As proposed, the Project would meet two of the three conditions (Conditions A & C). Hopkins Avenue is a dead-end public street that terminates at the JPB railroad. The Hopkins Avenue right-of-way would be improved with 21 perpendicular parking stalls for the public's use, which is more than the required 9 guest parking spaces. The Planning Commission finds that elimination of the guest parking requirement is acceptable, in that two of the three conditions would apply to the Project: 1.) Adequate street parking will be provided on Hopkins Street and 2.) the Project site is located on EI Camino Real, which is a major arterial roadway in the City, and is within close proximity to retail shopping facilities and services. G. The reservation of landscaping areas for the purposes of separating or screening service and storage areas from the street and adjoining building sites, breaking up large expanses of paved areas, separating or screening parking lots from the street and adjoining building sites, and separating building areas from paved areas to provide access from buildings to open space areas; Landscaping is proposed to provide curb appeal, as well as to soften the transition from the major corridor up to the condominium complex. Landscaping has also been placed at the rear of the parcel to screen and add a buffer between the condominium complex and the JPB right-of-way. The project site, in conjunction with landscaping areas, also utilizes permeable areas with bio-swales and pervious pavers to allow for stormwater runoff to be captured and treated on-site. H. In the case of any commercial or industrial structure, the review authority shall consider its proximity to any R District and shall consider the effect of the proposed structure upon the character and value of the adjacent R District area; The Project does not involve any commercial or industrial structure. The Project consists of all residential structures. I. The provision of permeable areas and drainage design appropriate to capture and treat stormwater runoff prior to its discharge from the site including, but not limited to, the use of vegetated swales, landscape features, permeable pavement materials, infiltration basins or engineered designs. The City's Engineering division has reviewed the Project's permeable paving areas, landscape features and areas, and bio-swale areas to capture and treat stormwater run-off prior to discharge from the site, and determined that the Project would comply.
