<br />ntial is fully parked on-site- Discussed below.
<br /> Aside from the specific policy noted above, the DSP includes further regulations relating to
<br /> new development in the Downtown Commercial land use area including limiting new buildings
<br /> to two-stories (with three-stories permitted on a case-by-case basis following specific criteria
<br /> outlined in LDP-P.16). Additionally, since the project is within the DSP area, the Downtown
<br /> Design Guidelines also apply to the subject property which provide direction on building
<br /> location, height and mass, design, landscaping, etc.
<br /> Zoning: The lot is zoned Central Commercial (C-C). The C-C District has a maximum FAR of
<br /> 300-percent, maximum building height of 40 feet, and requires a minimum site area of 1 ,000
<br /> square feet per dwelling unit. The lot is also in the Core Area Overlay District. The purpose of
<br /> the Core Area Overlay District is to facilitate the development of smaller multi-family residential
<br /> or mixed multi-family residential/commercial and office projects containing 10 rental units or
<br /> less, such as the proposed project, by modifying some of the development standards. The
<br /> Core Area Overlay, requires a minimum of 50 square feet of private open space for each
<br /> bedroom in units with two or more bedrooms but does not require group open space and
<br /> modifies the normal parking standards (e.g., no visitor spaces are required and all spaces can
<br /> be uncovered). See below for further details on compliance with site requirements.
<br /> Site Description
<br /> The 8,510-square-foot subject site is relatively flat with an existing two-story 2,917-square-foot
<br /> commercial office building toward the front, as seen on Sheet AS-1 of Exhibit B and Figures 1
<br /> and 2 below. There are currently 10 surface parking spaces located behind the office building
<br /> which are accessed by a drive aisle on the east side of the building.
