Tentative Tract Map No. 2005-11 April 10, 2006 Page 2 Both parcels are accessible from a shared driveway easement off First Street. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) were recorded for the site which included provisions for shared ingress and egress, utilities, drainage, landscaping and maintenance. Project Description The subject site was originally part of an eight acre parcel owned by the St. Jeanne de Lestonnac School. St. Jeanne's has developed a child care center and athletic fields on the southern six acre portion of the site. Due to a strong office market in the area, in November 2005, St. Jeanne's received City Council approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-10 to subdivide the site and create the subject parcel. In addition, the Council approved Variance No. 2005-14 to reduce the required street frontage of the St. Jeanne's parcel. A tentative tract map is requested by Newport Real Estate Services in order to subdivide the two new two-story medical office buildings into 24 condominium units. Each building will consist of 11,098 square feet of area for a total combined area of 22,572 square feet. No specific tenants have been identified for these buildings (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5) . The design of the project demonstrate a high quality appearance appropriate for an office use and satisfies the design standards set forth in the Urban Design Element. The proposed building elevations are enhanced by natural slate veneer, a clear anodized aluminum eyebrow canopy, clear glazing on the first floor and green reflective glazing on the second floor. These architectural features will accentuate the exterior elevation and provide consistency with the architectural style of the First Street Professional District. A combination of trees, shrubs and ground cover will be planted within the setback area on First Street, the courtyard area between the two buildings and throughout the parking area (Exhibit 6). The project will have two points of access; the primary point of entry would be a private driveway easement at a signalized intersection at First Street and Golden Circle Drive. The second point of access will be from a driveway located at the western end of the project site. A total of 140 parking spaces will be provided on site. The proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 28 percent which is below the 50 percent permitted under the General Plan Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) land use designation 32A-3
