i � . ' . � 2. The �ositive characterstics of the proposed development and whether such I characteristics could be provided by compliance with the development standards andlor design guidelines proposed to be modified. Findin : The proposal is for the triplex to bP constructed immediately to the west of the existing residence. If the proposal complied with all setbacks the separation between the existing structure and the new structure would be approximately 12'9". By allowing for the reduced setback the separation between the two structures is 20'. Section 15.040 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum of 150 square feet of on-site open space be provided for each unit. This proposal �vill be required a minimum of 600 square feet of on-site open space. T Conclusion: The area that is provided between the two structures proposed on site will serve as open space for the site. This ar�a shall be developed with lawn, landscaping, walkways, and active or passive recreation areas in order to promote a useable open space area. An additional open space area will be located directly across the drivelane on the south side of the property, and shall be developed in a similar fashion. 3. The arrangement of buildings and open spaces as they relate to other I, buildings and/or uses on the subject property and on surrounding properties. Findin : By providing greater separation belween structures on site, the area remaining between the structures can be developed as usable open space. ' Conclusian: The arrangement of buildings and location of open space on site should provide for more useable open space and privacy, both on and off site. 4. Visual impact to surrounding properties caused by parking `acilities in the proposed development and whether such impacts are less than would result ' from compliance with the developrtient standards and/or design guidelines proposed to be modified. Findin : Parking is required at a minimum of two stalls per unit, with a total of eight stalls required for the four units proposed on site. A portion of the required parking (1.5 spaces) will be located within the required rear yard setback. Conclusion: The portion of parking that will be located within the rear yard setback will be screened from the neiahboring properties with five feet of Type III landscaping. The remaining parking will be located outsidP this setback area, and will also be screened with a five-foot landscape buffer. 5. If the develoament proposes greater building height than permitted by the zone in wh�ch the property is located, does the increase in building height result in �� i,�crease in the usable open space on the property over what would be pra��ided by meeting in the development standards and design guidelines proposed to be modified. Findin : �:/A Conclusion: N/A 6. If the development proposes greater building heigh�than permitted by the zone in which the property is located, does the inr_-ease in building height impact the views or privacy of abutting residentially zoned properties.
