summarized below and are described fully in the attached Planning Commission and <br /> Housing Commission staff reports. <br /> PUD Major Modification and Development Plan <br /> The applicant proposes to build an apartment complex as follows: <br /> - Density: The project would provide 168 apartment units in total, or 30 units <br /> per acre of the 5.6 acre site, as well as one clubhouse building/ leasing office, <br /> on-site amenities, and surface parking. <br /> - Site Layout: The housing will be distributed among three buildings. Two "U"- <br /> shaped buildings fronting West Las Positas Boulevard are three-stories (38- <br /> feet tall), 58,000 square feet each, and house 38 units individually. The third <br /> residential building is an "L"-shaped structure (located in the northern part of <br /> the site) and is four-stories (53 feet) tall, 115,000 square feet in size, contains <br /> 92 units, and overlooks Tassajara Creek. <br /> - Design: The proposed project models a Mission Hacienda architectural style. <br /> The materials that are proposed include stucco, limestone trim (simulated), <br /> stone veneer, wood-like trim for the windows, concrete roof S-tile, wrought <br /> iron work, and fabric awnings. The detailing of the rafter tails, the balconies, <br /> and accent trims create depth to the proposed buildings. <br /> - Amenities and Open Space: The clubhouse/leasing office is approximately <br /> 4,650 square feet in area and is one-story in height with a breezeway entry <br /> feature (maximum of 24' tall). The clubhouse will offer a fitness center <br /> (including yoga and group exercise studio), clubroom with kitchen and seating <br /> for community gatherings, and multiple leasing offices. The central outdoor <br /> recreation area offers an 800-square-foot outdoor swimming pool, children's <br /> play area, grassy village green, barbeque picnic area, and water feature. The <br /> southwest corner of the property contains a 9,000-square-foot pocket park <br /> with a large open lawn, community vegetable garden, fenced pet area, earth <br /> sculpture and gathering areas with seating. The pocket park is also designed <br /> to provide a 3,600-square-foot stormwater basin. In total, the project <br /> proposes 26,600 square feet of group open space and the total on-site <br /> impervious surface area would be 190,492 square feet. <br /> - Access: The main access to the site would remain on West Las Positas <br /> Boulevard with additional emergency vehicle access being provided off <br /> Stoneridge Drive through the adjacent ValleyCare site (as outlined in the <br /> Reciprocal Easement Agreement, Exhibit G). Eight paseos connect the <br /> residential buildings, and the site in general, to the existing public sidewalk <br /> along West Las Positas Boulevard. Direct pedestrian access is also provided <br /> to the planned Tassajara Creek trail (along the south side of the creek). <br /> Pedestrian-designated walkways allow for multiple paths of travel between <br /> the proposed buildings and the on-site amenities and the Tassajara Creek <br /> trail (off-site). <br /> Page 4 of 14 <br />
