o Site Access.and Internal Circulation: the proposed driveway is 22 feet wide, which is <br />. within the 20-foot minimum and 28-foot maximum; <br />o Vehicle Parking: is not abutting street frontage; <br />o On-site Pedestrian Circulation: provided between buildings and shared facilities, <br />consistent with EC 9.6730; <br />o. Recycling and Garbage Areas: not located in the front yard setback and has <br />perimeter screening,_ consistent with EC 9.6740. <br />Based on the above findings, the development complies with the applicable multiple-family <br />development standards at EC 9.5500. With regard to EC 9.6105 Bicycle Parking Space Standards, <br />the development appears to exceed these requirements, subject to stall dimensions and security <br />details being determined during the building permit process. EC 9.6105 requires one long-term <br />bicycle parking space per dwelling unit. With 28 units plus the common house, 29 long-term <br />bicycle parking spaces are required. Short-term bicycle parking is not required of residential <br />development. <br />The applicant indicates that 52 spaces are proposed;.the plans show four sheds scattered across <br />the site and a "bike barn" near the southeast property corner. The plans do not provide enough <br />specificity to determine whether the long-term space security requirements are met, but those <br />can be addressed in greater detail during the building permit process. The PUD plans show ample <br />room on the development site to accommodate the-required bicycle parking. Additional bicycle <br />parking (more than the 29 long-term spaces required) does not have to meet code standards, with <br />regard to dimensions and security specifications. Based on these findings, the bicycle parking <br />space standards of EC 9.6105 will be met. <br />With regard to EC 9.6410 Motor Vehicle Parking Standards, the applicant's plans show 16 covered <br />spaces, as garages and carports along the west property line. The applicant's plans note that there <br />are 31 additional open/surface parking spaces. The plans show approximately 29 gravel parking, <br />spaces abutting the paved driveway. The. minimum number of vehicle parking spaces required is <br />one per dwelling unit (or 291n this case). It appears that the minimum requirement is met; there is <br />no limitation on the maximum number of vehicle parking spaces for residential development. The <br />actual number of spaces is difficult to determine because the applicant does not propose to stripe <br />the spaces in accordance with the stall dimension standards of EC 9.6410; however, the scaled <br />plans show sufficient areas to accommodate the required parking. Public Works staff notes that, <br />due to the 22-foot wide drive aisle, all of the parking spaces are considered compact. <br />The applicant seeks a modification to the striping, surfacing, and landscaping requirements for the <br />vehicle parking spaces. EC 9.6410 requires a durable a dust-free surface, whereas the applicant <br />proposes gravel parking spaces. The applicant proposes filter fabric below the gravel surface to <br />meet the durable-and dust-free standard. The applicant also explains that the driveway will be <br />paved, where durability and dust would be of greater concern associated with vehicle movements. <br />To keep gravel in the parking stalls and off the driveway, the applicant states that the planned <br />community can maintain this area and suggests keeping a broom nearby. The abutting concrete <br />wall proposed along the west property line serves as mitigation to additional noise and dust <br />associated with gravel. <br />Staff Report: Oakleigh Meadows Cohousing September 2013 Page 30 <br />HO Agenda - Page 37 1017 <br />
