2.3 Presbyterian Homes is proposing the amendment in order to re-design the facility and increase the size of the individual units. The residence facility will include 26 one bedroom units with 440 square feet each and 10 studio units with 380 square feet each. Since the footprint of the building will increase from 26, 500 square feet to 32,900 square feet (a 24% increase), an amendment to the PUD is required. The building will be a one-story building as originally proposed, with adequate parking (28 spaces) and an architectural character similar to the other buildings. 2.4 The facility will provide specialty care for 36 residents with dementia in four "houses." Each house will contain a small family-sized living area that encourages both independence and interaction with other residents. The four "houses" will be linked to a larger common area referred to as the Village Square. Building support functions will be located in the basement of the building, and there will be an underground connection with the building to the south to allow for the transfer of meals to this facility. The project narrative provided by the applicant and attached to this report provides additional information on the operation of the facility and how it will meet the needs of its residents. 2.5 In conjunction with the application for a conditional use, the following documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff In preparation of this report: * project narrative site plan (dated 3/9/98) grading, drainage, erosion control, & utilities plan (dated 3/9/98) landscape plan (dated 3/9/98) building floor plan (dated 3/9/98) exterior building elevations (dated 3/9/9BO * * * * * 2.6 The architecture of the building will complement the existing buildings. Exterior building materials will be similar to the existing buildings, and will include a combination of gray vinyl shingles, white stucco, red-brown face brick, white trim and windows, and a green shingle roof. Efforts have also been made to orient high activity areas away from the single family residential neighborhood to the west and to address the concerns raised by neighboring residents during neighborhood meetings in February. Colored building elevations will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting. 2.7 The landscape plan includes the construction of a second retaining wall along the west side of the building. Two areas of dense plantings - one above the wall and one below the wall - will minimize the amount of foundation wall exposed to the neighboring properties. The landscaping will be installed to screen portions of the buildings from view and will be consistent with the types of plantings along the creek corridor. Grades at the northwest corner of the site will be disturbed as little as possible in order to preserve some of the mature trees in this area. The drainage of the site will be consistent with the original plan. Additional information and renderings of landscaping will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting.
