Preliminary Site Plan Review- Residence at The COR October 28, 2010, revised November 17, 2010 Page 3 of 9 • Promote multiple stories in this sub - district but occasional single story buildings are acceptable; continuous rooflines and single story buildings should not dominate any street frontage and should be a minimum of 18 feet to the roofline. The proposed building is a four story building. The architectural elevations indicate a design consistent with the goals of the design guidelines and do not contain continuous rooflines. • A diverse mix of materials is encouraged, applied in a variety of proportions, exposures, and detailing, especially along all street frontages. The proposed building will include a mix of materials acceptable to the Design Guidelines. Building Height: The TC -1 District requires a minimum of two (2) stories and a maximum of five (5) stories for all buildings within this district. The proposed building is four (4) stories. The City would like to complete a floor to floor comparison between the two structures and match the existing ramp as feasible. Please provide the City detail regarding the height of the proposed building in comparison to the height of the existing parking ramp. It is the City's understanding a 3D model may already exist that could serve as a baseline analysis. Waste Storage: The site plan indicates an enclosed waste storage area. Please include details as to the materials and construction of this waste storage enclosure to ensure consistency with City Code. Off - Street Parking - Spaces Required: The COR zoning district sets a maximum parking space standard of two (2) per residential unit, which equates to (229 units x two [2] spaces = 458 maximum) spaces in this case. The preliminary site plan proposes sixteen (16) off - street parking spaces with additional space for on- street parking. A majority of parking will be accommodated off -site in the Municipal Parking Ramp. The City is negotiating a parking agreement for approximately 300 spaces. Details regarding ADA parking standards still need to be addressed. It appears that there will remain sufficient parking for other uses that utilize the ramp as evident in the following calculation (assumes construction of the ramp expansion: 790 total spaces - 350 for transit - 300 for Residence at The COR - 106 for Municipal Center 34 Remaining Spaces It is also important to note that both Sunwood and Civic Center Drive accommodate some on- street parking for peak periods. Signs: Please note that all signs for the proposed building must be approved through a separate sign permit process. Easements: Please note that all easements must be recorded prior to the City issuing a Building Permit. You must provide proof of recording of all documents as required by the City. A title search should be completed to ensure all underlying easements are vacated as necessary. Vacating easements is a separate land use application with the City. Alleyway Access: The Applicant should provide additional detail regarding the functionality and safety of the proposed alleyway between the existing ramp and the proposed building. It appears that the drive
