City Council Meeting Minutes May 1, 2012 Page 6 of 17 In addition to the SRU, the proposed development requires City Council approval of a Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Subdivision Plat. The Preliminary PUD and Plat process is designed to look at site planning issues and yard / bulk standards, such as building location, building heights, parking, drainage, and traffic impacts. If the project is granted preliminary approval, the applicant will have one year in which to apply for Final PUD and Final Plat approval. The Final PUD and Plat application will focus on the final details of the proposal including architectural details, landscaping, drainage detailing, and internal roadway design. Building Massing and Architecture: Building A is the largest of the five buildings and is located on the northern half of the site in approximately the same location as the former Safeway building. This structure is three stories in height and includes a parapet height of 40' interior to the site. The remaining portion of the building is 38' in height. Building A forms the visual terminus of Jefferson Avenue. The north side (back) of the structure is also three stories, similar to the adjacent Village Condominiums. Building A would contain 79 apartment units, which wrap around and conceal a 240 space parking garage. Building A is 86,700 SF in size (excluding the parking garage). Building B is located to the south of Building A across the east-west drive. This apartment building is situated in the center of the site and the majority of the building is three stories tall. The building steps down from three to two stories on the western end adjacent to the existing strip mall. The three story component of Building B is 38' tall and the two story component is 28' tall. Building B is 36,100 SF in size and contains 34 dwelling units. Building C is the most visible of the buildings as it is located on the corner of South Boulder Road and Centennial Drive. The structure is two and three stories, and the building ranges from 28' to 38' tall. The 38' portion of the structure is centered on the building. 28' sections of the building are located at the most visible locations, the northeast comer, the south and southeast portions of the building. Building C totals 41,600 SF and includes 39 units. Buildings D and E contain a total of 9,500 SF of retail space and 8 apartment units. These structures are located on South Boulder Road directly across the street from the single family homes in the Scenic Heights subdivision and are each two stories in height (28'). The structures are separated by a pedestrian plaza. A trash enclosure which would serve the retail buildings would be located across the entry drive to the west. The exterior design of the trash enclosure would be highly detailed and the area around the structure would be landscaped similar to the remainder of the site. Parking: The proposed development includes 323 parking spaces. Of these, 240 spaces are located in the parking garage in Building A, 83 on-street parking spaces are located on the interior of the site and 14 parallel parking spaces would be striped along Centennial Drive. The parking proposed does not meet the requirements of the LMC for apartments. The applicant has indicated they have provided residential parking which is
