Planning Commission Alfalfas Village Square Redevelopment June 13, 2013 The 111 residential units are located on the back (northern) half of the property in one building with three towers (Buildings C, D, and E) above a shared 156 space underground parking garage. The building towers are grouped together around a central courtyard and buildings D and E are connected by a three story primarily glass walkway. Each of the buildings is three stories and 40 feet tall as measured to the top of parapet wall. There is an entry element on building C that is 45 feet tall, a pop out on building D that is 41 feet 6 inches tall, and a cupola on building E which extends to 48 feet tall. The average floor plate of these building towers is 13,000 square feet. Buildings A and B contain 33,700 square feet of retail development and a community room and are located on the front (southern) half of the property. Building A includes 25,500 square feet of retail space including the 1,000 square foot community room. The structure is located on the southeast corner of the property adjacent to the South Boulder Road and Centennial Drive intersection. This building would be the location of a proposed Alfalfas grocery store. Building B contains 8,200 square feet of retail space separated into four tenant spaces. The two retail buildings are situated around a public plaza and outdoor dining and event area and would be served by a surface parking lot on the interior of the site. Site Layout Access and Circulation The applicant proposes to utilize two access points to serve the site. The first of these access points is located on South Boulder Road (Across from Jefferson Avenue) and will serve as the "entry drive" to the site. After entering the site, the entry drive will continue to the north where it will intersect another east/west access drive. The entry drive will provide access to 115 new retail surface parking spaces, and the existing surface parking lot located to the west of the subject property. A third lane will be added at the entry drive access point to provide an exclusive southbound right -turn lane exiting the site. 4
