open space deficiency, the project proposes a 1,477-square- <br />foot community room, a separate fitness room, and an <br />average of 50 square feet of private open space per unit <br />(1,100 square feet total), through use of private <br />balconies/decks for each unit. <br />Building Frontage Type and Floor Height Requirement <br />(Incentive/Concession) <br />Table 3-4 (Frontage Floor Height Minimums and Districts) of <br />the SP2 indicate that arcade, gallery, shop front, forecourt, <br />stop, and front yard/porch are the six allowed frontage types. <br />As proposed, the project does not identify a frontage type that <br />is consistent with SP2. <br />Maintaining the required frontage type and minimum floor <br />heights would result in a complete site and architectural <br />redesign, involving more of the site area dedicated to the <br />frontages design. In order to maintain the current proposed <br />unit count, the developer would be required to redesign the <br />site and elevation design, further increasing development <br />costs and potentially leading to a loss of residential units, and <br />a loss of further open space. Additionally, adherence to the <br />frontage and floor height minimum requirements would be <br />economically infeasible, as it would require additional cost to <br />provide the materials required for the allowed frontage types. <br />Lot Size/Width (Stacked Dwelling building type) (Waiver) <br />Table 3-3 (Building Type and Form) of the SP2 required <br />Stacked Dwellings to have the minimum lot size dimensions <br />of 130 feet deep and 125-200 feet wide. As proposed, the <br />project is located in a lot with the lot size dimensions of 148.25 <br />feet deep and 100 feet wide. <br />The proposed development is located on an existing lot <br />surrounded by existing commercial and residential <br />development. Specifically, the project is abutting an <br />apartment complex that was first constructed in 1986 to the <br />west and commercial buildings that were constructed in 1962 <br />to the north and south. In order to comply with lot width <br />standards, the developer would be required to purchase a lot <br />to the north or south and demolish the existing development <br />on either site. This would result in increasing costs and would <br />make the project infeasible. Moreover, the development site <br />and adjacent properties all have smaller than average lot <br />widths, compared lots along north Harbor Boulevard.
