C.U.P. 72-12 ANALYSIS Because the proposed use is neither strictly an apartment building or a convalescent facility, analysis of the proposed .use is more difficult than for conven- tional developments. However, the following may be noted: The proposed building would cover approximately 53% of the total lot area. There is approximately 52,116 square feet of ppen space which is 383 square feet per unit. The height of the building is 3 stories' which is greater than permitted for conventional apartments constructed in the same area. However, C-O uses may be 3 stories or 35 feet. The unit sizes are in general less than permitted in conventional apartments. While some reduction in unit size perhaps should be per~itted for such a facility, the overall density of the project should not be substantially greater than the surrounding residential developments. The density of the proposed project would be approxi- mately 64.57 people per acre, whereas the density of the adjoining Monterey Apartments is only 43.66 people per acre. .1 The 70 parking spaces are considered deficient for 164 residents pius staff inasmuch as all of the resi- dents are to be ambuiatory. The G.eneral Plan indicates this area as high density residential. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recognizes the need for faci- lities along this line to provide much needed housing. The Planning Department considers this use to b.e more appropriately considered as an apartment project than a convalescent facility, and as such the overall intensity of development does not make the proposed use compatible with the existing apartment developments in the area, and recommends that this application be denied.
