Park Edge Apartments Mixed-Use Project

Park Edge Apartments Mixed-Use Project

The project includes a request for a Planned Development Permit to develop the 7.47- acre site with a mixed-use apartment and commercial use. This includes a request for 35% density bonus associated with the provision of affordable units to increase the allowable density from 104 units (14 units per acre) to 140 units (18.9 units per acre). The project also includes a requested modification of development standards for reduced setbacks of 10 feet between the southern half of the proposed apartment complex and Maramonte Park. The project would include 140 apartments, comprised of 128 market-rate units and 12 very-low income category affordable units, in eight buildings. The project would also involve development of amenities for use by onsite residents that include landscaped open space areas, a 2,680- square-foot (sf) community clubhouse, and a pool/spa. In addition to the proposed residential component, the project would include a 5,435-sf multi-tenant commercial building in the PD/C-2 zoned area of the project site. The building would consist of between one to three individual tenants, including a drivethrough restaurant. Access to the residential portion of the project would be provided from Miller Street on the north and Sunrise Drive on the south. Access to the commercial area would be provided from Santa Maria Way and Miller Street. The existing multi-purpose trail running through the center of the project site from Santa Barbara Drive to Santa Maria Way would be retained with development of the project. The project would provide 292 parking spaces. The project also would include two in-unit bicycle parking spaces per residential unit and 35 additional short-term bicycle parking spaces throughout the apartment complex. The project would also include three stormwater basins and landscaping throughout the commercial and residential areas of the project site.
