l. Tl�c miiquc cliaraMcristics of thc subjcct property and/or its surroundings and how they <br />«�ill bc prolected or enhanced by� modif}�ing U►e de��elopment st�ndards or design <br />guidelines. <br />Findin s: The subject properry is a triangular shaped lot approximateiy 6,000 square fect in <br />arca located between East Marine View Drive and Ha���thornc Strcet. The lot slopes do�vn <br />from Hawthorre Street tn Gast Marinc Vie�e Drive by approximately l4 fcct. There is an <br />existing dwellii�g on the subject property. The subject properry is surrounded by residential <br />uses. <br />Conclusions: Thc subjtct property is unique in shapc. Thc proposed devclopment will have a <br />footprint similar to thc sliapc of the lot. <br />?. The posili��e charncleristics of U►e proposed devclopment and wheNier such characteristics <br />could be provided b}� compliance «�ith the de��elopment standards and/or design guidelines <br />proposed to be m�dified. <br />Pindin,�: 'I'hc atpplicant statcs th� <br />ilcsigncd as scparatc strucwres �vii <br />to creatc a sensc uf individuality sn <br />dcnsity of up to 58 units per acre <br />zonc. 7'his devclopmcnt will havc <br />approximatcly 37 fcct or less. <br />t thc four d���clling units, altliough onc building, will bc <br />h differing heights and architecwral styles and details so as <br />id independence for each dwelling. The R-4 tone allows a <br />and heights up to 45 fcet whcn �vithin 20Q feet of the R-2 <br />a dcnsity of approximately 29 units per ucre and heights of <br />Cnnclusions: '1'hc ��ro��osed development provides an attractivc strccts„apc by dividing the <br />i�uilding into uniyue individual dt��elling units. Tlie modification ���ill ali���� the dwclling units <br />to have porchcs, which n�ill extend into the tcn-foot strcet sidc sctback. <br />3. Tl�c :u•rangement of buildiugs aud open spaces as tl�e�� relate to other buildiugs �nd/or <br />uses on thc subjccl propert�� and on surrounding propertics. <br />Pindin�;s: A minimum open space area of 20' 7i 20' is reyuired by IiMC 19.040.C. Although <br />there ���ill nnt he 400 square feet of ccntrally located opcn space that is shared between d�e <br />occupants of thc dwclling units, ovei 100 syuarc feet oT opcn space per d���clling uttit will be <br />provided within private landscapcd yards and/or decks. <br />Conclusions: 'I'hc proposcd devcloptnent will bc required to providc porchcs, yard areas, and <br />decks for cach dwclliug unit. <br />4.

EMC 19.34 requires a minimum <br />oP eight off-street parking spaces. The spaces wi11 bc accessed from Uoth streets and half the <br />spaccs will 6c witl�in t���o car garagcs. <br />Condusions: 1'he parking areas will lia��e minimal visual impacts to surrounding properties. <br />5. lloes thc proposed design mitignte the iropacts tl�at could bc caused by relaxation of the <br />stmidards wliicl� arc proposed to Uc ntodiGcd? <br />�indines: 7'hc fronl fa�ades of the proposed d�velling units provides modulation, prominent <br />covcred porches, numcrous vertical windows, varying heights, and use of different siding <br />
