Case File: CU OG-10 Page 2 Attachments • Covex Sheet • Location Map • Applicants Narrative • Proposed Renderings • Order Granting Conditional Use dated 12-22-2204 • Previously Approved Elevations • Site Plan Overview The Jackson Street Villas Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved in January, 2005 with a condition that brick shall be include on the front and sides of all units. Due to financial concerns and the desire to create affordable units, the applicant would like to remove the brick from the ends of the buildings. Also being requested is that the decks become 2-feet wider. Staff has no objection to this particular request. Analysis The applicant believes that reducing the amount of brick will significantly reduce the construction costs of the project which in turn will result in more favorable unit costs that they believe the area can support. A great deal of discussion regarding the amount of brick was discussed with the Planning Commission. It was agreed that the brick treatments need to continue around the ends of each building to enhance the public curb appeal. The majority of the units, as approved, would only be 20-feet apart. Since public curb appeal was the reason, staff would recommend that the brick remain on the ends with this more public exposure. These would be the ends of units: 1, 30, 31, 38, 39, 64, 65 and 76. The remainder of the end units either face one another or are internal to the site. To maintain the integrity of the originally approved Conditional Use Permit, staff is recommending that eight of the end units maintain the originally required brick treatment. This would result in one quarter of the end units requiring brick. Standards for Issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (Section 30-654 The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 7. bVill not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience orgeneral zvelfare of the neighborhood or the city.
