applicant provide details on how the spaces would be identified and regulated. Overall, the project complies with the residential parking requirements. Retail The Standards do not indicate a minimum parking ratio for retail. The Hacienda Guidelines require 1 space/200 sq. ft. for commercial/retail uses where such uses are allowed. The applicant proposes 41 spaces (1 space/183 sq. ft.), which complies with the Hacienda Guidelines and staff believes is acceptable. Office In order to accommodate the residential and retail development, 1,242 of the 3,916 existing office parking spaces would be removed and replaced with 1,459 new parking spaces comprised of 518 surface and 941 garage parking spaces. As proposed, a total of 4,133 spaces would be provided for the office tenants. The Hacienda Guidelines require 1 space/250 sq. ft. for office uses. The applicant proposes 1 space/246 sq. ft. for the office area, which complies with the Hacienda Guidelines. A total of 189 carpool/vanpool spaces are proposed. The applicant will need to designate 15 more carpool/vanpool spaces in order to comply with the Hacienda Guidelines. A condition of approval addresses this item. Bicycle The Standards require 0.8 bicycle spaces per apartment unit that is secured and weather protected (305 units x 0.8 = 244 spaces required). The project would provide 245 spaces (60 in the private garages and 185 in bike storage rooms) in compliance with this requirement. The Standards also require a minimum of two public bike racks per 50 dwelling units which must be located within 100 ft. of main entries (12 racks required). The project would provide 12 racks as required. For the retail component, the Standards require two racks per 5,000 sq. ft. (3 racks required). Three racks would be provided as required. Noise External noise sources that could affect the site include traffic noise from Interstate 580 to the north, adjacent City streets, and adjacent land uses. For multi-family housing projects, the City's General Plan requires that outdoor recreation areas not exceed 65 dB Ldn and that indoor noise levels not exceed 45 dB Ldf. Staff notes that the outdoor noise standard applies to the common outdoor recreation areas such as pools, spas, play areas, seating areas, etc., but not to the private balconies, patios, or porches. A noise study (Exhibit B) was prepared to ensure that the project will meet General Plan noise standards. The noise study indicates that the exterior noise levels for the project would comply with the General Plan standard and that the interior noise levels would comply with the General Plan standard using standard construction materials and techniques. Therefore, noise mitigation would not be required for the project. PUD-85-08-1 D-4M Page - 17- March 27, 2013
