• Pedestrian and Bicycle Path: A pedestrian and bicycle path for a future
<br /> connection is shown from the southeast corner of the site 10 the adjoining
<br /> property line. An easement from PG&E would need to be secured in order to
<br /> connect this pathway to the trail along the Arroyo del Valle Creek Trail. A
<br /> condition of approval encourages the applicant to work with PG&E to secure this
<br /> easement.
<br /> • Residential Site Layout: A total of 345 residential apartments un is are proposed
<br /> and would be dispersed between three clusters: Cluster 1 will be located near
<br /> the northeastern portion of the property and will consist of 94 apartment units
<br /> (Buildings B1, B2, Cl, C2, D1, D2, El, and E2), Cluster 2 will be located near
<br /> the southeastern portion of the property and will consist of 160 apartment units
<br /> in a podium style building (Building A), and Cluster 3 (Buildings B3, B4, D3, D4,
<br /> E3, E4, Fl, and F2) will be located near the southwestern corner of the property
<br /> and will consist of 91 units. The density of the residential portion of the project is
<br /> 30 units per acre (345 units on 11.5 acres).
<br /> • Residential Unit Types and Sizes: Residential units include 19 junior one-
<br /> bedroom units (approximately 650-gross square feet), 142 one-bedroom units
<br /> (755-gross-square-feet), 20 one-bedroom with den units (880-gross-square-
<br /> feet), 29 two-bedroom units (1,075-gross-square-feet), 65 two-bedroom-split
<br /> master units (between 1,115-1,132-gross-square-feet), 14 two-bedroom plus
<br /> den (1,230-gross-square feet), 8 two-bedroom carriage units (1,205-gross-
<br /> square-feet), 26 two-bedroom "townhome" units (1308-1390-gross-square-feet),
<br /> 18 three-bedroom units (1,250-1,510-gross-square-feet), and 4 three-bedroom
<br /> with den units (approximately 1,440-gross-square feet). A full breakdown of unit
<br /> mix is provided on the second page (Sheet ii) of the plan set.
<br /> • Residential Parking: A total of 611 parking spaces are proposed for the
<br /> residential portion of the project (at a ratio of 1.8 parking spaces per dwelling
<br /> unit). The 611 parking spaces consist of: 54 spaces in carports, 153 spaces in
<br /> private garages, 191 spaces in a parking garage in Cluster 2, and 213 surface
<br /> parking spaces.
<br /> • Residential Building Heights: The residential buildings vary in height. In Cluster
<br /> 1, the shortest buildings are Buildings Cl and C2, proposed at 29-feet in height.
<br /> The tallest buildings in Cluster 1 are El and E2, proposed at 35-feet. In Cluster
<br /> 2, the shortest building is the commons building, proposed at a height of 20-feet
<br /> and the tallest building is the residential unit building, proposed at a height of 51-
<br /> feet. The shortest buildings in Cluster 3 are Buildings Fl and F2, proposed at a
<br /> height of 28-feet and the tallest building is Building E3, proposed at 37-feet in
<br /> height. Increasing the massing of the Cluster 2 residential building allows for the
<br /> portions of Cluster 3 adjacent to Bernal Avenue to be two-story.
<br /> • Residential Building Design and Materials: The design of the residential buildings
<br /> in Clusters 1 and 3 incorporate gable roofs, exposed rafters, and dormer
<br /> windows. Materials include composition shingle roofing, wood veneer, lap siding,
