Parcel 2, approximately 3.03 acres in size, encompasses the <br />block bounded by Santiago Street to the east, Santa Ana Boulevard to the <br />south, poinsettia Street to the west and Civic Center Drive to the north. <br />The properties are surrounded by industrial to the north and south, a <br />combination of industrial, residential and the Regional Transportation <br />Center (RTC) to the east, and a mixture of industrial and residential to <br />the west (Exhibits 1 and 2). <br /> <br />Project Description <br /> <br />The Santiago Street Lofts project is a 108 live/workshop/studio <br />development on two parcels (Exhibits 3 and 4). Units in the proposed <br />project will include two car garages and work studio space on the ground <br />floor and two levels of living space on the second and third levels. The <br />units incorporate five floor plans ranging in size from approximately <br />1,500 square feet to 2,300 square feet. The individual buildings will be <br />38 feet in height with an open floor design including individual bedrooms, <br />ki tchens and restrooms. Uni ts are designed to provide front entrances <br />facing the street where possible and along pedestrian/drive aisle areas <br />for non-street frontages (Exhibit 5). <br /> <br />The south parcel will consist of 36 live-work units within seven buildings <br />that are situated around a common courtyard and pedestrian/drive aisle. <br />The north parcel will contain 72 units configured within 13 buildings. <br />This parcel is comprised of a common courtyard that creates community <br />gathering plazas, artwork that changes as the community changes, a paseo <br />that establishes pedestrian connectivity throughout the site and drive <br />aisles that are designed to be used as both vehicular and pedestrian <br />courtyards. <br /> <br />The Santiago Street Lofts architecture is reflective of the surrounding <br />area suggesting the appearance of industrial buildings that have undergone <br />adaptive re-use. The Loft design incorporates a variety of distinct but <br />contemporary industrial architecture (Exhibit 6). The architectural <br />style is expressed through the use of diverse, high quality materials such <br />as sandstone tile, brick, stucco finishes, glass-paned garage type doors, <br />commercial windows and steel canopies. <br /> <br />75C-6 <br />
