As shown in Table 1, the proposed Modified Project would reduce the development by 240 units; from 496 units to 256
<br />units, a 48.4 percent reduction. This would result in a residential density of 58 units per acre, not including the OC
<br />Discovery Cube shared parking area of 1.42 acres (described below). The proposed Modified Project’s residential
<br />structures would be one-story lower in height and eliminate mezzanines (approximately 16-feet lower) and would be
<br />separated from the eastern side of the site by an additional 50 feet in increased building setback compared to the
<br />Original Project.
<br />
<br />The height of the centrally located parking structure would be reduced by approximately 31 feet and the highest point
<br />of the proposed structures (the roof elevator shaft) would be 15.5 feet lower. Additionally, the level of subterranean
<br />parking would be reduced in size by 13,300 square feet from approximately 40,000 square feet for the Original Project
<br />to approximately 26,700 square feet for the Modified Project.
<br /> Open Space, Recreation, and Other Amenities
<br />The Modified Project would provide 3 open space recreational courtyards totaling 12,920 square feet of exterior open
<br />space and recreation facilities; this is a reduction of 9,980 square feet from the 22,900 square feet of exterior open
<br />space within 5 open space recreational courtyards that were included in the Original Project. The open space areas
<br />are shown in Figure 2, Modified Project Open Space Plan.
<br />
<br />The types of exterior recreational amenities proposed for the Modified Project are the same as those provided for the
<br />Original Project and include outdoor kitchens/barbeques, fire pits, water features, seating areas, tables, and trellis
<br />covered patios. The Modified Project would also provide a rooftop amenity deck with a pool, spa, restrooms, poolside
<br />seating, and other amenities; however, the amenity deck would be 2,119 square feet smaller (Table 2).
<br />
<br />The interior residential amenities would also be reduced in comparison to the Original Project. As shown in Table 2,
<br />the Modified Project would not include the originally proposed Wellness Center, Community Room, Resident
<br />Services/Business Center room, Bicycle Repair Room, and Dog Washroom. In addition, the size of the Fitness Center
<br />would be reduced by 2,279 square feet.

<br /> Parking
<br />The Modified Project would provide onsite parking in both a central parking structure and a surface parking lot that
<br />would be located on the eastern and southern portions of the site, as shown in Figure 1. The central parking structure
<br />would provide 407 spaces that would be dedicated to the onsite residential uses. The surface parking lot would
<br />contain 284 parking spaces, of which 104 would be dedicated to the onsite residential uses and 180 would be shared
<br />with the OC Discovery Cube that is located across N. Main Street from the Project site and currently utilizes the site
<br />for 180 parking spaces.
