File Number: 21-758 A menu of options for meeting the standards are provided to accommodate a variety of architectural styles, while maintaining quality design. Open Space Private, common, and publicly accessible open space are required to be provided. Current requirements for the amount of required common and private open space per unit are carried forward (60 square feet per unit in the SA and DA Districts, 200 square feet per unit in CC, CN, NA, P, and RM Districts). A new requirement for publicly accessible open space for developments over 25,000 square feet in the DA and SA Districts is included in response to community and Council feedback on the importance of placemaking. Additionally, providing publicly accessible open space beyond the base requirements is one of the amenity menu options that qualify toward meeting amenity requirements. Each type of open space has specific design standards, addressing items such as minimum dimensions, accessibility, surfacing, features, and landscaping. Parking and Service Areas Parking area location and design standards encourage active street frontages. Generally, structured parking areas are to be located behind active uses (a minimum of 40 feet back from the primary street frontage). In Residential Districts, surface parking, carports, and garages are limited to 40% of the street frontage. Additionally, design treatments are required for street-facing residential garages in order to avoid a massive appearance. Where feasible, parking areas must be accessed from an alley or secondary street. Landscaping All areas of the site not used for access, parking, buildings, open space, mechanical equipment, or other function are required to be landscaped. Complete Streets New development and additions over 10,000 square feet in size are required to implement frontage improvements consistent with the Master Plan of City Streets, Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, applicable Specific Plan and/or development strategy, and any other applicable standard or requirement. This standard encompasses pedestrian zone standards as well as installation of required bike lanes along the project frontage(s). Parking Proposed amendments to Chapter 4.08, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations, include the following: ·Bicycle Parking. A requirement of one long-term bicycle parking space for every two units of multi-family residential development is proposed. All uses will be required to provide short-term bicycle parking at a minimum of 5% of the required number of required automobile parking spaces, with a minimum of one space per establishment.
