The landscaping plan should be modified to show the proposed screening. Waste Storage: City code requires all waste storage areas to be located in the rear or side yard and they must be screened. The site plan should be modified to indicate the location of the trash storage area. Off Street Parking, Design: All parking areas and drives located on the sites shall be paved and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. Off Street Parking, Number: City Code requires 1.5 off-street parking spaces for each one bedroom unit and 2 parking spaces for each two bedroom unit.

Under the IvlR Multi-Family District, a total of I50 parking spaces will be needed for this development. The previous senior apartment development, Savannah Oaks, used a standard of 1.5 parking spaces per unit. ff this standard is applied to The Ponds apmiment building, a total of 123 parking spaces are needed. Staff will be recommending that this standard be used again since very few of the residents have two cars and some have none. -342-
