TENTATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW - ARROWHEAD MEADOWS
TAX MAP 17-02-34-34, TAX LOT 700
WRITTEN STATEMENT
Branch Engineering Inc. Project No. 19-453
This site plan review application is for the property formerly addressed as 6185
Main Street in Springfield, Oregon, Tax Map 17-02-34-34, Tax Lot 700. The site is
currently vacant and formerly had a single-family dwelling. The proposed site plan will
develop the property to accommodate three townhouses and two multi -family buildings
with seven units each, as well as the associated open space areas. The property was
rezoned from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential in accordance with
the Metro Plan on May 19, 2020.
The applicable approval criteria are addressed below.
5.17-100 Site Plan Review
5.17-105 Purpose and Applicability
The project qualifies for Site Plan Review under SDC 5.17-105(B)(1) for the
townhomes and (2)(a) for the multi -family buildings. As mentioned above, the
property is zoned as Medium Density Residential. The townhouses and multi-
family housing are new development on a vacant site and do not meet any of
the criteria for exception under SDC 5.17-105(B)(1)(a) and (b) or SDC 5.17-
105(B)(2)(c)(v)(a) and (b).
5.17-115 Phased Development
The site plan phasing is shown in the plan set as required by SDC 5.17-115(A).
One or more phases may be constructed at one time and/or the phases
constructed in non -numerical order. No exceptions listed under SDC 5.17-
115(B) are applicable. Public facilities will be constructed in conjunction with
or prior to each phase, as per SDC 5.17-115(C)(1). Neither the City nor adjacent
property owners will be required to construct public facilities associated with
the development proposal, as per SDC 5.17-115(C)(2).
5.17-120 Submittal Requirements
The Site Plan application has been prepared by Renee Clough, PE PLS, AICP,
an Oregon licensed surveyor and civil engineer. The general requirements
outlined under SDC 5.17-120(A) for scale, address tax map/tax lot number,

dimensions of the development area, proposed and existing
buildings/fences/walls, and area of all properties to be conveyed have all been
met and are represented in the site plan drawing. SDC 5.17-120(A)(6),
proposed number of employees and future expansions plans, and SDC 5.17-
120(A)(8), observance of solar access requirements as specified in the
appropriate zoning district, are not applicable for this project. It should be
noted that the solar access requirements are not applicable due to SDC 3.2-
225.3.b.ii (the hillside to the south) and 3.2-225.3.c.i (Main Street and Aster
Street).
SDC 5.17-120(B) lists requirements for the Site Assessment. This application's
Site Assessment has been prepared by Renee Clough, PLS, P$ AICP, an Oregon
licensed engineer as required. The drawing is to scale with existing contours at
1 -foot intervals. Similarly, the name/location/dimension/direction of flow/top
of bank of all available watercourses, 100 -year floodplain boundaries, Time of
Travel Zones, physical features such as trees and watercourses, soil types, and
natural resource protection areas have all been identified on the drawing as
per SDC 5.17-120(B)(1) through (6).
SDC 5.17-120(C) lists requirements for the Access, Circulation and Parking
Plan. This information has been addressed on the Site Plan instead of its own
document, but all necessary code sections have been addressed. The location,
dimensions and number of parking spaces, including wheel bumpers and
striping, are all detailed on the Site Plan as per SDC 5.17-120(C)(1). No aisles,
landscaped areas or directional signs are included as part of this project. On-
site vehicular and pedestrian circulation is represented on the Site Plan in
accordance with SDC 5.17-120(C)(2). The site is currently vacant, though a
single-family home used to be on the property. As such, the existing driveway
on Main Street will be closed as indicated on the Existing Conditions Plan. The
new accessway along Aster Street has been marked and labeled with the
proper dimensions as per SDC 5.17-120(C)(3). Lighting has been illustrated on
the Site Plan as per -SEC 5.17-120(C)(4). SDC 5.17-120(C)(5) discusses location,
type and number of bicycle spaces. Bicycle parking is provided in storage units
and garages as applicable for multifamily and townhome housing. See Section
SDC 4.6-115 for further discussion on bicycle parking. SDC 5.17-120(C)(6)
discusses gross floor area applicable to parking requirements. The table at SDC
4.6-125 does not specify gross floor area for multifamily or townhome
dwellings, rather, parking is based on the number of available units in each
dwelling. Under this section, multifamily housing requires 1 space per dwelling
unit and single-family dwellings require 2 spaces for each dwelling unit when
no paved on -street parking is available directly abutting the property. Sheet
CO.0 in the Site Plan details that the minimum amount of parking spaces for
Branch Engineenng, Inc.

Site Plan Review - Arrowhead Meadows
Written Statement
July 2, 2020
this project is 20 (14 spaces for the 14 multifamily units and 6 spaces for the
3 townhouse units) and that the proposed project features 27 spaces. SDC 5.17-
120(C)(7), location of off-street loading areas, is not applicable. No new transit
facilities are proposed, though an existing minor stop exists along E Main
Street and 62" Place, served by LTD Routes 11 and 91. This is noted on the
cover sheet of the site plan, fulfilling the requirements of Section SDC 5.17-
120(C)(8). A copy of the Right -of -Way Approach Permit required under Section
SDC 5.17-120(C)(9) will be submitted for the driveway closure as part of the
construction permitting process. A Trip Generation Study is not required for
this project, as the site has a peak hour traffic estimation of 7 trips during the
PM peak and an average daily traffic threshold of 92 daily trips, which is far
below the 100 or more peak hour threshold and 1,000 or more trips per day
for average daily traffic threshold as indicated in SDC 5.1-120(C)(10).
Similarly, there are no known traffic issues where traffic safety, street capacity,
future planned facilities or multimodal concerns would be reasonably affected
by the proposed development.
SDC 5.17-120(D) lists requirements for the Landscape Plan. The only non -lawn
grass planting will comply with storm standards and as such is shown on the
Stormwater Plan and Site Plan rather than on a separate landscape plan.
Screening is required under SDC 4.4-110(A)(4) and (6) as the project contains
trash receptacles and is for a multi -family development, further discussion is
covered under SDC 4.4-110(A). Screening standards are met with the walls
around the trash enclosure. Planting, irrigation systems and materials are
listed on the construction plans as required in SDC 5.17-120(D). No new street
trees are proposed as part of this project.
SDC 5.17-120(F) lists requirements for the Improvements Plan. The required
information is included on the Site Plan rather than a separate Improvements
Plan. Names and locations of existing and proposed public and private streets
including right-of-way and paving dimensions are on the plan as per SDC 5.17-
120(£)(1). No new or existing traffic control devices or fire hydrants are within
the project area, and lighting has been indicated on the site plan as per SDC
5.17-120(£)(2). Location, width and construction material for all existing and
proposed sidewalks, sidewalk ramps and pedestrian accessways/trails are all
included on the site plan, as are location and size of existing and proposed
utilities, meeting the code specified in SDC 5.17-120(F)(3) and (4).
SDC 5.17-120(F) lists requirements for the Grading, Paving and Stormwater
Management Plan. Contours and slopes have been detailed as indicated in the
code. The plan has been prepared and signed by a licensed civil engineer, as
required in the Code. Planting will be per City standard and therefore will not

require a landscape architect. The plan submitted with this application
includes the required roof drainage patterns, discharge locations,
pervious/impervious area drainage patterns, size/location of stormwater
management system components, existing and proposed elevations/site
grades/contours, and a stormwater management plan, as detailed in SDC
5.17-120(F)(1) through (5).
SDC 5.17-120(G) lists requirements for a Phased Development Plan. This
project will be phased, therefore, a Phased Development Plan is required. As
per the code, phasing for this project will progress in a sequence that promotes
street connectivity between the various phases and accommodates other
required public improvements, including but not limited to sanitary sewer,
stormwater management, water and electricity. As noted in 5.17-115 one or
more phases may be constructed at one time and/or the phases constructed in
non -numerical order.
SDC 5.17-120(11) lists requirements for an On -Site Lighting Plan. At this time,
specific lighting figures have not been selected. Approximate locations and
figure features are included on the Site Plan.
SDC 5.17-120(1) lists additional information required at the time of Site Plan
Review application submittal. These are as follows:
This narrative fulfils the requirements of SDC 5.17-120(1)(1). Written
permission from the property owner is not necessary per SDC 5.17-120(1)(2) as
Nathan lhedenmann of ALLC, LLC is both the property owner and the project
applicant. The vicinity map included with this submittal contains all of the
required information listed in SDC 5.17-120(1)(3). The zoning of the area is
Medium Density Residential and the proposed development of the property
meets the zoning designation as required in SDC 5.17-120(11)(4). Multi -family
dwellings and attached single-family dwellings are both classified as Permitted
Uses with required Site Plan Review in SDC 3.2-210 as per SDC 5.17-120(1)(5).
A Tree Felling Permit will be submitted with the construction plans, meeting
the qualifications put forth in SDC 5.17-120(1)(6). Section 5.17-120(1)(7) is not
applicable as the subject property is located within the City limits. Wetland
delineation and wetland impact applications are being submitted concurrently,
thereby Mrilling Sections SDC 5.17-120(1)(8) and (9). A geotechnical report has
been prepared by an Oregon licensed geotechnical engineer and is submitted
along with this application as per 5.17-120(1)(10).

5.17-125 Criteria
According to SDC 5.17-125, the Director shall approve or approve with
conditions: A Type 11 Site Plan Review application upon determining that
approval criteria in Subsections A through E have been satisfied.
This application fulfills these approval criteria as follows:
According to SDC 5.17-125(A), zoning must be consistent with the Metro Plan
diagram and/or the applicable Refinement Plan Diagram, Plan District Map
and Conceptual Development Plan. The site is zoned Medium Density
Residential, which is consistent with the Metro Plan and is not located within
any of the City's Refinement Plan Areas. No additional maps or plans apply to
the site. No utility providers have given indication of a capacity restriction,
thereby meeting SDC 5.17-125(B). The site plan complies with all public and
private design and construction standards in the Code and applicable
regulations as per SDC 5.17-125(C). The site is configured to connect only to
an extension of Aster Street to achieve the efficiency and safety goals discussed
in SDC 5.17-125(D). The site's pedestrian route is separated from traffic with
a curb and located away from vehicular reversing action to facilitate
pedestrian comfort and safety. The site's pedestrian route connects both multi-
family buildings to the sidewalks in Aster Street and Main Street. Bicyclists will
connect to Aster Street via the driveway or to Main Street via shared use of the
pedestrian path. An LTD bus stop is available within 280 feet of the site near
the intersection of E Main Street and 62" Place. Most activity centers and
commercial areas in the area are to the west approximately 1,315 feet along
Main Street. This completes the criteria listed under SDC 5.17-125(D). All
physical features listed under SDC 5.17-125(F) have been indicated on the
drawing and geotechnical report. A wetland area exists in the center of the
site. The remnants of an old drainage channel cross through the site within
the wetlands. The southern portion of the site is steep and forested.
5.17-130 Conditions
Section SDC 5.17-130 lists additional approval conditions which may or may
not need to be addressed for Site Plan projects. These conditions are addressed
below as follows:
SDC 5.17-130(A) handles dedication of right -of -wary and utility easements. The
Aster Street right-of-way, including adjacent PUEs, is being extended through
the site to connect the segments on either side (improved to the east and
unimproved to the west). The existing storm and sanitary mains through the
site already have easements. However, easements are proposed for that

portion of the stormwater system which will convey, detain and/or treat runoff
from Aster Street.
A 2.5 -foot fence along the property line bordering Main Street, and 6 -foot
fences along the east and west property lines will be constructed as part of this
project, thereby meeting the requirements listed under SDC 5.17-430(8)
Since the site connects to Aster Street rather than Main Street, none of the
safety measures listed in SDC 5.17-130(C) are necessary.
No modification of the layout of structures caused by the location of streets or
required stormwater management systems are proposed, therefore, SDC 5.17-
130(D) is not applicable.
No noise -attenuating barrier or similar device as specified in Section 4.4-110
is required for this project due to no surrounding incompatible uses or
conditions therefore, SDC 5.17-130(£) is not applicable.
SDC 5.17-130(1-) deals with limiting hours of operation whenever a land use
conflict is identified by the Director or a party of record, including but not
limited to noise and traffic generation. As this is a residential project, the
criteria under SDC 5.17-130(F) are not applicable to this project.
The project will be phased, and a Phased Development Plan is submitted with
this application. Development will be phased to match the availability of public
facilities and services, including but not limited to water and electricity,
sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities, and streets and traffic
safety controls in compliance with SDC 5.17-130(G). As noted in 5.17-115 one
or more phases may be constructed at one time and/or the phases constructed
in non -numerical order.
A Land and Drainage Alteration Permit will be submitted concurrent to the
construction plans in compliance with SDC 5.17-130(11).
The Site Plan reflects retention and protection of existing physical features and
their functions, including significant clusters of trees and shrubs, watercourses
shown on the WQLW Map and their riparian areas as per SDC 5.17-130(1). The
wetland drainage channel on the site will be removed entirely, and the
wetlands will be mitigated through the purchase of Wetland Mitigation Credits.
Impact to the hillside trees will be minimal.

As discussed under SDC 5.17-120(11) the specific lighting fixtures have not yet
been selected therefore a Lighting Plan per SDC 5.17-130(J) cannot be provided
at this time.
The site has frontage on a public street, therefore the conditions to waive public
street requirements listed in SDC 5.17-130(x) are not applicable.
Copies of all required permits for State, Federal and local programs will be
submitted prior to approval of the Final Site Plan as per SDC 5.17-130(L).
Wetland permitting has been submitted concurrent to this application. The
required ODOT permitting to close the driveway on the property will be
submitted with the construction plans.
The Stormwater Management Plan is submitted with this application as per
SDC 5.17-130(M).
3.2-200 Residential Zoning Districts
3.2-205 Establishment of Residential Zoning Districts
The property is zoned as Medium Density Residential, therefore only SDC 3.2-
205(C) is applicable.
SDC 3.2-205(C)(1) allows a zoning of MDR for residential development where
primarily multifamily dwellings are permitted and the density range is 14-28
dwelling units per net acre, rounded up to the next whole number. As shown
in the drawing, the development on the site has a density of 19 units per acre
fulfilling the above -listed requirements.
3.2-215 Base Zone Development Standards
The following is a discussion of how the site meets the standards listed in Table
3.2-215 Base Zone Development Standards. No new lots are being created as
part of this application, therefore, only the setback standards are applicable.
As indicated on the Site Plan, the multifamily dwellings and townhomes meet
or exceed all of the 10' minimum setback requirements for front, side and rear
yards. The townhomes feature interior side yards measuring 6' wide, which
exceeds the 5' minimum set forth in the table.
The site is zoned as Medium -Density Residential and McKenzie Highway runs
East to West.
The proposed Site Plan does not affect the area or dimensions of the site itself.
The property's area is 44,964 sq. ft., which exceeds the standard lot area of
Branch Engineenng, Inc.
Page 7 4 13
Site Plan Review - Arrowhead Meadows
Written Statement
July 2, 2020
4,500 sq. ft. Similarly, the property's 68 -ft frontage along McKenzie Highway
exceeds the SEC's 60 -ft minimum for Medium Density Residential areas along
North-South streets. The site is not a corner lot or panhandle lot, nor is it
located within a cul-de-sac.
The southern half of the site falls within the Hillside Development Overlay
District as described in SDC 3.3-500. This site plan, however, does not create
any new lots or alter the existing lot lines in any way. Therefore, the area and
frontage of the site are considered pre-existing and the standards set forth by
the Hillside Development Overlay District section of the table are not
applicable.
The site is located within the City Limits, therefore, the Urbanizable Fringe
Overlay District section of the table is not applicable to this project.
3.2-240 Multi -Unit Design Standards
The Site Plan design qualifies as a multi -unit development under SDC 32-
240(A) and is being reviewed as a Type 11 Site Plan Review application as per
SDC 3.2-240(C).
SDC 3.2-240(D) lists design standards for multi -unit developments. On -street
parking is not available on Main Street, but is available along Aster Street. As
per the code requirements, the entrance for the southernmost multi -family
building directly faces the street. Additionally, the front of the building is less
than 25 feet from the front lot/parcel lines, with the main entrance being 20
feet from the street right-of-way and the exterior staircase being roughly 11.5
feet from the right of way.
The multi -unit buildings do not have continuous horizontal distances
exceeding 120, meeting standard SDC 3.2-240(D)(2)(a). The features and
structures detailed in sections SDC 3.2-240(D)(2)(b) through (h) have been
included in the design and are shown in the Architect Plans.
SDC 3.2-240(D)(3) is not applicable as the properties adjacent to the site are
not designated as Low Density Residential.
SDC 3.2-240(D)(4) discusses storage and trash receptacles for multi -unit
development. Each of the two multi -family buildings has dedicated storage
unit for each of the dwelling units, offering 312 sq. ft. of enclosed and secure
storage. This exceeds the 112 cubic foot minimum listed under SDC 3.2-
240(D)(4)(a). Trash receptacles are shielded from view in a 112 sq.ff. enclosure
situated in the parking area between the two multifamily buildings, away

from front yard setbacks and following code regulations under SDC 32-
240(D)(4)(b). As the adjacent properties are designated Medium Density
Residential, the property line conditions under SDC 3.2-240(D)(c) are not
applicable. Fixture specifics have not yet been determined with enough
exactitude to allow for SUB to accurately design the required facilities. The
transformer shown in the northerly Aster Street PUE is an assumption. If
necessary, it will need to be located within the PUE and unscreened to meet
SUB criteria.
SDC 3.2-240(D)(5) discusses open space requirements for Multi -unit
developments. The Arrowhead Meadows development project provides both
Common Open Space and Private Open Space as required. SDC 3.2-
240(D)(5)(a) requires a minimum of 15 percent of the gross site area to be
designated and permanently reserved as open space. About 20,790 square
feet of the roughly 43,560 square feet total area of the site is designated as
open space, as indicated on the Open Space Plan, totaling at about 47% of the
total area, which exceeds the required minimum. Of the total open space,
2,835 square feet is Common Open Space (of which 309 square feet is Active
Common Open Space and 245 square feet is Sloped Common Open Space),
and 3,285 square feet is Private Open Space. Under SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(b),
Common Open Space must be at least 500 square feet with no horizontal
dimension less than 15 feet, and a minimum of 0.25 square feet of common
space is required for each square foot of gross residential floor area. The
Common Open Space area meets all of these requirements, with the shortest
dimension being 16 feet wide, the total area being 2,835 square feet, and the
combined Common and Private Open Space areas being 6,120 square feet.
SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(b)(ho mandates that a maximum of 15% of the required
Common Open Space may be on slopes greater than 25% therefore only 245
square feet of the development's sloped ground is included in the open space
tally. SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(b)(iv) is not applicable as there are fewer than 20
units in the multi -family dwellings. SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(c) discusses Private
Open Space requirements. All Private Open Space is directly accessible from
the dwelling units from a doorway as per SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(c)(i), and none of
the Private Open Space areas have dimensions less than 6 feet wide or areas
less than 96 square feet as per SDC 3.2-240(D)(5)(c)(ii).
Main Street currently features a sidewalk along the project site, therefore, it
is not feasible to include a planter strip with this development. Similarly, the
south side of Aster Street features curbside sidewalks. As such, SDC 3.2-
240(D)(6)(b) is not applicable to those areas. Due to the driveway, sight
distance and utilities, the north side of Aster will feature only one street tree
rather than the two required by code spacing.

SDC 3.2-240(D)(7) discusses pedestrian circulation for multi -unit
developments with more than 20 units each. As the total number of units in
the multi -family dwellings does not exceed this maximum, this section does
not apply.
As per SDC 3.2-240(8)(a), parking lots have been placed to ensure that no
parking areas exist between the buildings and the street. Lighting has been
indicated on the site plan in accordance with SDC 3.2-240(8)(b). A 6 -ft -wide
planter island is located in the center lot next to the trash collection facility,
meeting the requirements of SDC 3.2-240(8)(c). A Pacific Dogwood or other
tree in the "Parking Strips 4 to 6 Feet Wide" section of the Approved Street
Tree List will be planted in the island. No parking areas face a living area
window, therefore, SDC 3.2-420(D)(8)(d) is not applicable. Parking lots are
connected to all building entrances by internal sidewalks as indicated on the
site plan, meeting the requirements listed in SDC 3.2-240(8)(e). Wheel bumpers
have been provided for each parking space as per SDC 3.2-240(8)(f). The site
is not a corner lot, therefore, SDC 3.2-240(D)(8)(g) is not applicable. SDC 3.2-
240(D)(8)(h) is also not applicable as none of the parking, loading or
maneuvering areas abut a property line or right-of-way. There are no
decorative walls associated with this project, therefore, SDC 3.2-240(8)(i) is
not applicable. Parking area landscaping and its effect on stormwater runoff
is detailed in the stormwater and landscape plans and has been designed to
reduce stormwater runoff as much as practicable as per SDC 3.2-240(8)(j).
Bicycle parking is provided in storage units and garages as applicable, as
discussed in SDC 4.6-115(A)(8), meeting the requirements under SDC 3.2-
240(D)(8)(1).
Due to the low volume of Aster Street, a shared driveway is not anticipated to
be necessary for the site. As such, SDC 3.2-240(D)(9)(b) is not applicable. The
property does not abut an alley, nor are there any alleys nearby which could
be reasonably be extended to serve the development. Therefore, SDC 3.2-
240(D)(9)(c) is not applicable.

4.4-110 Screening
As the project is a multifamily development and contains trash receptacles,
the project requires screening as per SDC 4.4-110(A)(4) and (6). A 2.5 -foot
wooden fence along the Main Street property line and 6 -foot wooden fences
along the east and west property lines, as well as a walled area surrounding
the trash enclosure will be constructed to provide a uniform sight -obscuring
screen as per SDC 4.4-110(B)(3).

4.6-110 Vehicle Parking - General
As per SDC 4.6-110(A), this site plan provides off-street parking for the
proposed new construction. There were no existing buildings or parking areas
prior to the new construction, so there is no change in existing use of parking
per SDC 4.6-110(A)(2) nor is SDC 4.6-110(B) applicable. No reductions in the
number of required parking spaces has been requested, therefore, SDC 4.6-
110(C) is not applicable.
The current site plan proposes a total of 19 spaces and 2 ADA space for the
multi -family units (which provide 14 dwelling units in total), and one garage
and an additional parking space on the driveway for each of the three
townhouses. These parking spaces are designed for the purpose of resident
and guest use only. Therefore, the conditions listed under SDC 4.6-110(D) are
met.
No joint -use parking facilities are proposed as part of this site plan. Therefore,
SDC 4.6-110(E and F) is not applicable.
No parking spaces are proposed within the right-of-way of the street,
therefore, SDC 4.6-110(G) is not applicable.
4.6-115 Vehicle Parking - Parking Lot Design
The parking spaces for the multi -unit housing comply with the standards laid
out under Table 4.6-1. All spaces are aligned at a 90' angle. The spaces facing
east are 9' wide and 18' long, which match the standard stall widths and
lengths in the table. The two north -facing spaces abutting Main Street are 9'
wide and 19' long.
4.6-120 Vehicle Parking - Parking Lot Improvements
The proposed parking spaces will be paved and will not encroach upon the
public right-of-way, as indicated in SDC 4.6-120(A).

As shown on the Grading and Paving Plan and Stormwater Plan, all parking
lot stormwater is collected on-site and does not surface flow across a property
line or sidewalk
The parking spaces designated for the multi -family buildings all front
sidewalks or public rights-of-way, therefore, the conditions under SDC 4.6-
120(C) are applicable. Each parking space in the multi -family lots features a
6 -foot -long wheel bumper and 6 -inch -tall curb as per the specifications under
SDC 4.6-120(C).
The parking lot areas proposed for this Site Plan allow adequate space to
avoid backing into the public right-of-way. The closest building to the street,
being a multi -family unit, has a 40 -fl distance between the street and the first
parking space. This adheres to SDC 4.6-120(D).
All proposed spaces will be clearly and permanently marked as per SDC 4.6-
120(). The parking areas will be all-new construction, therefore, no existing
striping will need to be covered.
2 of the 21 total parking spaces for the multi -family buildings are designed
for compact cars, bringing the total percentage of compact car spaces to 9%
This is well below the 30% maximum put forth by SDC 4.6-120(F), thereby
meeting this requirement.
Each of the two multi -family buildings features an ADA parking space located
directly adjacent to the ground floor accessible unit. The spaces are designed
and will be constructed in accordance with Section 1104 of the Structural
Specialty Code. This meets the requirements set forth in SDC 4.6-120(G).
4.6-125 Vehicle Parking - Parking Space Requirements
As per the table in SDC 4.6-125, the three townhouses offer 2 spaces per
dwelling unit (a single -car garage and an additional parking space in each
driveway), and the multi -family units offer 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit (21
spaces, including 2 ADA spaces, for 14 dwelling units), which is greater than
the 1 space per dwelling unit minimum set forth in the table under SDC 4.6-
125.
The site does not fall into any of the districts listed under the Special Provisions
section, therefore, the code therein is not applicable to this project.
