Document Description
The project involves a Disposition and Development Agreement to allow for construction of a 100 percent affordable senior-only residential development consisting of 90 one-bedroom dwelling units on a 44,911 square foot County-owned property. The project consists of two buildings. Building A would be located on the western portion of the site and be five stories and up to 55 feet in height, while Building B would be located on the eastern portion of the site and be six stories and up to 66 feet in height. The residential buildings would front an open courtyard, with the first level providing a lobby and accessory spaces, including a multi-purpose room in Building B and a manager's office and laundry room in Building A. In total, the building would contain 61,321 SF of floor area. A drive aisle accessible from 52nd Street would provide access to 24 parking spaces, seven of which would be equipped with electric vehicle charging capabilities, in the southwest corner of the project site. Existing slab and parking areas would be demolished as part of the proposed project. The project would connect to existing electrical, water, and sewer utility infrastructure. A series of 2-inch water service connections and additional fire water and irrigation connections to the existing 12-inch water main in 52nd Street would be constructed. Sewer connections to an existing 10-inch main in 52nd Street would be constructed via 6-inch laterals from the buildings feeding into an 8-inch lateral through the project drive aisle. Other off-site improvements include relocation of an existing bus shelter and sidewalk improvements. The project is expected to be built to LEED Platinum standards or an equivalent ranking, be fully electric, and include rooftop solar energy and solar thermal systems.
