VTTM No. 2016-01 <br />April 25, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />Subdivision Summary —The applicant proposes a condominium subdivision in conjunction with a 38 - <br />unit multiple -family residential development. All units will take access from a single private lane off <br />Harbor Boulevard, and four units will have frontage directly onto Harbor Boulevard. A tract map is <br />proposed for the project that will allow the sale of the 38 residential units as condominiums. <br />Existing infrastructure in the area will be upgraded to service the project. These upgrades include <br />construction of new driveways, sidewalks, curbs and gutters; planting of new trees in the <br />landscape parkway; and removal of existing driveways, all per City standards. <br />Development Summary — The project proposes 38 townhome residences constructed as tuck -under <br />units or in a courtyard style with common areas to serve the residents of the development. Of the 38 <br />residences, eight are proposed to contain two bedrooms with 1,215 square feet. The remaining 30 <br />are proposed to contain three bedrooms with 1,477 to 1,751 square feet. Some of the three bedroom <br />units will also contain the option for a den or fourth bedroom. Each residential structure will take <br />vehicular access from private alleys and will contain two -car garages. With the exception of the four <br />units containing frontage on Harbor Boulevard, all units will face common area courtyards and <br />paseos. The four units on Harbor Boulevard will contain enclosed front -yard patios to establish <br />additional privacy for the residents and to enhance the structure's presence on the surrounding <br />streetscape. To generate the sense of a traditional courtyard -style residential neighborhood, a single <br />architectural style is proposed for the structures, with variations in color and materials among each <br />style to enhance the uniqueness of each entry. <br />The project will provide 76 parking spaces inside garages, and an additional 19 spaces on surface <br />parking along private streets, for a total of 95 on-site parking spaces. The proposed parking exceeds <br />the minimum 67 parking spaces that are required by the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific <br />Plan. Guests and visitors will be able to park in parallel parking spaces on the private lane, and a <br />disabled -access parking space will be provided adjacent to the primary common open space area. <br />Access to the project will be provided from a single entrance on Harbor Boulevard. No gates or other <br />private entries are proposed at this time. <br />A variety of open spaces are planned for the development. Exterior amenities include a recreation <br />area, courtyards and paseos. The primary recreation area will feature a barbecue area, tot lot and <br />playground equipment, small lawn, and tables and benches. A small dog park, basketball court, <br />and landscaping are proposed at the secondary open space area in the western area of the <br />project. In addition, courtyards and paseos will provide additional open space areas and will be <br />programmed with amenities for passive recreation (Exhibits 4 and 5). <br />Inclusionary Housing — The proposed project is subject to the requirements of the Housing <br />Opportunity Ordinance (HOO), which contains inclusionary unit requirements for projects that consist <br />of the construction of five or more dwelling units (SAMC Sections 41-1900 at al.).
