Two bedroom units are required to have 200 cu. ft. of storage, three bedroom units require 250 cu. ft., and units with four or more bedrooms must have 300 cu. ft. The two bedroom units are to be provided with 177 cu. ft. located under the stairs leading to the second floor and a linen closet containing 80 cu. ft. on the second floor will be used for storage, for a total of 257 cu. ft.

The four bedroom unit will have a total of 257 cu. ft. located under the two stairways and 120 cu. ft. in the patio, for a total of 377 cu. ft. The 80 cu. ft. 1 inen storage area on the second floor of both the two and three bedroom units was determined to be clearly in excess of normal based on the following factors: a. The second floor of the 3 bedroom model has an additional 51 cu. ft. of storage area located between two of the bedrooms. b. Each bedroom contains closets which average approximately 247 cu. ft. of storage. c. Each bathroom on the second floor has a separate cabinet area for linen. 4. Private open space. Each unit has private open space areas which meet or exceed the code requirements. The two bedroom units have a patio containing 80 sq. ft., the three bedroom units a 155 sq. ft. patio, and the four bedroom unit will have two patio areas totalling 235 sq. ft. 5. Design Review Committee. The proposed project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee on July 17, 1980. The item was continued in order that the applicant address certain issues regarding the enhancement of the entry ways as well as provide relief to certain stucco wall areas. At this time the matter has not been totally resolved, but it is scheduled for review by the Design Review Committee on November 20, 1980 and an oral report will be given to the City Council. E. ANALYSIS 1. The proposed project meets or exceeds the mlnlmum requirements of the code regard- ing storage, parking and open space. It is anticipated that the Design Review Committee will approve the project subject to specific conditions regarding landscaping and/or archi- tectural modifications. The illegally converted unit will be converted back into a four bedroom plus den unit. 2. The project has 24 existing carports. The Planning Commission recommended the addition of 15 additional carports to provide one carport for each unit. Although covered parking is not specifically required in the R-3 zone, the additional carports would pro- vide a more reasonable and logical number for the planned condominium sales program. )~9 3. The City Council recently instructed the Planning Department to prepare an amend- ment to the condominium regulations which would require the owners of apartments being converted to condominiums to provide relocation assistance to their tenants. Said amend- ment is now pending before the Planning Commission. In the interim, Council has conditioned the conversion of apartments to condominiums to require compliance with whatever ordlnance is in effect at the time the final map is approved. --""""'"',-- 08~sr.// pall?O l?!UJOJ!Il?:) 'l?lS!^ l?lnLl:) JO l!Juno:) ^l!:) aLll ,Iq ~ "
