2. Existing site characteristics.
The subject property is a 2.2 acre level lot located on the south side of IIJII Street,
120 feet east of Broadway. The property is a "through lot" which also has frontage on
James Street. The site is presently developed with a 34 unit apartment complex consisting
of 17 single story duplexes (all two-bedroom units) constructed in 1959. Other struc-
tures consist of a 200 sq. ft. storage room and a 400 sq. ft. laundry room. A swimming
pool is located in the center of the complex. There are 32 onsite parking spaces, 10 of
which have access from James Street and 22 spaces with access from "J" Street. The
parking on "J" Street encroaches into the required 25 foot front yard setback.
3. Proposed modifications.
a. The developer intends to make a number of modifications to the existing
development in order to meet the condominium requirements. The swimming pool and one
duplex will be removed and replaced with parking. The parking on "J" Street will be
redesigned to eliminate parking in the front setback, which will require the relocation

of two driveways. The driveway on James Street will also be relocated and the parking
redesigned. A total of 55 onsite parking spaces will be provided after the changes are
accomplished.
b. The common open space areas immediately to the rear of the units will be
fenced to provide a minimum of 250 sq. ft. of private open space per unit, which exceeds
the 80 sq. ft. minimum requirement for two bedroom units. The required storage of
200 cu. ft. per unit will be located within the private open space and contiguous to the
units.
4. Design Review Committee.
Since the apartments were constructed in 1959 prior to the formation of the Design
Review Committee, the project was submitted to the Committee on February 19, 1981. The
Committee approved the project subject to certain conditions, including the submittal
of a complete landscaping/irrigation plan, a compliance survey, low level directory
sign, and elevations for the proposed private fencing.
5. Notice of hearing relative to conversion.
As required by State law, all tenants of the project received notice of the
Planning Commission public hearing as well as copies of the staff report. There have
been no protests of the conversion filed with the Planning Department and there was
no opposition at the Planning Commission hearing.
