STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS NO. 1
Project: NORTHGATE CONDOMINIUMS (SP) — 02- 00500270
PLANNING
1. You will be required to provide sample building materials and colors, building
elevations, details and elevations of the fence and other elements on the site for
approval by the Project Review Committee.
2. Please remove the language regarding the number of parking spaces required. The
parking requirement will be determined by the Project Review Committee prior to
site plan approval.
3. The drive aisle width and the separation between driveways shown on the site plan
will require a variance from the Project Review Committee. This variance request
will be heard by the PRC at the same time that the site plan, parking determination,
elevations, and building materials & colors are considered.
4. 180 S.F. of landscaped islands are required for every 15 interior parking spaces.
You will be required 360 S.F. of interior landscaped islands. A minimum of a 180
S.F. landscaped island is required at the end of each parking row. This includes a
single parking space.
5. Parking screening shrubs will need to be less than 3 foot on center for adequate
screening.
6. The minimum dumpster pad size is 12' x 12'. The location of the dumpster needs to
be at the rear of the building and will need to be completely screened from the right -
of -way.
7. Please provide the zoning of the subject property on the site plan. (NG -3)
8. NG -3 requires bicycle racks. One bicycle space per unit (8) is required.
9. The minimum front setback for NG -3 is 15 feet from the property line.
10. Please provide the transformer location and show the required screening for the
transformer.
11. Please provide the mailbox location on the site plan.
12. Sidewalks are required to be constructed along College Main. Sidewalks at least 8
feet in width are strongly encouraged.
13. All meters must be located within an easement or the public right -of -way. Please
show the location of all meters on the site plan.
14. Please show any existing or proposed easements.
15. The chain link fence will not be permitted.
16. Streetscaping along College Main will be required. This requirement can be met
using one canopy tree or 2 non - canopy trees for every 32 linear feet of frontage
(points from these trees may be counted toward the total landscaping points
required). This also requires 300 additional landscape points for every 50 feet of
frontage on College Main (excluding driveways and site triangles).
17. Sanitation is OK with this project, but I would recommend moving the enclosure
flush with the driveway curb, and having a screening fence on the rear of the
enclosure, with a small space between that rear fence and the building wall.

PLANNING
1. As discussed previously, landscaped islands at each end of each parking row (min
of 180 s.f.) are required. This requirement is not being met on the ends of the row of
two spaces next to the building. The islands must be landscaped with grass or
ground cover OR with enhanced paving. Concrete islands are not allowed.
2. Please dimension the square footage of all end islands and interior islands to show
that you are meeting the requirements.
3. The six -foot sidewalk that you have provided is the minimum allowed by the
Northgate Design Guidelines. An 8 -foot sidewalk is strongly encouraged. Because
you have repositioned the building to meet the front setback requirement and
because very little landscaping is proposed in this area, you may consider an 8 -foot
sidewalk. Please be aware that the Guidelines call for stamp died concrete for
sidewalks.
4. I only see 4 bicycle parking spaces on the site plan. Please call out the other 4
required spaces. (or let me know where they are if I have missed them)
5. Is the "10' E.E." a proposed or existing? (Please specify this on the site plan.) This
must also be a "P.U.E."

NORTHGATE CONDOMINIUMS (SDSP) (02- 00500270)
Zoning District: NG -3, Residential Northgate
Location: 317 Cherry Street, located on the northwest corner of the intersection of
Cherry Street and College Main.
Applicant: Christian Galindo, P.E., Galindo Engineers and Planners, Inc., agent for
John Fu and Ling Yu He
Item Summary: 317 Cherry Street is just under half and acre and is currently
undeveloped. The applicant is proposing a condominium project with eight 2- bedroom
units. The applicant is currently proposing 21 parking spaces for the project. This is a
parking ratio of just over two and a half parking spaces per unit.

- • 'vewa s.acing, as shown on the site 'Ian will re. • - - - . a - from the
W Project Review Committee. 1 ue o t e minimal frontage of this property, staff agreed to
support the driveway ifi a developer designed the parking aisle to operate as a one -
way facility with an enter only drive on Cherry Street and an exit only drive on College
Main. Additionally, staff believes that for the parking aisle to operate as a one -way
facility, the aisle width should be a maximum width of 17 feet. The applicant has shown
the drive aisle width as staff requested. This drive aisle width will also require a variance
(--. from the project review committee.
Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval with Staff Comments #2 and
the of the following recommendations:
• Staff recommends that the applicant show street trees every 30 -feet along
PS —� College Main. Because of the two canopy trees already shown on the site
Gt
l plan along College Main, this will only require the addition of one more tree
19 Cak on College Main. This can be accomplished by moving a proposed canopy
tree from the rear of the property to the front of the building.
• Staff recommends that the applic t remove the proposed iron fence. Since
' � 1. J cJJ Northgate is a pedestrian orie ed area, staff feels that the fence will limit '
7;i c k, pedestrian access. The only rrer ,- access to the property is vehicular.
