Surrounding land uses include office development to the north, office and vacant land to the south and west, and office and commercial uses to the east. Project Description The purpose of the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone is to introduce development forms and uses that will provide for the creation of a high- intensity, mixed-use urban village within a previously established mid and high-rise office environment. The overlay zone establishes standards which will fulfill objectives to create an active, mixed-use urban village where it is possible to live, work, shop and play within a short walk of each other. The Metro East Public Realm Amenity Plan, which is an appendix to the overlay zone, is an outline of streetscape and open space improvements that reinforce the new uses proposed for the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone. The improvements identified are in addition to the normal infrastructure improvements that are consequent to new development. These improvements are proposed to ensure that the public realm complements and supports the introduction of residential uses into this commercial district. In conjunction with the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zoning actions, NDC Development is proposing to construct the First and Cabrillo mixed-use development, a project consisting of two high-rise residential towers and ancillary retail uses. This development will consist of two high-rise buildings, a 22-story tower at the northern end of the site, and a 23-story tower on the southern end of the site. These two towers will contain a total of 374 condominium units: the North Tower will contain 183 for-sale units and the South Tower a total of 191 for-sale units. In addition, approximately 8,800 square feet of commercial space will be provided within the project, with a total of 4,400 square feet provided within each tower. Parking has been provided at a rate of 2.06 parking stalls per unit for the project. Parking will be located within the existing four-level parking structure that contains 669 parking spaces and at grade adjacent to the structure where 105 surface parking stalls are provided. These parking areas combined will provide 774 parking stalls. Based on a parking demand of two parking stalls per unit, a total of 748 parking spaces are required for the project (Exhibits 3 and 4) . 758-4
