Document Description
The project would demolish the existing 9,000-square-foot one-story building on the project site and construct a new six-story mixed-use building. The proposed building has the following characteristics:
1. 6 stories and 69 feet 6 inches in height;
2. 123 dwelling units and three live/work units;
3. 82,083 square feet of gross floor area with Density Bonus;
4. A parking garage with 50 vehicle parking spaces;
5. A secure ground-floor bicycle storage room with long-term parking for 64 bicycles and short-term parking for eight bicycles; and
6. 6,319 square feet of open space.
The three live/work units and six lofts would be at the ground floor, with the live/work units fronting San Pablo Avenue and the loft units facing the back of the lot to the west. Each of the live/work units would have a mezzanine for exclusively residential space. In addition to housing the live/work and loft units, the ground floor would include a community room, lounge, mail room, trash room, parking garage, and bicycle storage room, as shown in Figure 3. Floors 2 through 5 would be comprised of 117 dwelling units, consisting of 36 studios, 76 one-bedroom units, and 5 two-bedroom units, as shown in Figure 5. The building’s massing would step down from six stories at the front facing San Pablo Avenue to four stories at the rear towards the west. West-facing rooftop gardens would be accessed via the fourth and sixth floors. The proposed project also features a common open space area at the podium level (level 2) facing west the rear of the property.
