ofll ----e- Since a majority of the trees proposed in the landscape plan are at least 3 caliper inches, and the applicant has exceeded the code requirement by 43 caliper inches, or 20%, no changes from staff are suggested at this time. 5. Height - Slightly Exceeds Code Requirement The maximum height allowed for a business is the R-4 District is 35 feet. The proposed elevations show a building height of35 feet when measured from the first floor. When measured from the parking garage, the building has a height of 45 feet. When situations such as this arise, the Building Code specifies that the average of the two be taken. This interpretation results in a height of 40 feet, or 5 feet in excess ofthe code requirement. As stated previously, a deviation from the code requirement is permissible in the PUD process. 6. Parking. - Meets Code Requirement The Zoning Ordinance requires 2 spaces per dwelling unit. With 30 units of housing being proposed, it would be necessary to provide 60 spaces to meet the code requirement. However, since Bethel will initially be using the building for dormitory style housing, staff suggested that 3 spaces be provided for every four students. This would result in the following number of required parking spaces: e Recommended Parkin!! Unit Type Number Number Number of Students Recommended Parking Stalls of Units ofBR (2 Per Room) (3 for every 4 students) 2 Bedroom 21 42 84 63 3 Bedroom 9 27 54 40 Adiustrnent* -1 -3 -6 -4 TOTAL: 30 69 138 99 'One of the three unit rooms will be used as a laundry/community room while Bethel occupies the building. One of the 2 bedroom units would also be occupied by a caretaker which was not factored into the above analysis. At this point, the applicant is proposing 36 stalls of underground parking and 51 stalls of surface parking, for a total of 87 stalls, or 12 less than the recommended. Note that the laundry/community room on the "Garage Floor Plan" will be replaced with two parking stalls. While the amount proposed by the applicant is less than staff requested, it is in excess of the code requirement. Additionally, the applicant has agreed to institute a permit system if parking is not satisfactory to the City at some point in the future. This would also be a component of Bethel's lease. The following table summarizes the provision of parking on the site: e 6
