1240 Clarke Street 2 08/ 12/97 A-97-5/PD-97-6 The facility will be licensed by the State of California's Department of Social Services to provide care and supervision for the elderly. This would include three meals a day, plus snacks, housekeeping, laundry, transportation to shopping, doctors and other personal appointments, 24-hour supervision, medication scheduling and oversight, daily activities programs, bathing and dressing assistance, and other assistance that an elderly person may need. The proposed building will have a footprint of 11,049 square feet covering 50.5% of the site. The ground floor will have setbacks ranging from zero- to 17-feet along the Davis Street (northerly) frontage, and eight - feet along the Clarke Street frontage. The four -stories over the footprint maintains a 14- to 17-foot setback from the Davis Street property line, approximately 14-foot setback from the Clarke Street property line, approximately 46-feet from the rear property line and a zero -setback along the westerly property line. These four floors are shown on Exhibit B as a shaded rectangle. The varying setbacks along the Davis Street frontage and the Clarke Street frontage will be landscaped. The site will be accessed from two driveways on Clarke and Davis Streets. The Clarke Street driveway is the primary access providing ingress and egress. The Davis Street driveway is for egress, only. There will be a total of 32 off-street parking spaces. The ground floor will include common areas for dining, activities, social functions, a kitchen for food preparation, small beauty salon, chapel, administrative offices for the facility's staff and miscellaneous rooms such as bathrooms and storage rooms (see Exhibit B). The lobby and foyer area is near the center of the building and is accessible from the front (Davis Street) or the rear parking area. The building will be equipped with two elevators flanking the lobby area. Stairwells are located along the east, west and south sides of the building. The second to fifth floors are identical in size and in layout. Each is approximately 9,790 square feet with 18-units, a main corridor and a large common living room in the middle of the floor (see Exhibits C & D - Floor Plans). The rooms will be designed to accommodate one to two residents. Each room includes a shower, a toilet and two sinks. The second floor will contain an outdoor balcony at the rear of the building, measuring approximately 23 by 40-feet (920 square feet). This will be a private outdoor area for the residents. It will be landscaped with plants in raised containers. The building has a Mediterranean style appearance with the use of stucco, a variety of recessed windows with mullions, raised sills, cornices and molding, and barrel, concrete tile roofs (see Exhibit E - Elevations). The front facade (facing Davis Street) will consist of three vertical modules. The middle module consists of a tower feature that punctuates the front. It contains curved windows at the top floor with tile accents and a balustrade at the fourth floor supported by brackets. The ground floor facing Davis Street has two shorter tower elements, one at the corner of Davis and Clarke Streets and the other centered in the wall. Each tower contains a large curved window, cornice detail and the tile roof. The entire Davis Street and Clarke Street building elevations contain curved archways to emulate an arcade at the street level. The curved windows and archways are used together to create a pedestrian appearance along the street frontage. The rear (south) elevation is treated similar to the three modules along the front elevation. The Clarke Street elevation includes similar architectural elements found on the rest of the building such as recessed windows and raised cornice and molding. The east elevation will be a windowless wall due to it being contiguous to the property line, however it will still contain architectural treatments.
