12. The following comments apply to the Site/Landscape Plan:
a) Per LUC Section 3.2.1(D)(2) street trees shall be placed at thirty-foot to forty -foot
spacing intervals in the center of all parkway areas (the parkway strip shall be in
accordance with Design and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for
Streets, Streetscapes, Sidewalks, Alleys and Other Public Ways). The trees shall
be placed at least eight (8) feet away from the edges of driveways and alleys, and
forty feet (shade trees)/fifteen feet (ornamental trees) (LUC 3.2.1(K) from any street
light. All driveway locations and utilities shall be shown to ensure compliance with
the Land Use Code.
b) After revising the site/landscape, please make sure the minimum species
diversity is provided in accordance with Section 3.2.1(D)(3) of the Land Use Code.
c) The landscape plan shall include all proposed vegetation, species and size. Per
Section 3.2.1(E)(2) landscape areas are those areas on the site that are not covered
by buildings, structures, paving or impervious surface.
d) Per LUC Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a) multi -family parking lot perimeter landscaping
requires that trees be provided at a ratio of one (1) tree per twenty-five (25) lineal
feet along a public street and one (1) tree per forty (40) lineal feet along a lot line
parking setback area.
e) Please note that LUC Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(b) addresses the need to screen
parking areas and needs to be addressed with this project development plan.
f) Per Section 3.2.2(M) and Section 3.2.1(E)(4) — (6) requires at least six (6)
percent and/or ten (10) percent of the interior space of any multi -family parking lot is
devoted to interior parking landscaping. The actual interior parking lot landscaping
percentages have not been shown. Specifically, all parking lots need to meet the
parameters addressed in LUC Section 3.2.1(5)(E)(a) — (e) including 3.2.2(B)(5)(a)
walkways shall have one (1) canopy shade tree per forty (40) lineal feet of walkways
planted in a landscape strip within five (5) feet of such walkway.
g) Per Section 3.2.1(E)(5)(c) parking lot landscaping shall be protected with
concrete curbing. The required raised concrete curbs shall be shown on the site
plan.
h) The Land Use Code per Section 3.2.1(E)(6) requires that landscape and building
elements be incorporated to screen the trash enclosures. A revised plan shall be
submitted to meet these standards, including scaled design elevations of the
enclosures.
i) Please clarify, it appears that some of the existing trees may be removed with
this proposed Project Development Plan and per LUC Sections 3.2.1(F) — (H) a
detailed tree mitigation plan shall be submitted for review by the City.
j) Address all visual clearance and sight distance triangle areas per Section
3.2.1(L) of the Land Use Code.

k) According to Section 3.2.2(C)(3) site amenities such as benches, bike racks, et
cetera should be provided. Please show site amenities in the respective parks and
open spaces.
Per Section 3.2.2(C)(4) please provide more bike racks at a ratio of at least one
per multi -family building located near the entrance but out of the way of pedestrian
walkways. Please add the bike rack locations to the Landscape Plan so there are
no conflicts with shade trees. A good idea may be to establish the location of the
electrical transformers, phone and cable t.v. pedestals and combine these facilities
with the bike rack. Then, these areas can receive special landscaping treatment to
minimize their visual impact.
m) Section 3.2.2(C)(5) and 3.2.2(D) requires that six-foot walkways within the site
provide direct well direct well-defined and separated circulation routes for vehicles,
bicycles, and pedestrians (please coordinate with Transportation Planning). All
pedestrian ways and sidewalk widths shall be shown on the respective plans.
n) Surrounding the multi -family unit footprints, shrubs and perennial plants shall be
shown on the site and noted in the legend.
o) Per Section 3.2.2(J) requires the vehicular use area be set back from a property
line with a five (5) foot landscape strip. The west and east property lines adjacent to
the vehicle parking areas do not provide a sufficient five- (5) foot landscape strip.
Please clarify if there is a collective parking arrangement (recorded joint access
agreement), if existing or proposed, this agreement shall be submitted and included
with this Project Development Plan.
p) In order to verify the actual number of parking spaces required for this project
development plan, additional information shall be submitted by means of a data
table and floor plans. This information is required in order to comply with LUC
Section 3.2.2(K).
17, The following comments apply to the architectural elevations,
a) All single-family dwelling elevations shall comply with LUC Section 3.8.15.
b) Section 3.5.1(A)-(H) requires a multi -family structure to achieve a compatible
design characteristic throughout. It is unclear to staff if this has been met since the
plans submitted do not show all residential building elevations and there appears to
be two (2) typical building footprints (two -unit and four -unit). Please indicate on the
elevations the height of the ridgelines, eaves, roof pitch, et cetera.
c) Please indicate all building dimensions, including doors, windows, and etcetera
on the building elevations.
d) Per Section 3.5.2(C)(1) requires that every multi -family front facade with a
primary entrance to a dwelling unit shall face the adjacent street to the maximum
extent practicable. Every front facade with a primary entrance to a dwelling unit
shall face a connecting walkway with no primary entrance more than two hundred
Page 4 of 7
Mark McCallum - myrtle court first filing c •nents.doc Page 5
(200) feet from a street sidewalk.
d) Per Section 3.5.2(C)(2) requires that every building containing four (4) or more

must be! compatible with the overall development based upon Land Use Code
standards including Section 3.4.7 Historic and Cultural Resources.
i) Scaled design elevations for the trash enclosures and all building elevations
need to be submitted.
10- The following comments apply to the Neighborhood Conservation, Medium Density
District (N-C-M) (LUC Section 4.7):
a) It is unclear if Section 4.7 (D) Land Use Standards (1) Density/Intensity of
Development is met with this project development plan. The Land Use Code

of the principal building that is located on the front portion of the lot.
d) Per Section 4.7(F)(1)(d) a rooftop or second floor addition shall not overhang
the lower front or side exterior walls of the existing building.

roof pitch of the existing dwelling unit. Additionally, the roof pitch of a dormer, turret
or similar architectural feature may not exceed 24:12 and the covered porch may be
flat whenever the roof of such porch is also considered to be the floor of a second -
story deck. All roof pitches shall be shown on all building elevations.
h) Per Section 4.7(F)(3) requires that whenever a lot has frontage along an
alley, any new off-street parking area located on such lot must obtain access from
such adjoining alley; provided, however, that such alley access shall not be required
when a new detached garage is proposed to be accessed from an existing driveway
that has a curbcut along a public street, or when alley access is determined by the
City Engineer to be a hazard to persons or vehicles. This standard has not been
met.
i) Per Section 4.7(F)(4) site design permanent open off-street parking areas for
all permitted principal uses, other than single-family dwellings, shall not be located
any closer to a public street right-of-way than the distance by which the principal

construed to preclude temporary parking in driveways. It is unclear to staff if this
standard is met.
10. Since the site is located within the neighborhood sign district, please indicate type of
signage.
11, Please clarify on the plan legend the respective individual track and open space
areas.
