Design Narrative
We are proposing to add the extra occupancy rental house land use to the existing single-family
dwelling at 644 Remington St.
The existing house is a two-story residence with an unfinished basement, front concrete drive,
concrete sidewalks, and rear asphalt paving/parking area. This house has been used a rental
property, but has been vacant for the past 2 years. There is a total habitable area of 2,075 sf.
The habitable area would allow for over 350 sf needed per occupant. The house currently has 5
bedrooms. There are no plans for exterior alterations to the existing building.
Many of the neighboring properties on Remington St. are rentals. This house is in an area close
to CSU campus and is primarily inhabited by students. Directly to the North of the lot is a short-
term rental/ bed and breakfast. To the East of the lot, an alley separates the property from more
apartments and residences. Directly to the South of the lot is an apartment building at 200

Laurel St. The apartment building is also owned by the client. It utilizes a portion of 644
Remington St’s existing rear asphalt parking for apartment parking. The shared parking will be
established as an accessory use to the apartment complex. The parking spaces will be
designated with signage for both the extra occupancy rental house and the apartment complex.
Four parking spaces in the existing rear asphalt parking lot as parking will be reserved for 644
Remington St. We propose keeping the existing north 4’ buffer between the property line and
asphalt parking. The parking lot will be restriped with (7) standard 90 degree spaces and (5)
compact 90 degree spaces. Long term parking allows for 40% of the spaces to be compact. We
propose designating (2) standard parking spaces and (2) compact spaces for the extra
occupancy rental. The two-way drive aisle will be 23’-8” wide. Existing asphalt adjoining the
alley will be cut to provide zeroscaped 5’ buffer zones defining the entrance to the parking lot.
There is a requirement for 6% landscaping within the parking area. We are proposing
zeroscaping the 5’ buffer zones at the entrance of the parking lot, zeroscaping along the new
trash enclosure and zeroscaping an area across the aisle from the handicapped parking space.
The trash enclosure is proposed to be moved and updated per the city standards.
Thank you for the opportunity to present the Extra Occupancy Request. We look forward to
working toward a resolution and successful submittal.
Best,
