Off Street Parking, Number: City Code requires 2.5 off-street parking spaces for each three bedroom unit. In this case a total of 85 off-street parking spaces are required for the thirty-four proposed three-bedroom un/ts. The eight one-bedroom un/ts require 1.5 off-street parking stalls per unit, for a total of twelve stalls required. The total number of off-street parking spaces required for the townhome project is 97. The total parking spaces provided including garage and driveways is 168, this meets City C~de requirements. It has been the City's policy to require multi-family developments to provide some additional parking nodes for guest parking. The site plan is proposing four (4) parking nodes which will provide for a total of ten (10) additional parking spaces, Staff feels that this meets City standards. 19. 'Utilities: The development will be served by municipal water and sanitary sewer which will be located within public right-of-way and the utilities have adequate capacity to service the demands of these units. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts building height to 35 feet and exterior materials are to be face brick, natural stone, specifically designed precast concrete, factory fabricated and finished metal frame paneling, glass or other materials as approved by the City Council'. The building elevation plans will need to be revised to indicate building height for the townhome structures. The exterior elevation plans are proposing exterior wall materials to consist of maintenance free siding and asphalt shingles. The proposed siding is a deviation from City Code and will requ{.~e City Council approval. A color rendering is required at the time of the Planning Commission meeting. Laundry Facilities: City Code requires a 100 square foot common laundw facility for structures ranging from one to four units and each townhome Unit will have a designated laundry area. Garage Space: Three or more family unit structures are required to have at least a 240 square foot garage for each unit. All proposed townhome unit structures contain a two- stall garage that is at least 400 square feet in size. Minimum Floor Area: The R-3 Urban Residential District regulations were used to critique the proposed unit sizes. City code requires minimum floor areas'for 1 and 3 bedroom units to be 525 and 775 square feet respectively. The proposed one-bedroom townhome units will have a floor area of 1,447 square feet (these units will not include a basement). The three bedroom units are proposing to have 2,798 square feet of floor area, which will include a basement. The development significantly exceeds the minimum floor area square footage requirements for 1 and 3 bedroom un/ts. -241-
