Modification of Standards Request Letter

RE: Relationship of Clubhouse to Street
Dear Staff:
The purpose of the Land Use Code is to improve and protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the
community. Some ways the Land Use Code achieves these objectives is by encouraging innovations in
land development, ensuring that all growth and development which occurs is consistent, increasing
public access to mass transit, sidewalks, trails, bicycle routes and other alternative modes of
transportation, as well as encouraging a wide variety of housing opportunities at various densities. It is
with those considerations in mind that this Modification of Standards Request Letter has been prepared.
This letter is provided pursuant to Section 2.8 of the City Land Use Code to document the site condition
proposed to deviate from the current standards.
The criteria that The Savoy is seeking to modify slightly is the “Relationship of Buildings to Streets and
Walkways” for Commercial Buildings per section 3.5.3(C) of the Land Use Code (LUC). Per Section
3.5.3(C) At least one (1) main entrance of any commercial or mixed-use building shall face and open
directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage.
In order to promote the design of the urban environment that is built to human scale and to create a
connected, useable amenity area for our community, our Clubhouse is centrally located within the site.
By locating the building in this area, The Savoy is unable to fully meet the requirements set forth by
section 3.5.3(C). While the building will be highly visible from the main entry coming off of Le Fever
Dr., The Savoy is proposing to incorporate, to the fullest extent possible, pedestrian corridors to promote
an obvious and an enhanced pedestrian circulation pattern throughout the site. The Savoy is proposing
two main pedestrian routes: one running north/south and the other east/west. These routes will have
increased sidewalk widths (8’) as well as narrowed crosswalks for increased safety, enhanced
landscaping including additional trees, pedestrian portals which draw the public into the site, seating
and gathering opportunities, bicycle parking, and pedestrian scale lighted bollards. They will function
very similarly to Major Walkway Spines. These routes will be easily identifiable for pedestrians looking to
make their way to the Clubhouse and to connect to neighboring properties. While not technically a Major
Walkway Spine, the east/west connection will meet the majority of those standards while bringing users
to a vibrant amenity area full of activities with aesthetically pleasing landscaping features. The
north/south connection runs along the west side of the clubhouse and the east/west connection runs
through the pocket park and along the south side of the club house. If the building were located adjacent
to one of the public streets, we do not feel that we would be able to achieve this same level of
connectivity. Please refer to the attached site plan for further clarification.
The Savoy | Modification Request | 09.12.2022
A precedent for this development pattern, (clubhouse being centrally located) can be seen in two adjacent
multi-family properties specifically, The Vibe directly west of The Savoy, as well as Terra Vida which is to the
southwest. Both The Vibe and Terra Vida have pedestrian corridors that run north/south through the site and
slightly jog around the club house. Both these developments are on larger parcels than The Savoy. Therefore,
we feel that the solution The Savoy is providing between the pocket park, the north/south connection, and the
east/west connection, is equal to or better than a plan which may comply explicitly with the standard.
The modification requested in this letter will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. The
modification requested will not hinder pedestrian circulation, rather enhance it. We are suggesting that
our design, along with the enhanced pedestrian connections, will promote the general purpose of the
standard for which the modification is requested equally well or better than would a plan which
complies with the standard. Lastly, the requested modification will not have an adverse impact on the
City’s capital and maintenance costs, nor are they expected to reduce the design life of the respective
improvements.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Adam Kantor
