'�,� It is estimated that the 11 on-site parlcing spaces with access to Dionne Street wi11 have minimum vehicle movements, mostly utilized by visitors. Additional parlcing could be constructed adjacent to this 1ot if demand is created, based on a proof of parlcing agreement. �.� The City Code requires off-street parlcing to consist of 1 enclosed space for every unit of senior housing and 0.3 spaces per unit of visitor (surface) parlcing. The Code further requires two spaces for each town home dwelling unit, of which 1 space must be enclosed. The proposal for Green House Village includes 113 underground parlcing spaces and 32 surface (on-site) spaces for a total of 145 parlcing spaces, which exceeds the City Code requirement. The town house proposal includes 2 enclosed spaces for each unit and 2 driveway parking spaces per unit for a total of 28 parking spaces. Although no direct visitor parlcing spaces have been provided for the town home project, shared parlcing just to the west can accommodate up to 10 vehicles. A proof of parlcing a�reement wi11 be written with the develo�er to assure that, if needed in the future, the site can accommodate additional parkin�. '�.� Site lighting must be downcast and not shed glare at adjacent properties. The Community Development Department has not reviewed a site lighting plan and wi11 worlc with the Developer on an appropriate style and layout. The developer may want to discuss options with Xce1 Energy for residential street lighting and within the development site. Lighting adj acent to existing residential properties must be down cast. �_� The placement of inechanical equipment can create visual and noise issues. Given the proposal it is assumed that air conditioning units for the town homes wi11 be placed on the ground. A11 units for the town homes must be placed on the north side of each unit and screened from view. �.8 In the case of the senior cooperative, it is assumed that heating, cooling, and ventilating equipment and air conditioning units wi11 be affixed as wa11 units to the building fa�ade and not placed on the roof or ground. However, should mechanical equipmentbe placed on the ground or placed within roof cavities, those mechanical units must be centrally placed and screened from view and include reduced noise 1evels. 7.9 Should an emergency generator be contemplated for the cooperative, the final site plans must indicate the proposed location and the generator must meet a11 applicable State decibellevels. �.� RECOMN�NDATIONS AND CONDITIONS: �. ! The staff recommends approval of this project concept and the four actions necessary to begin preparation of final documents, subject to the 9 conditions detailed in the project report submitted to the Planning Commission on May 5,2004. City utility services already serve this site (or are in close proximity) and have adequate capacity to support the new structures. Since this project does not meet the thresholds, no Environmental Assessment Worksheet is required. The site planning, landscape architecture, and the architecture are we11 done, including high quality building materials. The project meets PF3548 — RCA 052404 Page 10 of 13
