The majority of off street parking is located to the rear of the complex out of street view. As previously noted, construction is complete on the Scenic Avenue/Tenth Street and North Third Street realignment project, which included the re-design of the North Third Street and Scenic Avenue intersection. A portion of the old North Third Street roadbed is no longer needed and it is the City's intent to vacate that portion of the right-of way, File 08155. The old roadbed, located in the southeast corner of the project site, is highlighted in Figure 1. Access: The project has two ingress and egress points: The primary access is a three lane driveway at Scenic Avenue that aligns with the new realigned Upton Road. The second ingress/egress access point is at the southeast corner of the property at the realigned North Third Street. Due to the proximity to the intersection of North Third Street and Scenic Avenue ingress/egress will be right in/right out only. Currently this access paint is part of the abandoned North Third Street roadbed and until the right-of way vacation is complete, the City of Central Point Public Works Department has agreed to grant the applicant an access easement across the roadbed as evidenced by the interoffice memo dated February 21, 2008 {Attachment D). The site plan identifies a twelve (12) foot wide strip within the private drive along the south property line as a reciprocal access easement. The applicant is prepared to record a reciprocal crass access easement for that portion of the private drive. Landscaping: The project includes the following landscaping characteristics assubmitted {Attachment C, Sheet L1): • Frontage Landscaping: A frontage landscape row of trees, shrubs and lawn along Scenic Avenue; ^ lnterior Landscaping: The interior landscape is designed to enhance each building and unit entrance to include a planting area designed around the play area and community building. The landscape areas separate the parking areas and pedestrian walkway. Landscaped planting and grass areas are designed to be compatible with the residential neighborhood. Parking: Review of the parking is based on the pending amendment to Section 17.fi4.100 relative to the design dimensions for parking. The project provides 108 parking spaces of which 48 are covered carport spaces thus meeting the number of required spaces of 17.64.040 (A}(2}. The proposed amendment to Section 17.64.100 is a modification to the design standards for a parking space. The amended dimension standards provide for a parking space nine (9) feet in width and nineteen (19) feet in length, and be designed with a minimum back-up space of 24 feet. The amendment provides far a maximum deduction of two (2) feet for overhang when the curb serves as a wheel stop. The parking spaces as submitted are seventeen (17} feet in length. The back-up aisle width along the private drive is designed to be 22 to 23 %2 feet. Compliance with the pending dimensional schedule is required and can be achieved by minor modification to the site plan. Page 2 of 5 FINDINGS: See Attachment I ISSUES: The applicant's preferred site plan is designed utilizing the pending performance zoning standards of the TOD MMR zoning district. The applicant bas also provided a modified site plan {Attachment A-1 to be distributed) illustrating development of the property under current R-3 development standards. In addition, the City has proposed an amendment to Section 17.64 Off Street Parking and Loading, updating the parking dimension standards. In the context of the proposed CPMC amendments, the following listed issues are noted and discussed: 1. Arterial Street Setbacks: Scenic Avenue, along the east property line, has recently been upgraded to urban standards as a collector street, and is proposed in the revised Transportation System Plan to function as a collector street. However, currently Scenic Avenue is a designated secondary arterial street. According to CPMC Section 17.60.090 Special Setback Requirements, Subsection A, projects within any residential district must set back a minimum of 60 feet from the centerline of the secondary arterial street. The purpose of the setback is to allow far the future expansion of the street for its intended purpose. Based on recent construction the intended purpose of Scenic Avenue is to serve as a collector street. The City has not requested any additional right-of--way from the project, for either collector or arterial purposes. Based on the recent construction to collector standards and the pending re-designation of Scenic Avenue from a secondary arterial to a collector street, the review of the project did not take into consideration application of Section 17.60.090{A). 2. Distance Between Principal Buildings: The applicant has elected to use the pending performance standards of the TOD-MMR district. Within the TOD- MMR district, the setback distance between principal buildings is five (5) feet for detached buildings. Currently Section 17.28.070(C) R-3, Residential Multiple Family requires a setback distance between principal buildings based on the height of the buildings, with a minimum distance of 12 feet. Based on the height of the proposed buildings, the required setback distance would be 20 feet between each building. To comply with this requirement it would be necessary for the applicant to modify the site plan by joining the principle buildings as illustrated in Attachment A-1 (to be distributed). It is the applicant's preference to use the pending design standards of the TOD-MMR district to achieve a superior site plan, with the understanding that approval of the site plan per Attachment A is conditional, and subject to adoption of the proposed amendment to Section 17.28. 3. Parking Space Length and Aisle Width: The modification to CPMC Section 17.64.100 provides design standards for off-street parking spaces, including a maximum deduction of two {2) feet for overhang when a curb serves as a wheel stop. Such an amendment would still require minor modif cations to the site plan, which can be easily accommodated by the applicant. 4. Third Street Road Right-of Way Vacation: The applicant is aware that the abandoned portion of North Third Street that resulted from the realignment of Third Street must be vacated and the applicant has agreed to participate in the vacation process. The City is processing the road right- Page 3 of S of--way vacation, File 08155. It is anticipated that the applicant will acquire ownership of that portion of the vacated right-of--way as shown in Attachment B. S. Front Yard Setback: As currently configured, the project site is classified as a corner lot. In the case of a corner lot, the property line having the shortest street frontage is defined as the front lot line. Although the subject property is triangular, approximately 80 ft. of the project site is located along North Third Street and is recognized as the front lot line. As noted above, the applicant elected to use the pending performance standards of the TOD-MMR district. The front yard setback in the TOD-MMR is a minimum often (10) feet, with a maximum of f Been (15}. The project provides approximately a fifteen {15) foot front yard setback. It was determined that at the time of this application that the property had legal frontage on North Third Street and that the front yard setback would be measured from the sidewalk of the realigned North Third Street. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Setbacks: Prior to issuance of any building permit, the applicant shall meet the minimum setback distance between buildings or connect the buildings as illustrated in Attachment A-1. The applicant also has the option, as described in Attachment A, to develop the property in accordance with the proposed CPMC amendments, and subject to adoption of Chase amendments. 2. Parking. The applicant shall either: a. Modify the site plan as necessary to comply with the parking standards as set forth .. .......... . in the existing Section 17.64; or b. If adopted, modify the site plan as necessary to comply with the parking standards as set forth in the pending modifications to Section 17.64. 3. Third Street Vacation. The applicant shall continue to participate in the right-of way vacation application, File 081 SS for the abandoned portion of North Third Street that resulted from the realignment of North Third Street. 4. Access. Prior to issuance of any building permits, the applicant shall prepare and record reciprocal cross-access easements for that portion of the private drive located along the southern property line. 5. Misc. Conditions. Conditions as listed by the Central Point Public Works Department (Attachment E), Central Point Building Department {Attachment F}, Fire District 3 (Attachment G) and Rogue Valley Sewer Services {Attachment H). 6. Signage. The applicant shall submit a signage plan prior to building permit approval. Said plan shall be consistent with the provisions of CPMC Section 15.24 and Section 17.67.050. CPMC Section 17.08.010 Lot Line, Front Page 4 of 5 General Note: Site Plan Approval shall lapse and become void one (1) year following the date on which it becomes effective unless construction has commenced.

The landscaping is designed to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, incorporating substantial lawn areas and uses of trees and shrubs typically used in this region. Tree species will be selected from the City's approved tree list. Trees will be planted at the site's street frontage per 92.36.090. Street tree species will be chosen with the Cities approved species list and wil! be a minimum of 1.5" diameter per 12.36.100. Lawns, shrubs, and trees will be irrigated via an automatic irrigation system utilizing sprayer sprinkler heads in lawns and drip irrigation in planter beds. Irrigation backflow devices}will be installed per building code. B. The site plans allows for two ingress and egress points to public streets. Primary ingress and egress is accommodated at the NW comer of the site. A three lane driveway at Scenic Ave., with left only lane, aligns with the newsy realigned Upton Road per consultation with Public Works. The second ingresslegress point is at the SE comer of the site at the newly realigned 3R° Street. Due to proximity to the 3~D St.IScenic Ave intersection, ingresslegress will be right in/right out only. The interior, two lane drives, will be privately owned but will be constructed per city street standards per the request of Public Works. C. In compliance with 17.84.040, the site plan meets minimum off-street parking with 108 parking spaces. Code requires not less.than two spaces per dwelling unit with one additional visitor parking space for every four dwelling units. The site plans calls for forty-eight (4$) covered parking spaces via carports, also in compliance with 17.64.040. Driveway and parking areas shall be paved and sufficiently drained. Parking spaces shat! be delineated with painted striping. Compact parking spaces shall not exceed 25% (27 spaces) of total parking spaces. Driveway and parking areas shall be sufficiently illuminated and reflected away from adjacent streets and neighboring properties. Perimeter parking wilt include curbing to prohibit vehicle encroachment to surrounding properties andlor landscape areas. ~~ O~IOM1TUXifT D. Two project signs are included on-site. One at the south comer of the driveway on Scenic Ave, and one on the north comer of the driveway on 3e° Street. Project signs will be limited in size, not to exceed 8'W X 4'H. Project signs will be set back a minimum of 9n' from street frontage to avoid sight limitations at driveway street frontage. E. In Dec. '07 the Project Architect, Dan Horton, me# with Mark Maran of Fire District 3 to review the site plan for sufficiency and accessibility of fire fighting facilities. Fire District 3 approved the site plan as designed. The Fire District dictated the placement of three {3} hydrants on site located at the three perimeter comers as marked on the accompanying site plan. F. Dwelling Units on Cui-de-sac streets -Not Applicable. G. The site resides in a neighborhood consisting primarily of single family homes. The site is positioned at a four way, newly redesigned, controlled intersection. It is fronted by Scenic Ave wrapping nearly all of the eastern and nor#hem property edges. North 3R° Street fronts the southeast comer of the property. Across Scenic Ave., to the east, is a moderately sized single-family subdivision built in 2D00. Across 3R° street to the southeast is a comer neighborhood market. Currently the market is vacant and for sale. Directly west of the site is a one-acre parcel of land with a renovated farm house. Southwest of the site is Scenic Middle School To the south is an undeveloped parcel of land with R2 zoning anticipated for condo development in two to three years. Site characteristics are highly suitable for residential construction. The topography of the site has a slight slope rising ten feet from front to back. The site plan is engineered to take advantage of this slope by integrating asplit- face retainer wall about 30° in height set back approximately 15' from the curb face on Scenic Ave. The retainer wall will allow the site to be slightly flattened at its highest points while elevating buildings above street level thereby creating street separation from dwelling units with both safety and curb appeal in mind. Two primary objet#ives influenced project design. First, was to design a project that would integrate nicely into the predominant single-family neighborhood, producing an attractive complex with great curb appeal. The majority of off-s#reet parking is located to the rear of the complex and ou# of s#reet view. Townhouses, versus apartment flats, are located at street frontage, emulating single-family, attached raw houses along Scenic Ave. Sixteen, two bedroom townhomes wilt be contained in four buildings, with four units each. Exterior building elevations are designed with acraftsman-like architectural flair with varying rooflines alternating gabled and semi-hipped roofs. Each unit floor plan is offset from the next, to create architectural interest. Each townhouse will have a small front porch connected by a path to the ci#y sidewalk on Scenic Ave. The townhouses will be separated from street frontage by the retention wall discussed above. The street side of the retention wall will be heavily planted with a combination of lawn, attrac#ive shrubs and street trees. The back or parking lot side of the townhouses will each include a second small patio with exterior storage providing a place to store barbecues and bicycles. The second objective while designing the project was to maximize the density of the site while limiting design #o two story buildings. All interior buildings are designed as apartment flats versus split level (townhouse} floor plans. A total of four apartment buildings including a 6-piex, 9 0-plex, and two 8- piexes wil! contain thirty-two {32} apartments with one, two and three bedroom units intermingled throughout the buildings. The craftsman styled architecture is carried from the townhouse (split level'} design to the apartment buildings with styling queues including: both shingle-sided and board & batken gables, full-light patio doors with aesthetic grids #o match single-hung windows; off-set exterior elevations, and varied roof Imes.
