1. From every unit to all other units within the residential development. <br />2. From every unit to all laundry, recreational and other community facilities in the <br />residential development. <br />3. From every building located within 40 feet of a public or private street to the <br />street right-of-way line. <br /> <br />The applicant proposes ground floor units with private outdoor patios, some of which will have a <br />connection to the on-site path and others which will not. The above standard requires that access be <br />provided from every unit to all other units, laundry, recreational, and other community facilities. The <br />applicant has requested an adjustment to allow some of the patio areas to be private and not have a <br />connecting path to other areas of their site. <br /> <br />Both of the standards for which the applicant is requesting adjustments are adjustable upon <br />demonstrating compliance with the following approval criteria. <br /> <br />EC 9.8030(22): Pedestrian Circulation On-site Adjustment. Where this land use code <br />provides that on-site pedestrian circulation may be adjusted, the standards may be <br />adjusted upon finding that, considering site constraints or practical difficulties, the <br />proposed design provides adequate pedestrian connections: <br />(a) Between building entrances and streets or accessways; <br />(b) Between new and existing buildings on the development site, including <br />recreation and community facilities; <br />(c) From proposed employment and industrial, commercial and institutional uses to <br />adjacent parcels having similar existing or planned uses; <br />(d) To nearby transit stops, parks and other recreation facilities; and <br />(e) Between parking lots and main buildings. <br /> <br />The applicant describes how their proposed building is a large multi-story elevator building with internal <br />corridors connecting all dwelling units to each other, laundry, recreational and other common facilities. <br />The building will have six main entrances, all of which connect to a network of on-site walkways that <br />connect to parking, exterior amenities, and the public way. Based on the internal corridors, and the on- <br />site pathways connecting from the main entrances the applicant’s request for an adjustment to EC <br />9.6730 is approved. <br /> <br />Adjustment Request 2 – EC 9.6735 Public Access Required <br /> <br />EC 9.6735(2): Access from a public street to a development site shall be located in <br />accordance with EC 7.420 Access Connections – Location. If a development will increase <br />the development site’s peak hour trip generation by less than 50% and will generate less <br />than 20 additional peak hour trips, the development site’s existing access connections are <br />exempt from this standard. <br /> <br />The applicant has requested an adjustment to the standards at EC 7.420(2)(b) and (e). EC 7.420(2)(b) <br />sets a spacing requirement of 100 feet for access connections on streets classified as major collectors. <br />The applicant has proposed two access connections with less than the 100-foot spacing onto South <br />Attachment A
