CUP 2014 -49, VA No. 2014-07 & VA No, 2014 -08 December 8, 2014 Page 3 The proposed facility will comply with the City's parking standards. The zoning code requires one space for every three beds for a care home use plus three spaces per 1,000 square feet for office uses. Based on the proposed 42 resident capacity and 1,800 square feet of office area, a total of 20 parking spaces are required with 21 parking spaces provided. The primary vehicular access to the site will be from the south driveway, with the required parking located towards the rear of the property. The required trash /recycling enclosure and loading area will also be located adjacent to the parking area. Due to the nature of the care home service population, meals for the residents are provided daily in the dining room located within Building 5. In addition, the one and two -car garages that were converted without permits are proposed to be formally converted into common space such as a laundry room, recreation /exercise room, office and storage. In some cases, the garage has been reconfigured to provide additional bedrooms and common area for the residence of the individual units. Each residential structure will be licensed to provide supportive housing for a maximum of six adult residents (Exhibit 5). The two residential structures proposed to be incorporated into the campus will be enhanced to meet the City's Design Standards, including the rehabilitation of the exterior of the structures. Building 5 exterior rehabilitation includes reintroducing Craftsman architectural features into the front porch, the addition of alternate building materials, new single -hung wood windows on the front elevation, and wood window trim (Exhibit 6). A new six -foot high decorative block wall is proposed along a portion of the south property line that will be enhanced with landscape vine pockets. In addition, a six -foot high decorative wrought iron fence and gate is proposed in the front yard along Susan Street, with a two -foot landscape buffer between the property line and the fence (Exhibits 7). The proposed care home village will meet or exceed most provisions of the Two - Family Residence (R2) standards and the care home parking requirements with the exception of the following: General Plan and Zoning Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR -7), which primarily allows for lower density residential development and uses such as care facilities, at a maximum density of seven units per acre.
