removal. Affordable housing and LEED building design are two reasons, listed in the Zoning Code, for the City Council to allow reduced tree mitigation if required. J. Parking. 1. Placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building shall be discouraged. Unknown. This would be determined with the submission of a detailed site plan. Approximately 110 parking spots are anticipated to be part of the plan, and half of those would be under the building according to Sand Companies. 2. No more than fifty percent (50%) of the parking on a site may be between buildings or in the side yards. Unknown. Due to the underground parking it is likely that this requirement would be met. 3. Sufficient parking shall be provided to accommodate the reasonable hourly peak on a given site. Shared parking is encouraged to reduce land devoted to parking. Hourly variations among different types of land use may be considered when estimated parking demands. This requirement would be met. 4. Plantings shall be used to soften and shade parking lots and parking structures. Parking and service areas shall be visually screened from street views with plantings and architectural treatments. Unknown. Landscaping and site plans were not submitted for this stage of review. 5. Parking lot islands shall be used to distribute large parking fields into separate "outdoor" rooms that have visual relationship to the buildings they serve. Parking lot islands shall be planted with trees or include infiltration basins and plantings. Entry drives shall be defined by trees and shrubs. Unknown. Landscaping and site plans were not submitted for this stage of review. 6. A concrete curb shall be provided around the periphery of all parking lots and access roads, except where the City Engineer determines that a curb would impede drainage. This requirement would be met. Page 6 of 9
