near the recreation building at Building B. Staff has included a condition to address the dog wash relocation. Floor Area Ratio The Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines indicate that there is no FAR applicable to the residential developments. Open Space/Amenities The proposed project contains a variety of recreation areas and amenities. Recreation and community building space would include a fitness room and community lounge room. The central outdoor recreation area offers an outdoor swimming pool/spa, children's play area, open green area, and barbeque picnic area. Pedestrian paseos and pocket plazas would be provided in various locations throughout the complex. In addition, a water feature is proposed near the main entrance to the complex fronting West Las Positas Boulevard by the leasing office. In total, the project proposes 44,448 square feet of group open space on-site. The Standards require a minimum of 300 sq. ft. of group open space per dwelling unit (177 units x 300 = 53,100 sq. ft.). Private open space is not required, but, if provided, it can be deducted from the group open space requirement at a 2:1 ratio (i.e., one sq. ft. of private open space = 2 sq. ft. of group open space). The project would provide 44,448 sq. ft. of group open space and 9,524 sq. ft. of private open space, which is equivalent to a total of 63,496 sq. ft. of group usable open space. Therefore, the project complies with the open space requirements. Regarding private open space, the Standards do not require private open space be provided for each unit. One hundred sixty eight (168) of the 177 units would have private open space areas in the form of patios or balconies. The private open space areas range from 56 to 143 sq. ft. in area. The nine units without private open space are located on the second floors of Buildings C and D facing south (Arroyo Mocho). The applicant removed the balconies at those location in to response to the privacy concerns from a group of residents on the south side of Arroyo Mocho (Parkside neighborhood). The areas proposed for the tot lot and common open space have been adjusted to address the comments from the Planning Commission work session on September 11, 2013 so that these two areas would be sized appropriately and adequately to serve the residents. Overall, staff finds the project amenities and group and private open space to be acceptable.
