Resolution No. 2019-xx <br />Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br />The proposed project requires two deviations through <br />incentives/concessions: building setbacks (front) and <br />encroachments, as well as one deviation through a waiver in <br />permitted building types and architectural styles. The three <br />deviations are described as follows: <br />First, maintaining the required 10’-0” front yard setback <br />would involve the significant loss of mixed-use space and <br />the loss of six (6) three-bedroom units at approximately <br />1,185 sq. ft. In addition, implementing the required front yard <br />setback standard would result in the building being set back <br />an additional 6-7 feet from the front property line, resulting in <br />a significant loss of parking area and common open space. <br />In order to maintain the current proposed unit count, the <br />Applicant would be required to construct an additional level, <br />resulting in a different type of construction (steel-frame <br />versus wood), further increasing development costs. In <br />addition, in order to maintain the current parking count the <br />developer would be required to construct additional parking <br />either above- or below-grade, resulting in increased <br />construction costs and/or a loss of additional residential <br />units. <br />Second, maintaining the maximum encroachment of 2’-0” <br />into the required street side setbacks would result in the <br />significant loss of the required private open space balconies. <br />In addition, implementing the required standard would result <br />in the building being setback an additional 5-6 feet along the <br />eastern and western property lines, resulting in a significant <br />loss of parking area, common open space and residential <br />units. In order to maintain the current parking count and <br />open space, the Applicant would be required to construct <br />additional parking, resulting in increased construction costs <br />and/or a loss of additional residential units. <br />Third, the proposed building is required to be designed as <br />one of the building types and architectural styles permitted <br />by the UN-2 zone. Pursuant to the TZC, the building type <br />and architectural style are considered development <br />standards that are eligible to be waived if they physically <br />preclude the construction of the project. The project <br />proposes a Hybrid Courtyard Building Type and Main Street <br />Commercial architectural style which are only permitted in <br />the UN-2 zone in certain locations of the TZC, but not <br />permitted on the project site. However, if the project were <br />designed as any other permitted building type or <br />architectural style the project would result in a significant <br />1-12
