Staff Planner Flanery discussed the average number of parking spaces for the recent residential projects approved in Northgate. She stated that building and site aesthetics, pedestrian connectivity, parking, an end island variance, and other pertinent elements are at the discretion of the Board. Commissioner Trapani asked about projects such as the Tradition Dorm and Cross Street Warehouse Apartments in Northgate being required to contract parking spaces from the City's parking garage. Staff Planner Flanery stated that while both the Tradition Dorm and the Cross Street Warehouse Apartments expressed interest in contracting spaces from the City garage, it was not a requirement for them to do R \HTLTR \PZLTR \PROD \PZ2002 \P0006728.DOC so. Mr. Metcalf mentioned that they created as many parking spacing as they could fit on the site and that they are also asking for a variance to the end island requirement. The parking lot is wrapping around the existing 4 -plex, which requires 180 square feet of end islands on each side of the building, and the plan does not show those islands. Mr. Metcalf stated they need a variance because they felt the parking was more important than the end islands. Mr. Vessali stated that they complied with the Ordinance on the site plan except the end island requirement. He also stated that most folks don't use cars in Northgate and the City wanted a more densely populated area. Commissioner Trapani spoke in behalf of Commissioner Floyd saying that he felt very strongly that the City is allowing too many units in the individual properties, and Commissioner Trapani concurred. Commissioner Floyd felt that there should be one parking space for each bedroom. Mr. O'Reilly, representing the Cross Street Warehouse Apartment project, stated that they are still in negotiation for long term usage of the parking spaces in the Parking Garage and are having some problems acquiring those spaces. He also stated that this property is only a block from A &M and that this is a pedestrian oriented area. Commissioner Trapani asked if the applicant was willing to enter into an agreement with the parking garage. Mr. Vessali stated that if individuals need to park their cars, they will use the parking garage. Ms. Foutz stated that the City would not assign long term contracts, but a year to year contract. She also stated that they would probably not contract with this property since it is such small property compare to Cross Street Warehouse Apartments. Mr. Vasseli suggested that he add parallel parking spaces to the eastern portion of the property. Staff Planner Flanery stated this would cause a problem with the Dumpster location. Mr. Metcalf stated that in the Wolf Pen Creek area they allow compact car parking spaces. If they put in compact car spaces, they would have 6 or 7 more parking spaces on site. Mr. Vasseli stated that the parking spaces Mr. Metcalf recommended would be too close to the building. Staff Planner Flanery stated this would cause a problem with the Dumpster location as well. Commissioner Trapani stated that what has been discussed is the exact point Commissioner Floyd was talking about density and the project needing several variances. Staff Planner Flanery stated that the only variance to be considered is the end island variance. There is not any parking variance because there is no parking requirement in the area. R : W T LTR \PZLTR \PROD \PZ2002 \P0006728. DOC Commissioner Hall asked if they only had input on the end islands since the site has met the minimum site planning requirements. Staff Planner Flanery stated that they have discretion over site plan, design elements, parking determination and others. Staff Planner Flanery mentioned that one of the goals of the Northgate area is to increase density and to promote a pedestrian and bicycle oriented area. Commissioner Hall stated that with Cherry Street having no parking and College Main being bicycle lane, the tenants would probably park elsewhere like neighboring parking lots. Assistant City Engineer McCulley stated that it is not in the plan at this time to restrict parking on Cherry Street. The idea is that after the Cherry Street renovation they will then decide whether or not to remove the parking from that street. Development Review Manager Ruiz stated that the City has contracted consultants to rewrite the Northgate Ordinance and Design Standards, which will be coming before the Commission within the next two months. The other consultant is rewriting the Northgate Revitalization Plan. The density problem that the Commissioners are concerned with will be addressed in these plans. Commissioner Hall asked the applicant if he would be willing to take out the efficiency apartment on the eastern facade of the building to add more parking spaces there. Mr. Vasseli stated that moving everything up a little bit will give more parking space. Economic Development Director Foutz stated that the Council wants to dense up the Northgate Area and is looking for it to become more of a down town area. She wanted the Committee to know that the parking will be reduced in the proposed Northgate Plan. The plan, including the parking requirements will be coming up for discussion before the Commission. Commissioner Hall asked about aesthetics and landscaping and if they meet code. Staff Planner Flanery stated that the landscape does meet ordinance but the aesthetics is the Board's discretion. Commissioner Hall asked about the mailboxes. Mr. Vasseli stated that the mailboxes would be on the side of each of the buildings. If there are any issues with mail services, Staff Planner Flanery stated that it would go into a mail kiosk in the back parking area and would match the design of the project. Commissioner Hall asked about the proposed peach color of the building. Mr. Vasseli stated that he is trying to get away from the blue /gray color. Mr. Vasseli stated that the peach would compliment heavily vegetated area. Mr. Vasseli suggested that that the board does not request those "almost" white colors. R : \H T LT R \PZ LT R \PROD \PZ 2002 \P0006728. DOC Commissioner Hall moved for approval of the site plan with the variance on the end island and all other applicable requirements for bicycle, mailboxes, vegetation, landscaping and all requirements.
