The subject property has about 382 feet of street frontage along Willow Creek Road to the west and about 1112 feet of street frontage along West 18th Avenue to the south. Based on this standard, 60% of the site frontage must be occupied by buildings or enhanced pedestrian space. Therefore, the Willow Creek frontage requires 229 feet and the West 18th Avenue frontage requires 667 feet. The proposed development includes buildings for 307 feet on Willow Creek and 672 feet on West 18th Avenue. Also, these spaces are located within 10 feet of the minimum 10-foot setback. Further, this calculation does not include any enhanced pedestrian areas, which would further demonstrate compliance with this standard. Based on these findings, this standard is met.

Multiple-family residential buildings located within 40 feet of a front lot line shall have their primary orientation toward the street.

The main entrance(s) of ground floor units of any residential building located within 40 feet of a street must face the front lot line.

On corner lots the main building entrance(s) may face either of the streets or be oriented to the corner. The subject property is a corner lot and all buildings are oriented toward either Willow Creek Road or West 18th Avenue. Given the building locations and as adjusted under EC 9.5500(5)(a), this standard is met. 2. For buildings that have more than 1 entrance serving multiple units, only 1 entrance must meet this requirement. The applicant has requested an adjustment to this standard in conjunction with EC 9.5500(5)(a) above, as permitted under EC 9.5500(5)(d). Findings demonstrating compliance with the Adjustment Review approval criteria can be found below at EC 9.5500(5)(d). 3.
