<br />�he project has incorporated a contemporary architectural design.) Elements such as stone veneer, multiple
<br />brickveneers, metal panels, ceramic tile, metal canopies, fiatand metal seamed roofs all assist in conveying
<br />a modern design. The color scheme encompasses earth tones of tans, browns and greys. Courtyards are
<br />provided along Main Street, Edgewood Road and the internal east elevation to break up the massing and
<br />create distinct building sections. k addition, units along Edgewood Road will front the street, providing
<br />direct street access and assisting in activating the street.)
<br />A combination of common and private open spaces will be incorporated into the project design.
<br />Approximately, 34,630 square feet of common open space will be dispersed throughout the project. These
<br />areas will consist of ground level courtyards with amenities such as a pool and spa, seating areas, tables and
<br />chairs, shade trellis, fire pits, and enhanced landscaping. A rooftop amenity deck will also be provided that
<br />will include a pool and spa, cabanas, fire pits, lounge chairs, shade structures, a club room, and a fitness
<br />center. Other common area amenities such as a wellness room, chefs kitchen, dog wash room, bike repair
<br />room, bike share, Amazon parcel lockers, and entertainment room, will be incorporated into the building
<br />and will provide residents with opportunities for on-site services and entertainment space. In addition,
<br />brivate open space in the form of patios or balconies will be provided for each unit4 These spaces will range -
<br />from 53 to 77 square feet in size.
<br />An upscale and elaborate landscape pallet is proposed for this project. The applicant is proposing to retain
<br />the mature Ficus trees along the east property line. kn arborist report was prepared, with mitigation
<br />measures included to ensure the trees remain in a healthy condition pre- and post-construction'The report _
<br />also identified 8 trees (7 Sweet Gum trees and 1 Cypress tree) along the eastern property line that are in an
<br />unhealthy condition and are recommended for removal. Additional trees similar in size and type to the
<br />mature trees will be planted to fill in areas where trees were removed or are missing. In addition, the
<br />applicant will raise the height of the wall adjacent to the single-family dwellings from six to eight feet in
<br />height.
<br />Given the number of parcels affiliated with this proposal, the lots will need to be combined into a single
<br />development parcel. Prior to issuance of building permits, a voluntary lot merger will need to be applied for
<br />and be approved. This application is ministerial, with no Planning Commission or City Council action
<br />required.
<br />This project is required to comply with the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance (H00). To satisfy the
<br />provisions of the H00, applicant is proposing to pay an in -lieu fee in excess of $6,000,000. See Table 4 below
<br />for a breakdown of the proposed H00 fee.

<br />Commented [DHS]: As explained to me by
<br />Orange Architects, Contemporary style is
<br />needed due to the size of the project
<br />Commented [DH6]: If this means front
<br />doors will be on Edgewood then this is the
<br />first wdve heard of this. We have been told
<br />the only access would be the Amazon
<br />lockers.
<br />Commented [DH7]: How is this going to be
<br />accomplished for each unit? Itishardto
<br />imagine how this will look based on the
<br />drawing provided. It looks like units on the
<br />outside of structures will have private open
<br />space facing the streets and Interior units will
<br />have private open space facing each other,
<br />not so private.
<br />Commented [DHB]: Appendix a Tree
<br />Evaluation and Preservation Study, Executive
<br />Summary states "The largest trees on site,
<br />the #117 Aleppo pine, Pinus holepensis; and
<br />#121 cypress, an unknown eupressus species,
<br />may date back to a previous site use, but are
<br />probably no more than 70 or 80 years old.
<br />The Aleppo Pine has a life expectancy of over
<br />150 years
<br />Ihttps://selectree.calpoly.edu/tree-
<br />detail/pinus-haleoensisl. We had an
<br />independent arborist look at the tree and his
<br />evaluation is the tree is healthy, properly
<br />trimmed and expected to live another 100
<br />years. It should NOT be removed.
<br />171,1901 ------ Commented [DH9]: Fvl...
<br />exterior At $210,000 to $240,000 to build a low
<br />Income housing unit this equates to 25 to 29
<br />units.
