The following analysis will provide a summary of the project's <br />compliance with the MEMU standards. <br />MEMU Section 4.0 Development Standards Analysis <br />Development Active Urban District Proposed Project <br />Standard <br />Max. no. of stories No max./3 story min. 5 stories w/some mezzanines <br />Min. development 1.5 acres 5.18 acres <br />site area <br />Permitted street Fore Court Shop Front <br />level bldg.

The ground <br />level in particular uses several creative approaches to engage the street by incorporating a 2-story <br />volume, 2,474 square foot retail space at the southwest corner of the site that fronts onto the public <br />open space. This passive publicly-accessible park measures 33,881 square feet in size, over'/ of <br />an acre, and fronts onto Cabrillo Park Drive. It features a variety of amenities, such as seating <br />areas and a large lawn, which will allow people who reside in the project or work in the area to <br />gather and enjoy this substantial space. This publicly-accessible open space is provided in <br />addition to the private open space within the project itself. <br />The unit mix in the project is also innovative. There are live/work units at the ground floor along <br />First Street and along the East Fire Lane. In order to create variability at the roofline, mezzanine <br />units were included at the upper levels. The existing parking structure created a design challenge <br />75A-12
