EC 9.8445(1) The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed housing is needed housing as defined by State statutes. The applicant states that its proposal is for multi-family dwellings for renter occupancy. As the statutory definition includes the type of housing proposed by the applicant, no additional analysis is necessary to demonstrate that the application can be reviewed under the Needed Housing criteria. Based on the available information and findings above, EC 9.8440(1) is met. EC 9.8445(2) For a proposal for multiple family developments, the proposal complies with the standards contained in EC 9.5500 Multiple Family Standards. An evaluation of the applicable multi-family development standards, EC 9.5500(1)-(14), as required by this criterion, is provided below. EC 9.5500(1) and (2) provide purpose and applicability, and do not set forth standards to be evaluated. EC 9.5500(3) Building Height. The maximum building heights allowed are those permitted according to the applicable base zone. The maximum building height in the R-4 zone is 120 feet, and 35 feet in the R-2 zone. Per the applicant's elevation drawing and site plans, all buildings comply with the applicable maximum building height based on which zone they are located within. Compliance with this standard will be further evaluated at the time of building permit. Based on these findings, this standard is met. EC 9.5500(4) Minimum and Maximum Building Setbacks. (a) Required Setbacks. The required building setbacks are those required in the applicable base zone. As proposed, the development complies with the applicable setbacks of the R-4 and R-2 zones. (b) Street Frontage. On development sites that will result in 100 feet or more of public or private street frontage, at least 60 percent of the site frontage abutting the street (including required yards) shall be occupied by a building(s) or enhanced pedestrian space with no more than 20 percent of the 60 percent in enhanced pedestrian space, placed within 10 feet of the minimum front yard setback line. (See Figure 9.5500(4)(b) Multiple-Family Minimum Building Setback Along Streets.) On development sites with less than 100 feet of public or private street frontage, at least 40 % of the site width shall be occupied by a building(s) placed within 10 feet of the minimum front yard setback line. Building projections and offsets with an offset interval of 10 feet or less meet this standard (excluding required yards). "Site width," as used in this standard, shall not include areas of street frontage that have significant natural resources as mapped by the city, delineated wetlands, slopes greater than 15%, recorded easements, required fire lanes or other similar non-buildable areas, as determined by the planning director.
