5.12 overall, the combination of large units, additional in -house amenities, and housing specifically for seniors, will reduce traffic and use in the neighborhood, making this PUD project more of a medium density development (5 to 12 units per acre) than the characteristics of a higher density active apartment. Given the characteristics of the Presbyterian Homes proposal, the project should reviewed as a medium density residenal project. 5.13 The structure is proposed with brick, stucco, concrete (stained) lap siding, precast concrete accent bands, asphalt shingles, alunr.inum soffit and fascia, vinyl windows, aluminum guard rail (decks), and vinyl clad patio doors, 5.14 The proposed 4 story structure will be approximately 58 feet ` in height to the top of the roof, with a tower at the southeast corner of the structure extending to a height of approximately 70 feet. The roof is proposed with a 6/12 pitch. The tower has a fiat roof, In the 1 -7 district there is no maximum height limit. 5.15 The Code required parking for the site would include 10 spaces for the existing office complex, 12 for the proposed office addition, 70 spaces for the proposed retail area, and 190 for the senior apartments, for a total of 392 on-site parking spaces (no parking has been allocated for the future development). By comparison, with senior housing, the site plan indicates a total of 224 surface parking spaces and 95 underground parking spaces for a total of 316 parking spaces. 5.16 The main parking lot for the retail area lies adjacent to Harnfine Avenue and is a one way design with the entrance from the north off of the access drive and an exist on the south to Hamiine Avenue. Parking in this lot is angled on both sides of the lot and includes 40 parking spaces. The main parking lot for the office building will lie to the west of the office and includes 109 parking spaces. Accommodations have been made for shared parking along the access drive from Hamline Avenue on either side of the drive lane, which includes 30 parking spaces. These parking spaces could be used for office or retail patrons. The main parking for the senior apartment residents will be provided underground, which includes 95 parking spaces. Additional visitor and retail parking will be provided on the west side of the structures with a limited number of spaces being provided on the north side of the senior apartment complex. The total parking for these two areas includes 45 parking spaces. Ample lanai adjacent to the proposed north parking lot remains to construct additional parking if needed. A "proof of parking plan" will be included with the final site plan and planned unit development agreement. 5.17 Three access points are proposed for the site. The first Iles along Centennial Drive and will be primarily used by the office building. The second access is existing and lies along Hamlinc Avenue and would be primarily used for access to the retail portion of new structure, as well as a secondary access to the office and visitors to the senior apartments. The egress along Hatmline Avenue is due to the one way angled parking along the front side (east) of the retail area. The third access lies along Terrace Drive and will be the primary access for those residents living in the senior apartments, because of its proximity to the underground gage entrance.
