Case Number: 912-75�f Aug�si 6,.1975 � � ' Fage Three D. Densit : The ordinance in Section 7.370, paragraph (5) as you know, establishes a density requirement of 2,004 square feet per one bedroom unit and 2,800 square feet per two bedroom un�t. A fUrther provision provides for 100 square feet of reduction in these numbers if the development is contiguous to a B Zone as is the case on this property. The project has 148 one bedroom units at 2,000 square feet per unit equaiing �96,000 square feet. The 5i�gle two bedroam unit for the caretaker would require 2,800 square feet. This totals 298,000 square feet which aft�r d�ducting the 14,900 al3awance,p_r�duces a net requirement of 283,IQ0 square feet. The property has a tota7 of 198,71b square feet. One sh�uld keep in mind that these density standards were se� to provide adequate space for larger apartments normally built on three ievels, with adequate space for two park�ng spaces per unit. You will note when viewzng the large scale site pla�s ihat 198,716 square feet is more than adequate for the sma17 units proposed in ��e six story building. � E. B�ildi� Hei ht and Number of Units: 7he ardinance s�ecifies Sectian7.4b0 that apartme�t buildings to be built aver thre� stories or thirty (30) feet in height and containing more than 24 units shall require a Specia7 Use Permit. It: was not the intent of this requirement to ouilaw buildings mare than t�ree stories or with more than 24 units, but �t was felt by the Council at that time {1959).that svme cantrol over where these building were go�ng to be built wauld be appropriate. In th�s case the uniis are to be b�ilt behind the shopping cen�er-and appraximately 170 feet west of the east property.line. Plans indicate t�e_struGture to be placed 60 feet south-of Dione Street. The approval i� 1972 attached �h-e cond�tion that the structure be 80 feet from,D�one Street. �The app7icant's shauld be questioned as ta whether or not this distance cou�d be appropriately a�plied again. It is appropriate.in our apinion that-the building-be placed as far to the south and west as possible so as- to prov�de adequate space between the s�ngle family area north of Dione Street and �he gre�nhouse area to-�he east on �he Leben's property. We understand that �n: 1972 ther� was concern expressed on the part_of Leben's regarding the po�ential shadow effect. If.you_look-a� the site, yo� will natice �owever,-that the greenf�ouses appear to be approximately seventy-f3ve feet east of the tivest line af Leben's property. ihere thus appears to be appraximately 245 feet beiween the praposed struc�ure and the greenhouse. The struciure is proposed to be fifty-four (54j feet �igh. Thus, the shadow would apply only in the very late afternoon on any given day._ I� �s also true that greenhouses tend to phase out of high7y urbanized locatio�s�as is_ the case in point here. .
