a. PUD -87. P13 -1981 Sares Regis /E &S Ring Applications for: (1) Planned Unit Development (PUD) Development Plan approval to construct 345 apartment units, an approximately 38,781 - square -foot retail center consisting of four buildings, new surface parking, and related site improvements on an approximately 16 -acre site located at 3150 Bernal Avenue (southeast corner of Bernal Avenue and Stanley Boulevard); (2) Development Agreement; (3) Affordable Housing Agreement; and (4) Growth Management Approval. Zoning for the property is PUD -HDR (Planned Unit Development — High Density Residential) and PUD -C (Planned Unit Development — Commercial) Districts. Shweta Bonn stated that she would present the staff report and described the background, scope, and key elements of the proposed project; and the applicant's presentation would focus on the differences between what was presented at the December 12, 2012 Work Session and the current proposal. Commissioner O'Connor asked Ms. Bonn to go over the changes made since the Work Session. Ms. Bonn highlighted the changes, noting that details would be provided by the applicant's presentation: • The residential architecture in Clusters 1 and 3 has incorporated more craftsman -style elements. • Building E3 in Cluster 3 is now all three stories. • The corner of Stanley Boulevard and Bernal Avenue has been modified to include wing walls and a large tree as a focal point. • An additional tot lot has been added in Cluster 1. • An additional bus stop was added 400 feet west of the Stanley Boulevard /Bernal AvenueNalley Avenue intersection. • Changes to the commercial area include an increased thickness to the cornice, a reduced overhang to the eave, and a more traditional lighting element. Commissioner Ritter pointed out that on page 20 of the staff report, staff noted that the project does not meet the parking requirements for the commercial portion of the project but that the parking on the site will adequately serve the proposed commercial shopping center. Ms. Bonn stated that was correct. She indicated that the Commercial Neighborhood zoning for the property requires one parking space for every 180 square feet of floor area, and the proposed ratios in both retail options come out to about one parking space for every 200 square feet. She noted that in each situation, the traffic study looked at the Institute of Transportation Engineers standards and found that it would be acceptable. She added that there is some internal trip capture based on the assumption that some residents living in the apartment units would walk to the commercial uses.
