3. Site Plan Narrative
A. General site information
This application is seeking modification to the approved Site Plan/CCOA, 23-243. Several of the
proposed changes are a result of ongoing project planning and contractor coordination. The proposed
changes are reflected in the clouded drawings and documentation. For quick reference, the
modifications include:
- The North stair tower, elevators, and elevator lobbies have been pulled within the building to
create a safe distance between the building and the relocated power lines in the east alley that
have been coordinated with NWE.
- Overall, building height has been reduced with the removal of the second floor. Parking and
storage areas on the second floor have been removed, while amenities and interior open space
areas have been moved to the first floor.
- Tenant lounge has been located adjacent to the covered outdoor open space along North 8th
Avenue with access from the south lobby.
- The gym was also moved to the first floor with access from the south lobby or from Aspen
Street.
- Parking stalls that were removed from the second floor of parking.
- A few of the shared balconies were removed due to the creation of additional outdoor
space on the ground level.
B. MOD Checklist Items
1. Project narrative providing a thorough description of what is being proposed including a list of
all alterations/changes proposed to the plan.
Please see the narrative section above documenting all the proposed changes. Additionally,
please see the clouded plan set for more detail on the proposed changes.
2. Project file numbers associate with plan to be modified.
The Site Plan is File 24-051.
3. Site plan of existing conditions with north arrow, property dimensions, setbacks, existing
easements, access points, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, buildings, natural features and
topography.
Please see the 24-051 approved Architectural Plan Set. Please see sheet C201 for existing
conditions.
4. Site plan of proposed changes with north arrow, property dimensions, location of buildings,
parking, driveways/access points, landscaping, setbacks, easement locations, vehicular and
pedestrian circulation, natural features and topography.
Proposed changes noted on Architectural Site Plan Sheet A101SP.
5. Front, rear and side elevations of all buildings, structures, fences and walls with height
dimensions and roof pitches if new construction or changes to elevations are proposed. Show
existing and proposed changes.
Please see the Architectural Plan Set Sheets for more information about the proposed
elevations. All plan set sheets have been clouded to show the changes from the original
approved drawings.
6. Building elevations shall include proposed exterior building materials, windows and doors
including a color and building material palette for all proposed features keyed to the building
elevations if material changes are proposed.
Please see the Architectural Plan Set Sheets for more information about the proposed
elevations. All plan set sheets have been clouded to show the changes from the original
approved drawings.
7. For minor changes, include pictures, specifications and other information that will clearly
express the proposed changes or alterations to the approved plan.
Pictures were included in the approved site plan application 23-243. Materials and windows
are not proposed to change with this application.
8. Cutsheets for proposed windows, doors, exterior lighting or other detailed modifications if
building elevations are not detailed enough to depict features accurately.
The exterior door and window unit types are staying the same as approved in the original
Application.
9. Floor plans showing floor layout including square footage and proposed use for each room and
area. Suggested scale is 1/4:1 foot.
Please see the Architectural Plan Set Sheets for more information on the proposed Floor Plans.
The total number of residential units did not change with this application. The second floor
was removed from the building. This floor had a combination of residential amenities and
parking on it. As a result, the open space calculations have been redistributed. The original
application was granted a departure (for housing creation – section 38.320.070) to reduce the
overall required open space by 20%. Please see the updated open space calculations
documenting continued compliance with the UDC.
Open Space - Original Application 24-051
Proposed Open Space
10. Parking plan and calculations for all uses if proposed changes to the approved plan require
review of parking requirements.
One of the changes identified in this application was removing the second floor which
contained a level of parking. Please see the tables below outlining the changes and
compliance with the UDC. Whereas the minimum parking requirements on this site in
MidTown with B2M zoning are zero, this project is providing substantial parking. The unique
and progressive plan is to provide Attendant Parking, which will allow for storing cars in a
variety of ways depending on individual circumstances. This will allow the ability to park more
vehicles in otherwise standard spaces and adapting to specific parking needs, both inside the
building and outside on and off site.
