One Boardwalk Place Major Amendment
Planning Objectives
This is a Major Amendment request to change the approved project (Serrano PDP Subdivision) from
six 3-unit, 2 bedrooms to three 8-unit, 2-bedroom buildings. Overall gross density is 10.48 dwelling
units per acre. This multifamily residential project proposes (3) three, 2-story, 8-plex buildings that
would be constructed fronting along Lemay and Boardwalk Avenues. The project will utilize the
existing infrastructure and underground utilities and place a new centralized parking lot in the
center of the project. Both the size and height of building were chosen to relate to the existing
Hamlet townhomes directly to the west while being a transitional scale from the Lodge at
Miramont to the north and the existing single family neighborhoods to the south and east. The
proposed building will feature 1,000 - 1,100 S.F. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units.
The site consists of 2.29 acres at the southwest corner of Lemay Avenue and Boardwalk and is
currently zoned LMN — Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood District. A stand-alone Modification
request to increase the density was approved in June of this year.
Other enhancements to the site include areas for outdoor gathering and community gardens, a new
project ID sign.
The landscape plan basically has not changed from the approved plans, with the exception of
foundation planting and parking lot screening.
The buildings are two-story. The architecture of One Boardwalk is based on a "Craftsman" or
"Bungalow" style with elements such as gable forms with generously overhanging eaves, timber
beam corbels and brackets, and projecting shed roof dormer elements and projecting window
bays. This style was chosen to complement the Lodge at Miramont and Hamlet mufti -family
projects to the north and west while fitting in with the single family residences to the south and
east. The use of exterior materials is also in keeping with this style with the use of different siding
types at various height separated by substantial horizontal belt boards, corner trim and the use of
detailed window trims. High quality exterior materials were chosen such as synthetic stone
veneer, cement fiber horizontal lap siding, board and batten siding as well as taper -sawn
shingles, for their low long term maintenance, visual appeal and ability to reduce the overall scale
of the building. All 8 units of each building have an extensive patio or balcony and the main entry
into the breezeway is inviting yet not overbearing. The exterior perimeter and roof line of the
building is well articulated with numerous projections and steps down in scale at the ends of the
building.
There will be three freestanding garage building containing a total of 24 garage spaces. 29 spaces are
provided on the site for a total of 53 spaces. The garage buildings are designed and detailed in a
similar manner and use articulated wall and roof planes as well as multiple siding and trim
materials to meet and exceed the applicable provisions of the Land Use Code.
