STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
A. SUMMARY:
The proposed development achieves many of the goals of the
city's Land Development Guidance System. This development is
appropriate in concept and in detail to the character of the
land and to the neighborhood in which it is located.
B. OVERVIEW:
The development features 26 apartment units arranged in 4-
plex and 6-plex buildings along a central vehicular roadway.
The units will have 2 bedrooms each and will be 2 story
frame construction with wood siding, and shake shingled
roofs. Eighteen of the apartments (69%) will have garages,
fireplaces and two story open spaces. The target rental
market will be graduate students, married students or
university employees. The land is previously undeveloped
and is adjacent to existing single-family developments
(south and west), the Matador Apartments (east) and to the
rear parking lots of several commercial businesses (north).
The partnership which owns the land intends to own the
entire development as income property. Subdivision of the
land is not proposed.
C. APPROPRIATENESS:
The development satisfies many of the City's policy goals as
indicated in the following statements:
1. The development is compatible with its prime
adjacency, the Matador Apartments. It is also
compatible by site design and details with other
adjacent uses.
2. The development will not have adverse traffic
impacts to west Elizabeth Street, its main access
point.
3. The development is in accordance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
4. The Development has or will have adequate utility
capacities. All utilities and services will be
provided in accordance with all applicable design
standards.
5. Emergency vehicular access will be provided
through the development.
6. Street lighting and security lighting will be
provided.
7. The development site contains no known resources
such as wildlife habitat, significant vegetation,
wetlands, mineral deposits, ecologically sensitive
areas or areas of agricultural importance. There
are also no significant topographic or geologic
conditions which would be unfavorable to the
proposed construction.
8. Applicable environmental standards will not be
violated by the development as proposed.
9. The site design is the direct result of existing
adjacent uses. Vehicular traffic is concentrated
at the center of the land. The living units
orient toward the perimeter. The living areas and
patio of each unit faces the landscaping buffer
along the irrigation canal or toward the adjacent
open space. The nearest adjacent building to
these living units is 52 feet away.
10. The units will be well insulated.
11. The maximum building height is 26 feet.
12. Landscape materials and earth berms will be used
to maximize the effective privacy of each
individual dwelling unit and of existing adjacent
dwelling units.
13. Adequate parking spaces are provided on the site.
Garages and driveway parking spaces are provided
at 18 of the 26 apartments. Two parking spaces are
provided for each dwelling.
14. Sidewalks are provided to encourage pedestrian and
bicycle access throughout the site.
