. Three house models would range in size from approximately 1,599 square feet to 1,920 square feet. All of the models are two-stories tall. The homes would measure between 26 ft. 1 in. to 27 ft. 9 in. in height, depending on the model and elevation type (note: height measured from the grade adjacent to the house to the tallest roof ridge). There would be two different architectural styles for each house model type. The proposed Floor Area Ratios (FARs) range from 48% to 67% using the net lot area (the FARs range from 32-62% using the gross lot area). . No additions would be allowed on any of the homes. Site development standards have been created to establish setback, height, etc. regulations for accessory structures such as decks, patio covers, sheds, etc. . Two garage parking spaces would be provided per unit. In addition, residential driveways would be at least 18-feet long to accommodate parked vehicles with the garage door in a closed position. Five guest parking spaces would be provided on site. . The existing single-family dwelling would be demolished to accommodate the proposed development . All 20 of the existing trees on the subject property would be removed to accommodate the proposed development, including 12 heritage-sized trees (as defined by the Municipal Code). A fruitless mulberry tree in the City right-of-way along the project frontage will also be removed as part of the City's Stanley Boulevard reconstruction project. Two nearby trees located in the Union Pacific Railroad corridor would be preserved. Front yard landscaping would be installed for each lot.
