STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE f2, 1985
TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
FROM : LAND USE PLANP!ING OFFICE
SUBJECT: -RP 85-4 AUSTIN PACIFIC - Request for approval of a Redevelopment Permit to develop an office building at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Arbuckle Place in Subarea 6 of the Village Redevelopment Area.
I. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Design Revie-w Board APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and ADOPT Resolution No. 050, recommending APPROVAL of RP 85-4, based on the findings contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The aoolicant is requesting approval of a Redevelopment Permit to constLr;ct a 9,307 square foot office building on .42 acres, located as described above, The subject property is a level corner lot fronting on both Jefferson Street and Arbuckle Place. The site is presently occupied by four older single family homes that will be removed.
The proposed two story building will be developed with the main _ emphasis of the structure on Jefferson Street. Parking will be located to the rear of the building with access from Arbuckle Place. The applicant has been required to dedicate 10' for right-of-way purposes on Arbuckle and install street improvements on both Arbuckle and Jefferson. The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the street sideyard setback from 10' to 8' along the Arbuckle frontage.
II. ANALYSIS
Planninu Issues
1) Is the proposed project consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Design Planual?
2) Does the proposed project conform to the requirements df the Zoning Ordinance?
a
Discussion
The project is located within Subarea 6 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The area is "envisioned as maintaining its existing character of maximizinq the office and professional zone around the subarea". Staff believes the proposed project is consistent with both this goal and the permitted uses of the subarea.
Presently, the surrounding neighborhood is in transition from older, single family dwellings to scattered office buildings. A s mentioned previously, the site itself is presently occupied by several older residences. Staff believes the proposed development will enhance the neighborhood and that the developer has tried to create a structure that is as compatible as possible with a transitioning neighborhood.
All setback reauirements, except the street sideyard, are met and the required 23 parking spaces are provided on-site. A 6' block wall and a heavy landscaped buffer are proposed on the southern and western property lines to provide privacy for the adjacent homeowner.
Overall, the only concern staff has with this project is the reduction of the street sideyard on Arbuckle Place from 10’ to 8'. Xhen the applicant initially came to the City for backqround data, he was given an improvement plan of the area which indicated a 56' right-of-way on Arbuckle Place. Plans were drawn up based on this information. Subsequently, the applicant was told by staff he would have to provide a 30' right-of-way from the center line of the street. To have the proper street width and leave the building at the same location, the applicant would have to be granted a setback variance of two feet. The Village Design Manual states, "In exchange for exceptionally good landscaping, depth of the required setbacks may be reduced by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission". The applicant has agreed to provide the additional landscaping and staff feels comfortable approving this request. The usual findings required for a variance do not have to be made. Staff feels the applicant has worked with the City to develop a project that would be an attractive addition to the Redevelopment area.
-. In summary, staff believes the project conforms to all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Design Manual and recommends approval of this project.
IV. DESIGN/ARCHITECTURE
The two-story structure, 27' high, would utilize a wood frame construction and feature a contemporary design. Gray wood siding would be used on the exterior and off-set with bronze-tone glass windows. (A material board will be available for your review at the meeting.) The applicant is proposing heavy landscaping interspersed with large trees to soften the design.
