encourage pedestrian, bicycle and transit activity. A mix of uses are
provided to further encourage a sense of community.

completed project.

a. 20 employees for business, 10 residents.
v. Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the
applicant.
a. The project intends to harmonize with the existing architectural
typology yet to provide an innovative building for such an important
site. In effort to maximize the use of the site, the building is
predominately lifted to the second and third floors. This allows for
parking and site/pedestrian engagement that would otherwise not
be achievable. A sense of scale is established through the use of
materials, landscaping and trellises.
vi. The applicant shall submit as evidence of successful completion of the
applicable criteria, the completed documents pursuant to these regulations for
each proposed use. The Planning director may require, or the applicant may
choose to submit, evidence beyond what is required in that section. Any
variance from the criteria shall be described.

x. Parking narrative describing the parking demand generated with consideration
of; the number of employees, tenants, and/ or patrons; the amount and
location of parking provided; where anticipated spill-over parking will occur;
and, any other considerations regarding vehicle parking.
a. 44 (+4 tandem) parking spaces are provided. With 20 employees
and 10 tenants, 18 parking spaces are left for patrons. With a total
of 12 dental chairs, it is believed this will be adequate. Should there
be a need for spill-over parking, it will likely occur along Plum Street
between College and Remington. Per zoning calculations building
should have between 27 and 47 parking spaces. 27<44<47
