EXHIBIT 4 <br /> construct additional floor levels, which would exceed the <br /> maximum allowable height as part of the Two-Family <br /> Residential (R-2) zoning district, and would further increase <br /> development costs making the project economically <br /> infeasible. To help alleviate the setback deficiency, the project <br /> proposes a 29'-0 3/4" upper-story setback from the rear of the <br /> property to control the mass and bulk of the structure towards <br /> the rear. <br /> Front-yard Fence Height Restriction (Incentive/Concession) <br /> SAMC Section 41-610 (a)(1) requires that fencing within the <br /> Front-yard area (defined in SAMC Section 41-172 as the yard <br /> extending across the full width of the lot, the depth of which is <br /> the distance between the front lot line and the main wall of the <br /> building.) be a maximum of three feet in height on frontages <br /> that abut a non-arterial street as designed in the Mobility <br /> Element of the General Plan. <br /> Maintaining the height restriction would result in reduction in <br /> private open space for Unit 1 and trigger non-compliance of <br /> SAMC Section 41-622.5 in which no mechanical equipment, <br /> such as an AC condenser, may be located between the <br /> building wall and the side property line. In order to maintain <br /> the current proposed unit count, the developer would be <br /> required to fully redesign the site, further increasing <br /> development costs and potentially leading to a loss of <br /> residential units, and a loss of further private open space. To <br /> help alleviate this deficiency, the landscape plans provide <br /> enhanced screening proposals which include vertical <br /> landscaping elements to ensure a harmonious transition from <br /> the front-yard's plants/shrubs to the built structure. <br /> Building Separation (Incentive/Concession) <br /> SAMC Section 41-254 (a) requires a minimum setback of 15 <br /> feet between primary structures. <br /> The proposed development is proposing a reduced setback <br /> of 10-feet between the front duplex and the center duplex, and <br /> a 9-foot setback between the center duplex and the rear <br /> duplex. In order to comply with the minimum building setback <br /> requirements, the developer would be required to provide a <br /> full redesign of the site and/or reduce the number of units <br /> provided onsite. This would result in further increasing <br /> development costs and may result in the loss of potential units <br /> onsite. <br /> Resolution No. 2024-XX <br /> f 12 <br /> City Council 12 —213 7/1 4 <br />
