The subject site has been vacant since 2008. On June 7, 2021, the Encanto Village Planning heard an Information Only presentation on the proposal. On September 13, 2021, the Encanto Village Planning Committee heard the case and recommended approval per the staff recommendation by a vote of 11 to 3. Attachment E Addendum A to the Staff Report Z-20-21-4 February 3, 2022 Page 2 of 7 On October 7, the Planning Commission heard the case and commissioners expressed the desire for enhancements and revisions related to architecture, frontage types, walkability, the interface to Steele Indian School Park, and perimeter walls. To refine the plans to accommodate this guidance, the applicant requested continuances at the Planning Commission’s October 7, 2021, November 4, 2021, December 2, 2021, and January 6, 2022, meetings. Since the Planning Commission meeting on October 7, 2021, the applicant has worked to make several updates to their proposal. The revised proposal includes changes related to wall standards, architectural design, frontage types, walkability, and the interface to Steele Indian School Park. Walls and Fences: The applicant is proposing two changes to the perimeter wall section. • The first is a minor change to the text to more clearly state that the development will be constructed in accordance to the wall exhibit date stamped February 1, 2022. To formalize this change, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 1.e.. • The second is a revision to the development standards that would reduce the maximum height of perimeter walls adjacent to the private parcels from eight feet to six feet. To formalize this change, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 1.f.. Architecture, Frontage Types, and Park Interface: The applicant has revised the architecture throughout the site to better reflect the urban context and character of the area while also generating greater visual interest. In addition to the overall architectural design to the building, the applicant has also revised their frontage types along Central Avenue and several units located adjacent to the ungated portion of Steele Indian School Park. This change will add visual interest and a more dramatic interface with the adjacent sidewalk and its connection to the adjacent park. To address the revised architecture: • Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 1.l. to require the project be constructed with architecture in general conformance to the Conceptual Building Renderings date stamped February 1, 2022. • Staff is also recommending Stipulation Nos. 1.k. and 1.m. to update the figures in the Development Narrative to be consistent with those date stamped February 1, 2022 and to add the architectural rendering figures date stamped February 1, 2022. Addendum A to the Staff Report Z-20-21-4 February 3, 2022 Page 3 of 7 Conceptual Building Renderings date stamped February 1, 2022, View from Central Avenue, Source: Norris Design Conceptual Site Plan from February 1, 2022 with stoop frontage types annotated. Source: Norris Design To address the revised frontage types, staff is recommending revised stipulations to reflect the shift from “porch” to “stoop” frontages. Specifically, the revised conceptual site plan depicts Units 1 through 8, adjacent to Central Avenue, and Units 9 through 14, adjacent to Steele Indian School Park and connected to Central Avenue by a pedestrian Addendum A to the Staff Report Z-20-21-4 February 3, 2022 Page 4 of 7 pathway. The revised plan necessitates the below stipulations to reflect the proposed changes: • Stipulation No. 1.a. is revised to require that all dwelling units with a required frontage type be connected to Central Avenue by a direct pedestrian pathway. The purpose of this stipulation is to ensure the south-facing units adjacent to the ungated portion of Steele Indian School Park will be connected to Central Avenue by a sidewalk. • Stipulation No. 1.g. requires that all units oriented to Central Avenue and several along the ungated portion of Steele Indian School Park include a “stoop” frontage type, specifically Units 1 through 8 and units 9 through 14 as depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan date stamped February 1, 2022. • Stipulation No. 1.h. through 1.j. to make additional technical corrections pertaining to the shift from “porch” to “stoop” frontage types. Walkability: The applicant has revised their plans in multiple ways to improve the walkability of the site, both for residents and passersby. These include the addition of “stoops” along Central Avenue which will add character to the public realm, the re-orientation of Units 9 through 14 with the inclusion of south-facing stoops with a direct connection to Central Avenue, and a narrower point of vehicular ingress/egress. Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 12 to require a maximum dimension of no greater than 30 feet for the main vehicular entrance to create a strong pedestrian environment with as few vehicular interruptions as possible. Staff is supportive of the proposed changes and recommends approval subject to the following revised stipulations: 1.
