CASE NUMBER: 1483-84 APPLICANT: The Housing Alliance 5. The principal problem that the architects have been fact that most of the site has very poor soil, and are in a triangular zone t d Page 2 wrestling with is the that the buildable areas owar the southeast corner of the site. This area of the site is, of course, nearest the existing single family residences. To mitigate this concern, the architects have reduced the number of units from 156 to 130, which is the number of units that is allowed in accordance with the density requirements for apartment develop- ment in the R-3A Zone. Thus, a variance to density is not required in this case. 5. The sections drawn on the attached copies of the plans, indicate an important point with respect to the height of the building as it relates to the contiguous single family area to the coast. Because the building is set into the hill and that the land falls substantially toward the west, the .level of the structure on the vast side }daces the third floor of the building slightly above the first floor elevation of the houses on Cohansey Street. The distance from this structure to the homes on Cohansey is approximately 170 feet. Given the rather elaborate landscaping proposal for the east side of the site, it would appear that the visual impact of the structure with respect to these homes will be substantially reduced. 6. The R-3A Zoning Dintrict allows structures up to 24 units and three stories in height as a perasitted use. For a structure wit)► a greater number of units and higher than three flora, a spoc�ial use permit in required. Each of the other two sonior citizens' housing projects to Roseville have been processed under this provision. Obviously, a review of the larder structures is appropriate inasmuch as it depenels, as: in this case, a great deal on the Olevation of the ground with respect to contin►guous props rtios, their particular use, ti►ea m A sing and chbracter of ti►e st.ructura, and mathods used to mitigate the additional hoight.. 7. The R-3A District requires two parking spaces per unit. in this case they proposes a parking ratio of one to one Oil) which is substanttia►lly more than usually provided in senior citizen# housing. Inasmuch as this is market rate housing, however, ti►e number of care may be greater than the other senior citizens projects in [tosuvill,e. The typical provision for parking in senior citizens housing is at 751 to 50t of the units. The plan as proposed in€)icatos ton parking aPaces which will be closer to County Road b than allc.led after the ton foot dedication on the south side of County Road ii. We suggest these npacas be removed, and provid& as additional ts)mcos which can to added on the weaterly side of the sits should the need be indicated by experience after the project is completed, 8. A variance to this etiutback is re►quentad along the cast aide and south side Of the site. They ordinances requires a 15 foot aisle yard setback and a 10 foot rear yard setback with ti►e Stipulation that the rear yard in any case shall be: threes -quarters of they height of the: building, and then side yard
