EIR No. 2010 -01, AA No. 2014 -01, <br />GPA No. 2014 -01 <br />April 14, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />The Park View at Town and Country Manor tower is proposed to be built on a 2.5 acre section of <br />the site that is located at the southwest corner of the campus. This area of the campus is <br />currently vacant and consists of both a parking lot and landscaped area. A total of 210 parking <br />spaces are currently provided for the existing project. <br />The site is surrounded by office development to the north, Santiago Park to the south, office <br />development to the east and multi- family residential (City Place) and office development to the <br />west (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3). <br />Project Description <br />The applicant, representing Town and Country Manor, is requesting approval of the Park View at <br />Town and Country Manor tower, an independent living structure for seniors, on its existing campus. <br />The proposed project will add 174 independent living units to the southwest corner of the campus <br />and will be marketed solely to seniors 55 years of age and older The tower will not contain any "for <br />sale" units and will be a regulated residential care facility for the elderly. Fees will be charged for <br />services such as common dining, cleaning, laundry, and recreational activities provided for each <br />unit. <br />Park View will contain a total of 348,378 square feet of area, including 230,670 square feet of <br />residential and ancillary/support uses and an additional 117,708 square feet for the three level <br />subterranean parking lot. As proposed, the building will be eight stories and 97 feet in height at its <br />highest point. Within the three -level subterranean parking structure, a total of 260 parking spaces <br />will be provided. Additionally, one storage unit for each residential unit in the tower will be provided <br />within the lowest (63) level of the parking structure. <br />Park View at Town and Country Manor will serve as the cornerstone to the campus with its <br />location at East Memory Lane and Lawson Way. The Park View tower has a contemporary <br />design that has been guided by Renaissance and classical architectural influences. The main <br />residential floors project vertically from the ground level common areas, highlighted by pilasters <br />present at the main building facades. The use of glazing at balcony railings and in storefront <br />windows at the ground floor and penthouse level is a key aspect that speaks to the building's <br />contemporary nature. A prominent cornice, reminiscent of classical architecture, helps to define <br />and characterize the roofline (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6). <br />In addition to the high -rise tower, the applicant is proposing to construct a one -story, 6,413 square <br />foot aquatics and wellness center that will serve as an additional amenity for the residents of the <br />entire Town and Country Manor campus. Finally, the entry to the building will be remodeled and <br />expanded by an additional 914 square feet to provide an enhanced entry to the facility. <br />75A -4 <br />
