The following are associated pending land use applications that are currently in a joint review with this SEPA application and may contain additional conditions/comments when the decisions are issued. a. Review Process II Decision for a Chapter 15 Multiple Family Design Modification — Building Height Modification Request. The request is to increase the allowable building height for a portion of the property from a 60 foot maximum to a 70 foot maximum. Response: The maximum building height proposed with the updated project design is 58W". As such, the Building Height Modification Request is no longer necessary and has been withdrawn. b. Review Process II Decision for allowing 45 units of Supportive Housing on the subject property. "Supportive housing" means a combination of housing, including low barrier housing, and services intended as a cost-effective way to help people live more stable and productive lives. The housing type is a multiple -family dwelling owned or sponsored by a qualified nonprofit provider or government entity, designed for occupancy by persons that are either (1) experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness; (2) are experiencing a disability that presents barriers to employment and housing stability; or (3) generally require structured supportive services such as case management and twenty -four-hour on -site facility management to be successful living in the community; and is intended to provide long-term, rather than transitional, housing. Response: Resolution and compliance with Supportive Housing provisions has been coordinated separately between the applicant and City. The enclosed materials in the enclosed Design Review package re -submittal. 5. The Management Services Plan for the Riverview Apartments — A Mixed -Tenancy Supportive Housing Project, has been reviewed and is consistent with the requirements per EMC 19.39.155. A Final Management Plan with any updated information is required to be submitted with construction permit applications. Response: The final Management Services Plan for the Riverview Apartments will be submitted with the building permit applications for the project. 6. Provide a use covenant acceptable to the city that restricts the use of the residential units to supportive housing. The covenant will need to be recorded on title of the property prior to construction permit issuance. A draft copy of the use covenant shall be submitted at the time of construction permit submittal for City review. Response: A use covenant has been provided to the COE for review and final review and recording prior to building permit approval. 7. Parking and Pedestrian Circulation Paths must be provided per the City Zoning Code Chapter 34 and City Design and Construction Standards and Specifications. Supportive housing developments shall provide a minimum of 1 parking space per 4 dwelling units. The proposed 45 dwelling units of supportive housing must provide a total of 11 spaces. The remaining 156 dwelling units must provide 312 spaces (2 spaces for each unit). A total of 323 off-street parking spaces are required. Note: The development proposal is under parked and does not meet current parking standards. A total of 297 outdoor stalls are proposed. It appears that an additional 24 spaces are provided in single -car garages. 323-321 = 2 spaces short. Furthermore, the lack of qualifying open space, and interior landscaping will make the parking shortfall even greater under current code. Also, show specially paved and raised pedestrian paths from the parking lot to public sidewalks and bus stops to building entrances per Chapter 34, Section 34.080.C. Response: Parking and pedestrian circulation paths are provided per the COE zoning code chapter 34 and the Design and Construction Standards Manual. A total of 328 parking spaces are proposed. Qualifying open space has been designed and provided per COE requirements. At least one paved pedestrian path is required for parking areas providing more than 100 spaces per EMC 19.34.080.C. Raised sidewalks are provided at the perimeter of all buildings and adjacent parking areas along the building frontages. The project proposes a patterned concrete crosswalk in the southeastern portion of the site between the central
