The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located. The property and use is consistent with adjacent and area uses. The change to 2nd floor dwellings will help the site to be more consistent with the residences located to the North. The required parking load will also be reduced due to a lower requirement of accessory dwellings versus office. No change is planned to the exterior of the buildings. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof. The is no proposed change in the building envelope and thus there will be no decrease in the future development potential of adjacent properties. 3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. The will be no negative impact to the area due to the partial change to accessory dwellings in the second floors. However, positive impacts are all of those which occur due to having a full time occupancy by residents. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. The exiting site access is well designed and allows for appropriate and ease vehicular connection both to and from the site. Entering vehicles can easily enter the drive and exiting vehicles can enter traffic in the appropriate direction. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The current buildings are consistent with the character of the area in scale and sryle. There is no proposed change. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. The PUD faces "inward" and thus does not negatively impact adjacent properties. Parking is buffered and partially enclosed by both of the buildings as well as the landscaping on the south/front of the property. Planning 8 Development Department, 100 S.

EXPLAIN HOW, IN DETAIL, EACH CRITERION IS BEING COMPUED WITH PER THIS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (USE SEPARATE SHEETS AS NECESSARY). 1 Section 2-703.A - The request is for permission to exceed the permitted are limit of 25% for accessory dwelling as part of an existing office condo unit. It is not feasible to use less than the requested portion of the 2nd floor as residential due to its small size. Request is for the least reasonabie floor area to be converted. 2 The provision of accessory dwelling is consistent with the intent of the CDC to include residential within the Downtown districts. It is also consistent with the immediate area which includes mostiy commericai and residential. 3 The redevelopment will not change the exterior of the building and does not further hinder redevelopment of adjacent properties. With the decrease in parking and traffic due to this development, the load of the site lessens the burden on existing infrastructure and is thus and enhancement to the area in that way as well. 4 Adjoining properties will suffer no detriment as a result of the proposed accessory dwelling use since no exterior change to the building is planned and the load on the site in general will be reduced with regard to traffic. 5 The addition of residential use to this condo unit is fully consistent with the uses allowed by the zoning and the future land use. It is also consistent with the east gateway character district. The residential use may also contribute to the local area economy and enhance further redevelopment efforts in the area. 6 The existing rear setback non-conformity does not inhibit redevelopment of the existing residentiat properties a. to the rear of the site. In general the existing building does not conform to the setbacks in the guidelines but compliance on this point is impossible without demolition of existing structures and full redevelopment.
