Because townhomes typically c:o not have front or side yards included in the lot areas and <br /> typically have FARs exceeding 100%, a comparison of the proposed project's FARs with the <br /> adjacent Del Valle Manor townhome project would not be helpful. Staff has provided on the <br /> table below a comparison of the combined total FAR of the subject site (total square footage of <br /> all of the homes divided by the total land area of the development) and the adjacent Del Valle <br /> Manor townhouse development. <br /> Project Total Project Area Combined Total Total Project FAR <br /> House Area <br /> Proposed Project 51,135 sq. ft. 23,991 to 24,497 sq. ft. 47%to 48% <br /> PUD-82 <br /> 14 detached sin_le-family homes <br /> Del Valle Manor Townhomcs 112,454 sq. ft. ± 49,080 sq. ft. ± 44% <br /> PUD-85-07 <br /> 36 townhomes <br /> Staff finds the proposed lot sizes, house sizes, and FARs to be acceptable and consistent with <br /> the pattern of approved residem.ial development within the Downtown. <br /> Site Development Standards <br /> The applicant is not proposing house additions be allowed; therefore, there are no site <br /> development standards for futu-e additions to the homes. Staff finds the proposed homes to be <br /> adequately sized. In addition, there would be limited yard area to accommodate additions and <br /> neighbors have already expressed concerns regarding the proposed house setbacks. Therefore, <br /> staff concurs that additions s: ould nol be allowed in the development. A condition of approval <br /> addresses this item. <br /> The proposed accessory structure site development standards are generally satisfactory and <br /> similar to standards created for other small-lot developments in the City. Staff is recommending <br /> that the standards be modified to address the following items: <br /> a) Indicate that setbacks fo.7 covered patios, trellises, sheds, etc. shall be measured from the <br /> farthest architectural projection. <br /> b) Indicate that decks and patios shall not interfere with the rear or side yard drainage <br /> installed by the developer. <br /> c) Specify how setbacks are measured for the lots with the courtyards and easement areas <br /> (Lots 1-4, 9-10, and 13-- 4). <br /> d) Indicate that the wall material for detached and attached patios that are enclosed on two <br /> or more sides be limited to glass, screen lattice, or similar type of construction.
