162 accommodated with approximately 30 surface spaces provided on the western side of the 163 building. The site plan indicates that indicates that the surface parking lot will be 164 constructed of both bituminous pavement and porous pavers. 166 Section 101 . 1 O(A) of the City Code sets minimum parking standards by use. This section 167 does not specifically identify a parking requirement for assisted-living as a use and, per to 168 Section 101 . 1 O , "where land uses are proposed that are not specifically listed above 169 [within 101 . 1 O(A ], the City Council shall establish a reasonable number of off-street 1 "7 0 parking space for such use. The City' Code has established parking requirements for nursing 1 "7 1 homes and senior housing at one space per four beds and one enclosed space plus 0.3 spaces 1 "72 of visitor parking, respectively. The Code does not have a requirement for assisted living, 1 "7 3 but 0.5 spaces per unit is a generally accepted parking requirement for this type of use. 1 "74 Based on the proposed programming for this facility, the parking requirement is 81 total 1 "7 5 units with 4 of those enclosed. This includes 4 parking spaces for the memory care 1 "7 6 element,, 17 parking spaces for the assisted living element,, and 4 enclosed and 14 visitor 1 7 7 spaces for the independent living component. Staff recommends that additional underground 1 "7 8 and surface parking spaces are designed into this project to accommodate on-site parking 1 79 demands. e. Landsca in The landscaping plan is proposing significant landscaping as part of this project, including a formally landscaped building entrance with a fountain, a naturalistic 1 2 stormwater pond,, and deciduous trees between two structures. As described in sections 1 3 6.2.a. and b. of this report, staff recommends that site this project integrate "gateway"' 1 4 landscaping elements near the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Langton Lake Drive and that the final landscape design encourage a pedestrian friendly environment along 1 6 Cleveland Avenue. 1 "7 f. Pathways and Sidewalks.- Section 1013.07 of the City's Code requires that new non- 1 motorized pathways be constructed as part of new development on properties that are 1 designated through the official pathway system plan. A sidewalk is shown on the concept 190 plan the full length of the project's Cleveland Avenue fTontage. A pathway is also shown 191 along the southern edge of the site; it wraps around the eastern side of the stormwater pond 192 and ultimately connects into the pathway on the southern side of the senior cooperative 193 building. 194 g. Roads- According to the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation Manuel 195 (2003 )1,, a congregate care facility generates 2.81 trips per unit on weekdays and 3.0 trips per 196 day on weekends. With 93 units, the proposed project is anticipated to generate 261 trips per 197 weekday and 279 trips per weekend day. As this is not a significant number of new trips per 198 day, the City Engineer has concluded that the existing roadway network has sufficient 199 capacity to accommodate these new trips and no roadway improvements are required for 200 this project. 20 1 h. Stormwater.* ' Stormwater will be collected and treated on site. The conceptual stormwater 202 m manageent plan includes porous pavers in the parking lot, enclosed garden, and patio/deck 203 to decrease overall impervious surface. The plan also shows a stormwater pond at the 204 southeastern comer of the site. 205 i. Sewer and Water.- Sewer and water will be provided by a water main and sanitary sewer 206 connection located under Langton Lake Drive. Page 5 of 7
