Recommendation
Summary:
A request to authorize the development of a 33-unit, for-sale, residential townhome community on an existing medical office site at 601 Dover Drive (Project Site). The proposed development includes the demolition of the existing office structure and construction of two-, three-, and four-bedroom units ranging from 1,355 to 2,247 square feet. The development will include a two-car garage for each unit and 10 uncovered guest parking spaces for a total of 76 on-site parking spaces. The 33 units will be distributed within seven detached, three-story buildings with a maximum structure height of 38 feet above the established grade. The development will include resident-serving amenities including outdoor seating, picnic tables, barbeques, and a firepit area. Vehicular access to the Project Site is provided via a driveway on Cliff Drive. Pedestrian access to a publicly accessible plaza is provided at the corner of the site adjacent to Dover Drive. The plaza includes a seating area, walkway, and a scenic view (Project).
• A Major Site Development Review authorizing construction of residential development including deviations from specific multi-unit objective design standards.
• A Variance authorizing encroachments into the required street setbacks along Cliff Drive and Dover Drive.
• A Vesting Tentative Tract Map removing an underlying lot line and authorizing the airspace subdivision of the individual residential units for individual sale (i.e., for condominium purposes).
