File Number: 20-311 lines and, with an exception for a 4 foot setback to accommodate the support and screening features of the outdoor patios, the remainder of the building has a 10 foot setback along the Estudillo Avenue property line. The east side of the revised building continues to maintain a 72-foot setback from the interior property line and complies with the daylight plane provisions for projects adjacent to residential zones (Exhibits B and E). These dimensions are unchanged from the prior proposal. The 15-foot setbacks along Joaquin Avenue and Bancroft Avenue accommodate landscaping, existing overhead utility transmission lines, storm water bioswales, and a stepped main entrance with accessible ramp access to the lobby at the southwest corner of the building facing the intersection of Bancroft and Joaquin Avenues. On the north side of the building, outdoor patios for the ground floor units and a support column screening a portion of the upper patios will extend into the 10 foot side setback along Estudillo Avenue. The eastern side of the building will contain a screened and gated parking lot accessible from Joaquin Avenue with secondary access to Estudillo Avenue limited to exiting only, the size and dimensions of which remain unchanged from the prior proposal. A recessed rear portion of the building facing the east will contain usable common space consisting of a patio, a children’s play area and a sport turf area. The sport turf area is wider than the prior proposal due to the reduced footprint of the revised building that removed three units from this location (Exhibit E). The ground level would have 12 residential units and the second and third levels would have 15 units each. The design and layout of the southwestern corner of the ground floor at the corner of Bancroft Avenue and Joaquin Avenue remains consistent with the prior proposal, containing the main entry, a lobby with an elevator, a vestibule with mailboxes and a package room, a manager’s office, and leasing offices. The southeastern corner of the building also remains consistent, with no changes proposed to the community room and bicycle storage room. The northeastern corner of the building contains the trash room and utility meter rooms. The roof has been redesigned to remove the open space patio deck area and landscaping. The roof will no longer be accessible to tenants, but will continue to house an elevator penthouse, stairwell access, wireless telecommunications equipment room and solar arrays for hot water and photovoltaic power (Exhibit G). The parking plan remains unchanged, providing a total of 55 parking spaces (Exhibits E and V). This includes 47 covered resident spaces inside the screened and gated parking area and eight additional parking spaces outside the gate along Joaquin Avenue. The entry gate is setback from Joaquin Avenue in order to accommodate those vehicles waiting for the gate to open. As with the prior proposal, a photovoltaic (PV-solar) carport/canopy is above the gated spaces and electric vehicle charging stations are provided. With 42 proposed dwelling units, the project will provide 1.3 unbundled (unassigned) parking spaces per unit and will manage parking through a parking management plan to optimize the available parking spaces. Building Design and Architecture The proposed architecture remains unchanged from the prior proposal. The design is contemporary with varying roof lines, changing wall planes, and different materials, colors and finishes on all four sides of the building (Exhibits H, I, K,L M, and N).
