setback requirements" the applicant has also decided to shift the Jefferson bu$�A._ Page 3 corresponding eight feet six inches (8'6") to the north. Without a shift in the Jefferson building tower element, the project could not maintain the 40-foot separation. It should be noted, the tower disposition applies only to floors 9 and 10, but the Applicant has decided to move the entire building mass, floors 4 through 10. With the incorporation of these modified design elements and the additional variations from the DTPP (described in the DTPP Guideline Compliance table below), the project, as revised, would remain consistent with the standards as identified in the DT PP, and no new variations to the guidelines would be required. Furthermore, with the incorporation of these modified design elements, as agreed to by both the Applicant and Appellant, Appellant no longer objects to the Project. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION As previously stated, the Tentative Map, Condominium Permit, Planned Development Permit and Downtown PC Permit application proposes a complex of 3 — 10 story towers and 2 — 3 story podium buildings for up to a total of 471 residential units, 10,500 square feet of commercial space to house the San Mateo Credit Union (SMCU) offices, and 3,000 square feet for a leasing office. The building footprint would cover the entire site for a total gross square footage of 714,625. The parcel is 106,255 square feet in size (2.44 ac) and occupies approximately four-fifths of the existing block with frontages on Bradford, Middlefield and Jefferson. Parking garage access includes two separate driveway accesses from Jefferson, one for commercial and one for residential parking, and one access drive from Middlefield Road for residential parking only. Surrounding land uses are primarily office and medical, with residential, commercial and public facilities in the broader vicinity. See Attachments 5 and 6 for Tentative Map and Project Plans. In terms of usage, the first level contains all the commercial space, the leasing office, a residents' bike shop, three residential lobby entrances (one on each street frontage) and 9 residential units arranged in podium style buildings. The balance of the residential units occurs in floors 2-10. The third level features a 33,200 square foot landscaped private common open space area that includes a pool, spa, water feature and terraced landscaped spaces that double as bio-treatment facilities. Twenty-two of the residential units have private patios, opening onto the common open space area. A recreational room and gym also occur at the third level. As previously described, the Project will also include an approximately 17,000 square foot landscaped open space roof deck area above the third floor on the Bradford elevation. The project includes three levels of parking; a basement level with 263 residential spaces, 1 S� level with 102 residential spaces and 52 commercial spaces, and a 2"d level with 182 residential spaces, for a total of 599 automobile parking spaces. Parking spaces would be "unbundled" from the apartment units so that tenants will have the option of leasing car park spaces subject to an additional cost to the base rent. A drive- up ATM is also located in the commercial parking structure for the SMCU to replace the existing ATM, as well as a walk-up ATM at the front of the SMCU branch. In addition to the aforementioned parking, included in the ApplicanYs revised project description is some additional narrative expanding on the parking management Page 3
