Document Description
Vesting Tentative Tract Map 84431 (VTTM 24-0001) will consolidate six parcels into a single 0.826 gross acre lot for condominium purposes to facilitate development of the Comstock Place Townhouse Project. A Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for the Demolition Permit to authorize the removal of the 7, 172 square foot medical office building and associated surface parking lot. Variance No. 24-0001 is an application for the following project related variances from the Uptown Whittier Specific Plan in order to be developed as proposed: a) "Lot Width" for the Courtyard Housing: Allow for a minimum lot size of 120 feet instead of the required minimum 125 feet for cou rtyard housing [UWSP section 4.4.8 (A)]; b) Tandem parking: Allow the use of 8 tandem parking garages. The Uptown Whittier Specific Plan (UWSP) does not allow tandem parking. 8 tandem parking garages have been incorporated into the site plan out of 24 [UWSP section 4.9.1 (E)(4)]; c) Guest Parking: Allow for the revision of the required number of guest parking spaces at 6 spaces to 4 spaces (UWSP section 4.3.4 section (C)(3)]; and d) Guest Parking Placement: Allow for guest parking that does not meet the provisions of UWSP, Center District Section 4.3.4 (C)(1). Development Review Plan No. DRP24-0011 envisions 24 single-family attached condominium units along the frontage of Comstock Avenue and Philadelphia Street. There will be two 3-story structures that would be situated in a "U" formation. The project provides 59 parking spaces. Each individual townhouse will be equipped with a garage that will each contain 2 parking spaces (for a total of 48 garage spaces) and 7 resident spaces. Additionally, 4 guest parking spaces will be provided, which includes 1 accessible space in compliance with the American Disabilities Act (ADA). About 6,892 SF of landscaping will be provided. The 24 units on the 0.82-acre site correlates to a density of about 29.27 units per acre
