Site Development Standards <br />There are no specific site development standards for the Planned Unit Development zoning <br />district in the City's Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of the PUD zoning designation is to allow <br />flexibility in determining site-specific development standards. The development proposal <br />consists of 5 individual parcels. Each design has the units arranged in an "L" shape on the <br />property to eliminate a cluster design by keeping the units tucked on the back of the property <br />and in keeping with the other surrounding residential buildings. Due to the width of the <br />driveway, proposed at 18-feet, it will be a private drive. The Fire Department has reviewed the <br />width and is supportive of it. <br />Although the proposed development standards do not meet the RM-25 development standards, <br />staff believes that the proposed site layout fits in with the Downtown area. The applicant has <br />strategically located the detached single-family homes along the south and rear sides of the <br />property; emphasizing and enhancing asingle-family streetscape along First Street. <br />Building Architecture <br />Since the original project submittal, the applicants have revised the designs to provide more <br />interest, various materials integration, and more articulation between the units. The buildings <br />will each have a specific color palate adding interest and diversity to the project's streetscape. <br />The roof material on all of the buildings is proposed as architectural grade composition with <br />"Ravenswood" for the new units and a complementary color "Charcoal" for the existing home. <br />The facade change to the existing residence will be similar in color and roofing material as to be <br />complementary to the new units. The proposed buildings are approximately 33 to 35-feet tall <br />when measured from finished grade to roof ridge. The units have a garage in the lower level <br />and two floors of living space above. Each unit has a covered front porch with steps providing <br />direct access to the living area. Staff believes that the proposed vinyl windows, if recessed, will <br />be complementary to the building design. Staff has discussed this with the applicant and has <br />added a condition of approval to reflect this. Each unit offers "historic" colors and varying <br />architectural features and materials to allow for diversity. <br />Parking <br />Access is gained from the new paved driveway off of First Street; no new curb cuts are <br />necessary. The four new residential units each contain afull-sized one car garage on the lower <br />level that is accessed from the existing joint-access driveway. Tandem parking would be <br />provided in each of the driveways with one additional guest parking space being provided <br />between lots 3 and 4. The existing home will have two dedicated parking spaces to be located <br />and striped off along the east side of the existing home. No parking will be allowed in any area <br />of the joint access driveway. <br />PUD-64, 4238 First Street LLC Planning Commission <br />Page 8 of 13 <br />
