8.A. - Page 100 Prevention Program C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance Manual, Appendix E, and bio-retention soils meeting the same Guidance Manual's Appendix K. The location of the bio-retention areas will be located between the trail and buildings and the water's edge, with planting design that both complements the adjacent ornamental plantings and also provides a logical transition to the bay edge plant palette. BCDC Review The Applicant has been working with BCDC's design board to ensure that the waterfront public amenities, the hand boat launch and Bay Trail "spur" are consistent with BCDC policies and goals. The applicant has incorporated BCDC direction and feedback into their plans for the programming and layout of the waterfront areas under BCDC's jurisdiction. This also includes off-site improvements to the west side of Uccelli Boulevard, including a bike lane and pedestrian path that will connect to the Project as discussed herein. Formal consideration by BCDC's full commission will not occur until after the City makes its decision on the project. Architectural Design Architecture for this project can be generally described as "coastal" with a combination of stucco finish and horizontal siding that borrows from seaside community typologies. Those features include low-slung shingled roofs with either gable or hipped rooflines and wood accent features such as balconies, shutters, covered entries, etc. Refer to Attachment 1 Planned Development Permit Application, Character Images Sheets A-7, A-8, A-9, and Exterior Elevations A-10, A-11 . According to the project architect, the project will use three main building types with several small ancillary structures, which will be used to diversify the scale of this community. The first building type that greets the residents & guests is the Recreation / Lease amenity building. Located near the main entry, this 2-story resort style building is strategically located so guests and residents can take advantage of overall vistas of the marina atmosphere. A high level of detail, materials and finishes will be evident in the features of this gathering spot. Furthermore, the use of contemporary high quality materials, which is consistent with character of these traditional coastal communities, but much more durable, resilient, aesthetic pleasing, and sustainable having high percentages of recycled content. Cementitious materials used, are not as susceptible to moisture, wind or insects. The second building typology is the "Wrap Homes". This building type is 5-stories of homes "Wrapped" around a 7-level garage. Surrounded on all sides by units, the garage facility is buffered from adjacent neighbors. Four elevators are provided and the wrap units are 100% handicap accessible; approximately 80% of the resident's parking spaces will be on the same level as their units, also on each level are handicapped designated parking spaces. Not bounded by a parking structure below, the units are allowed to meander, creating courtyard neighborhoods fitting the unique geometry of the site. Each neighborhood courtyard has a different character whether active or passive incorporating BBQ, shade structures, and landscaping. To further emphasize the different courtyard neighborhoods, color districts have been used to reinforce that concept.
