There would be parking for about 200 cars (with the option of developing and adjacent property to allow a total of 350 cars). The site is 4.7 acres. The building footprint is 33,000 square feet. COMMENTS: The site was mistakenly considered part of the C.S.U. main campus in March of 1997 when the city-wide rezoning was done to implement City Plan.

If a Modification of Standard is requested, the request must be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board as either a stand-alone request or consolidated into a Project Development Plan (P.D.P.) Or, if it can be demonstrated that the required number of spaces are provided off -site, then a Modification would not be necessary. 2. In the H-M-N zone, the maximum building height is five stories. The minimum setback from Pitkin Street is 30 feet. For all setbacks, building walls over 35 feet in height shall be set back an additional one foot beyond the minimum required, for each two feet or fraction thereof of wall or building that exceeds 35 feet in height. Terracing or stepping back the mass of large buildings is encouraged. For any structure over 40 feet, a special height review would be required in accordance with Section 3.5.1 of the Land Use Code. 3. Please note that in the H-M-N zone, under Section 4.24(E), new buildings shall provide doorways that face the street, at grade level or slightly elevated.
