The proposal for their consideration is a long term development plan that includes 55 homes and 30,000 square feet of underground parking. Mr. Wright said that he worked with the property owner to include commercial on the front end of the property. Mr. Wright informed City Council he will work with staff to determine landscape for the site. Mr. Wright indicated they do not prefer to match up their driveway lane off Davis Boulevard with the location of Alamo Drafthouse's driveway. In response to conversations with the neighbors, they changed the height of the masonry wall from 6' to 8' and will add a berm in the landscape buffer June 14, 2021 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 9 area as requested by the Planning and Zoning Commission. In response to comments from staff, Mr. Wright stated that they will provide a paved vehicle connection to the north property line, sidewalk connectivity to Davis and connect to commercial to the north and a gate at Clara Boulevard. City Council had no questions for the applicant. Mr. Comstock presented staffs report. The request is a 55-unit independent senior living multi-family complex. The development includes six one-bedroom units and 49 two-bedroom units with an overall height of 45 feet. The development includes 83 parking spaces (26 surface and 57underground garage). Mr. Comstock reviewed the landscape plan. Mr. Wright mentioned the addition of a berm in the landscape buffer. This item was added today and any motion will need to include the additional berm. Staff has worked with the applicant on landscaping material. The north property line will preserve two main trees and the remaining trees will be removed. Mr. Comstock informed City Council the driveway connection to the north has been moved to the west to better align with the driveway on the commercial side.

The proposed plan includes an emergency access connection to Clara Drive and pedestrian access with a 5' sidewalk loop around the building.

The ordinance also requires the emergency gate to be installed prior to the inspection of the foundation to ensure the gate is operational before commencement of the remainder of the project.
