The proposed project is for the demolition of one (1) 2,034 square-foot duplex, one (1) 1,354 square-foot one-story single-family dwelling, one (1) 463 square-foot detached accessory structure, one (1) 106 square-foot shed, and one (1) 330 square-foot detached garage, and the construction, use and maintenance of a six-story, 43,075 square-foot, 35-unit residential building measuring 66 feet, one (1) inch in height. The project is setting aside 10 percent of the total 35 units and a minimum of 11 percent of the base 19 units, respectively, for a total of four (4) Extremely Low-Income Households units and one (1) Very Low-Income unit. The building will contain 43,075 square feet of floor area with a 3.98:1 FAR. The unit mix will be comprised of 14 one-bedroom units, and 21 two-bedroom units. There will be 47 residential parking spaces with no guest parking spaces within one subterranean garage parking level and at ground level. The proposed project also includes 21 bicycle parking spaces (comprised of 18 long term bicycle spaces and 3 short term bicycle spaces), and 6,510 square feet of usable open space. Also, the proposed project is requesting a haul route for the cut and export of approximately 5,655 cubic yards of earth, or 7,069 cubic yards including a 25% swell factor. The number of units and size is not unusual for the vicinity of the subject site and is similar in scope to other existing multi-family dwellings in the area. Thus, there are no unusual circumstances which may lead to a significant effect on the environment.
