AGEPdDA ITEM NO ~'7a For meeting of 8/7/79 Supplemental page two being proposed by the applicant is the addition of 270-300 cu. ft. storage cabinets which will be constructed inside the two-car garages being provided for each unit. 3. Condominium ordinance. In the latter part of 1978 the City Council adopted Ordinance #1891 setting forth specific requirements for condominium projects. Those requirements include standards for storage and a requirement for separate utility service and meters unless otherwise handled on a group basis by a homeowners' association. The remaining requirements are met in the construction of new units whether they are built as apartments or condominiums. 4. Requirements. In addition to the conditions of approval, the developer will be required to fulfill the following ordinance requirements: a. Pay the residential construction tax for condominiums of $375.00 per unit, plus $25.00 for each bedroom in excess of one (total of $2,025.00) prior to the issuance of a building permit. b. The developer shall pay the park acquisition and development fee of $200.00 per unit ($1,000 total) prior to the recordation of the final map. c. The applicant shall file a letter stipulating his intended method of providing utility service in accordance with the city code for condominiums. d. The subdivider is responsible for the construction of street improvements in Kimball Terrace and Third Avenue adjacent to the subject property. Improvements shall include, but not be limited to: curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, A.C. pavement, street lights and street trees. Improvement plans for the required work shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to approval of the final map. The return at the northwest corner of Kimball Terrace and Third Avenue shall have a minimum curb radius of 30 feet. e. The subdivider must pay all applicable sewer connection charges prior to approval of the final map. f. Miscellaneous: 1) Utilities serving the subdivision must be undergrounded. 2) The developer must pay his proportionate share for the financing of traffic signals in accordance with the city code. V 3) The developer must comply with all applicable sections of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. Preparation of the final map and plans shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Chula Vista Subdivision Manual and the Subdivision P1ap Act. C. ANALYSIS With the exception of the provision of storage, the design details of this project were resolved with the approval of the precise plan two years ago. Construction has not begun on the site, so the units will be built as condominiums right from the start. The applicant's solution to providing the required storage for each unit involves constructing a 3 ft. wide cabinet along one side of each garage. This solution presents two problems: first, the garages are only 20 feet wide which is a minimum width to accommodate two cars, so the 3 foot wide encroachment for storage makes the parking of two cars within the garage difficult; second, storage has not been provided adjacent to the units, which are all located on the second and third floor. The Planning Commission recommends that the storage in the garage be shifted in part to an overhead area in front of the cars with additional area along one side to avoid conflicts with car door opening. In addition, each unit can easily accommodate a 40-80 cu. ft. storage area on the outside deck area to provide some storage adjacent to each unit. .n y 7 C ~:'
