131 spaces. The proposed modifications will also require new landscape buffers, one along the northern property line and the other along the eastern property line adjacent to Delcrest Drive. A preliminary landscape plan will be submitted to the Director of Community Development. Analysis Zoning Section 400.890. Amendments to Final Development Plan requires that all proposed changes in use, or rearrangement of lots, blocks and building tracts in the provision of common open spaces, and changes which would cause any of the situations listed under Subsection (A) of this Section shall be subjectto approval of City Council. The changes proposed will cause a change in the record plat, which is listed in the reference Subsection (A) and therefore an amendment is required. In analyzing this request, it is important to notethat the PD-Mzoning designation allows flexibility to create developments that adapt better to site conditions and the relation to surrounding properties that are otherwise not possible under traditional district regulations, thus resulting in developments that are more compatible and consistent with surrounding neighborhoods. Uses There are no changes proposed to the uses. Densityand Dimensional Regulations The number of residential units will decrease from 126 to 120 with the Phase 1 and Phase 2 new construction. The total number of units, including those in the Weinberg building, will be 238. The building height for the new construction is 4 stories, as compared to the existing8 story building. The massing increased with a third building proposed. It is staff’s option that the density and massing proposed are appropriate. The proposed open space of .78 is acceptable for such developments. The northern setback is 30’ from the property line on the north.The southern setbacks vary but are approximately 35’ and the eastern setbacks vary from 25’ to approximately 40’. The western setback variesto a smallest distance of 10’. Setbacks are designed to provide physical separation, transition and buffering between uses and developments. Buffering regulations in planned districts are set forth in Section 400.780. Density and Dimensional Regulations and Performance Standards.PD-M developments are to consider buffering regulations established for PD-R and PD-C regulations. The perimeter buffering for PD-R is 30’ from a commercial use or district, and 50’ for a PD-C when adjacent to a residential area. As it relates to this application, the proposal meets the buffering requirements at the north. Access and Circulation No new curb cuts are proposed. Interior 90-degree parking will be provided to serve the surrounding buildings. A two way drive aisle is proposed for these areas. It is staff’s opinion that the proposed changes to access and circulation are acceptable. Landscaping 4
