The darissity has tieduced fromi 8 ta 6 units. She explained the site cionslistad of an East
Brid Commeinc-I al (E C' , zoned I ot and a DD zoned lot, whi ah werie each in a diffeinaril
dasign diitrict. The BC portion was in the Downlown RadeivelopmWil Design District;
arid the DD portian was in the C Id Town Design District. W. Numanoglu desaribed IN
surmounding zoning aric' uses and the types of tlees to be removed. She said the exisling
ra,itawant and housci wauld be ramov&. Sho,said the aplIficaw wanted a 11al line
ad uE�tment (a ministerial deaiiion� to rrige the DD lot largein, and then would cianssiolidale
the two lots; howeveri, the zone boundary would not move. The DIIzoned portion Am to

and the pncaplosed smallen setback theare would still be wide anough Ica accommodate
landscaping and the pleadeastrian eanvircanmar.at. She said the appliciant wantead to use a

She advi.,i ad that excieaptioro to th_e Dlowntcawn Design Standar& could be allowad if the

tt; a dasign made both parts of the builldir.ia compatible with each othar and eaaah of the

and the proposed plan aciciompl shed llhea purposes of 11 he Urbana Design Alan. Ms.
Numanoglu advisad the combined area nequined far open space and landscaping wa:a 40%,
bull the appl:iciant yeas pnoposing a total of 26.21%. Shea :!aid staff found the prcaposed plan

openi space/landscaping ansa and advised tt; at thle raquired 40% was excieassive; did nai fit
