Title
Resolution to Approve 121 Kingsley West Site Plan and Development Agreement, 121 West Kingsley Street (CPC Recommendation: Technical Denial - 5 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the renovation of an existing two-story brick building on the site and construction of two new buildings above a common parking deck for the development of residential condominiums.

Petition Summary:

* The Site Plan proposes to renovate an existing two-story brick building on the site and construct two new buildings. The project will result in 22 housing units, 36 covered parking spaces, and three at-grade parking spaces. The east building is proposed to be three stories above grade with a partial fourth story, and the west building is proposed to be five stories with a partial sixth story, and a maximum height of 60' above the averaged grade.

* Residential use premiums are being utilized to attain the proposed 247% floor area ratio. As a prerequisite to the premiums, the project must achieve a minimum of two LEED points, which will be verified prior to the issuance of building permits.

* A development agreement has been prepared to address installation of a fire hydrant, work in public streets and sidewalks, on-site stormwater management, verification of LEED points, required footing drain disconnects, future fa?ade alterations, and the contribution to Parks and Recreation Services.

The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 15, 2014, unanimously voted in favor of the site plan. Since Planning Commission bylaws require six votes to make a recommendation to City Council, the vote is considered a technical denial since only five members were present at the meeting.
