Tarayao A.I.A., Location: 14682 Holt Avenue Request: Authorization to develop 5 (five) residential condominium units BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION At the April 6, 1981 meeting, the Planning Agency reviewed a site plan for five residential condominium units which made extensive use of turf block in drive areas in an attempt to satisfy open space requirements of the Planned Development District. The Agency did not agree that the turf block could be used to satisfy open space requirements and the members determined that the plan as submitted did not have sufficient open space for a favorable finding. The action was continued so that the architects could design a plan which more closely satisfies the City development standard. The land use calculations for the revised plan are as follows: 5 - 2 story units 10 - parking spaces (garages) Building Area - 4574.45 sq. ft. Driveways 2934 sq. ft. Open space - 7561.25 sq. ft. (50.17%) The plan incorporates a common recreation area in the rear of the site with a breezeway entry between the units. The plan does satisfy minimum requirements of the district but staff does have concerns relating to circulation. Variance No. 81-2 May 4, 1981 Page Two The plan indicates one visitor parking space. This space was not counted in the land coverage to attain the 50% maximum. It is suggested that this area be designed as a front walk entry to the first unit side and rear yard which could be used for an excess parking space. Use by any tenants should be prohibited in the CC&R's. e The turn around area in the rear may present difficulties for delivery vehicles. The trash enclosure has been placed near the front of the site for this reason. The backup area from garage entrances is 32'6". RECOMMENDED ACTION Favorable consideration of the application is recommended since the re-design satisfies minimum standards. Draft Resolution No. 1956 is submitted for Agency consideration.
