The following items must be revised or added to the site plan. Please include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed.

RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: SITE PLAN

1. Include cut and fill quantities on the site plan. Fill quantities that exceed 50 cubic yards require a grading permit. If the fill quantities are 50 cubic yards or more please submit a grading application with a grading plan when the site plan is resubmitted. DS 2-02.2.1.A.17.

2. Currently the sight distances are incorrect on the sight visibility triangles, the correct distance is 185' for the near side and 110' for the far side. Revise plan as necessary. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

3. For consistency please delineate the proposed curb cut and the 4' sidewalk in the Right of Way (ROW) on the proposed site plan, sheet C2 O2 to the site plan on sheet C5 O5. 2-02.2.1.A.21.

4. Within all development, a continuous pedestrian circulation path is required. This path must connect all public access areas of the development and the pedestrian circulation path located in any adjacent streets. Clearly identify and dimension the pedestrian circulation to each structure, the trash enclosure and the parking areas. DS 2-08.3.1.

5. Sidewalks shall be flood free for all storm discharges of up to a ten (10) year flood
event. Place a note on the plan, "All roof down spouts on all new and existing structures must be routed under any adjacent sidewalks." Revise plan as necessary. DS 2-08.4.1.E.

6. Dimension all sidewalks on the plan. DS 2-02.2.1A.21.

7. A minimum setback distance of five (5) feet for a pedestrian refuge area (sidewalk) must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. A sidewalk will be provided adjacent and parallel to any PAAL on the side where buildings are located. It appears on the plan there is not an adequate distance for a 5' sidewalk adjacent to the new buildings. Revise plan as necessary. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., DS 2-08.4.1.B.

8. Dimension the distance between the sidewalk and the curb. DS 2-02.2.1A.21.

9. Contact John Clark from the Environmental Services Department (791-5414 ext. 1004) for written approval of the solid waste enclosure at the proposed location. If the solid waste enclosure is approved please submit written approval from John Clark with the second submittal.

PROJECT:

Addition to Bellevue Apartments
5126 E. Bellevue Street

TRANSMITTAL: November 18, 2003

COMMENTS: Please attach a response letter with the next submittal, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. This project is being reviewed for full code compliance.


2. Please clarify the proposed use. The title block and project description indicate that the use is apartments (multi-family), but under the Land Use Group in the Project Data the use is stated to be "Group Dwelling". Further comments may be necessary once the use is clarified. DS 2-02.2.1.A.32


3. The exterior stairs, and their landings, along the east and west property lines are not shown on the elevation drawing (fig. A/C2). These stairs/landings may not extend into the interior perimeter yard setbacks. They do not appear to meet required bldg setbacks (the greater of 10 feet or height of structure). Dimension them from the perimeter lot lines, add their height to the plan drawing and provide an elevation drawing which shows the stairs in relation to the buildings and property lines. These proposed stairways will require a Lot Development Option (LDO) for both the east and west sides of the property. Please submit to the Planning Department an LDO application along with the required three copies of a site plan with Zoning Review comments and three copies of elevation drawings.
LUC 3.2.6.4
DS 2-02.2.1.A.38
LUC 5.3.4

4. To adjacent R-3 zoned property (to the east and west) the required building setback is the greater of 10 feet or ¾ height. To adjacent commercial zoned property (to the south) the required setback is the height of the building. From the street front property line the required building setback is the greater of 20 feet or 1-1/2 times the building height. Please revise the setback table to correctly state all of these required setbacks. Dimension the distance of the existing building (labeled existing storage) to the south property line. LUC 3.2.6.4
LUC 3.2.6.5
DS 2-02.2.1.A.7

5. Add the adjacent zoning to the plan. Zoning is R-3 to the east and west, C-2 to the south. DS 2-02.2.1.A.28

6. Existing buildings do not meet required perimeter yard setbacks. Provide a copy of approved site plan. An LDO may be required for existing structures unless legal non-conforming status can be determined.
DS 2-02.2.1.A.6
LUC 3.2.6.4

7. The elevation drawing (fig A/C-2) appears to indicate that the height to the midpoint of the roof is 19.11 feet from design grade elevation. For setback purposes, heights are not taken from the midpoint but rather from the highest point along each side of the exterior building wall. Please revise the heights and required setbacks in the Project Data table accordingly.
LUC 3.2.6.3
DS 2-02.2.1.A.6 & .7

8. Add a note that the proposed residential development is subject to LUC 3.5.7.1.F.
LUC 2.3.6.2

9. Label and dimension any existing or proposed easements and add their recordation information to the site plan.
DS 2-02.2.1.A.20

10. Wheelstops are to be located two-and-one-half (2½) feet from the front of the parking spaces. If they are located 3 feet from the front as shown on the vehicle parking space detail, the spaces must be six (6) inches longer. Please revise parking space detail dimensions.
DS 3-05.2.3.C.2

11. If free-standing outdoor lighting is proposed for this site, please detail on the site plan.
DS 2-02.2.1.A.25

12. The location, type, size and height of any proposed free-standing signage must be shown.
DS 2-02.2.1.A.13

13. Add a project location map to the site plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.4

14. Due to number of proposed units, bicycle parking must be provided. Show the location of bicycle parking on the drawing and add bicycle parking calcs to sheet 1. Bicycle parking must be shown fully dimensioned per DS 2-09 on sheet D.2. Remove the note stating that no bicycle parking is required.
LUC 3.3.4
DS 2-02.A.9
DS 2-09

15. As this is a development, remove the FAR calculation and add a lot coverage calculation to the plan. The lot coverage calc will also include square footage of vehicle use area. Max allowed coverage per development designator "P" is 70%. LUC 3.2.3.1.D
DS 2-02.2.2.A.3
LUC 3.2.9

16. Add a percent expansion calculation to the project data. DS 2-02.2.2.A.6

17. Please provide a density calculation showing the number of units per acre proposed. With a total of 16 units proposed on a 34,800 square foot (0.88 acre) site the density would be calculated as follows: 16 units ¸ 0.80 acres = 20 units per acre proposed. As stated in the Projsect Data, the maximum residential density allowed in the R-3 zone is 36 units per acre. LUC 3.2.10
LUC 3.2.3.1.C

18. Label the centerline for Catalina Avenue and dimension its ½ right-of way. DS 2-02.2.1.A.19 & .21

21. Revise site visibility triangle dimensions to be correct. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10

22. Revise pedestrian circulation system to be continuous and to connect all public access areas of the development and the pedestrian circulation path located along Bellevue Street. Clearly identify and dimension the pedestrian circulation to each structure, the trash enclosure and the parking areas. Clearly dimension the sidewalks on the site plan drawing. DS 2-08.3.1.
DS 2-02.2.1A.12

23. A minimum setback distance of five (5) feet for a pedestrian refuge area (sidewalk) must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. A sidewalk must be provided adjacent and parallel to any PAAL on the side where buildings are located. Revise site plan and elevation drawing. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1

24. Please add property legal description to the plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.2

25. Correct the parking calc to show that for multi-family dwellings, exactly one-and a half (1.5) spaces are required for each one bedroom unit. DS 2-02.2.2.A.4

26. Dimension the existing and proposed structures on the drawing. DS 2-05.2.1.A.6

27. Please label the purpose, height and dimensions of dashed areas adjacent to the existing units and extending into the front vehicle overhang areas of some of the parking spaces. It is unclear what they represent as they are not shown on the elevation drawing. DS 2-05.2.1.A.6

28. Remove the line and 21-foot dimension measured from the street property line. Street setbacks in established areas are the greater of 20 feet or height of exterior structure wall, measured from property line. LUC 3.2.6.5
