Document Description
The Rovina Lane Apartments project proposes construction of a 32-unit, 100 percent affordable, multifamily housing project consisting of two three-story buildings on a vacant I-acre site. Units will be available to households earning 30 to 60 percent of the area median income (AMI) in Sonoma County. In addition to residential buildings, the site includes 51 on-site parking spaces provided through a combination of tuck-under parking below each building and a surface parking lot located at the rear of the site, landscaping, retaining walls, stormwater treatment areas, trash enclosure, outdoor amenities including child play areas and a dog relief area, and a trash/fire truck hammerhead. Access to the site will be provided via a 30-foot-wide two-way driveway located along Rovina Lane, approximately 100 feet north of its intersection with Jacquelyn Lane. Internal access will be provided by a 26- to 29-foot-wide drive aisle situated between the proposed buildings. In addition to onsite improvements, the project includes installation of utility infrastructure along the Rovina Lane project frontage and within the Rovina Lane utility easement.
