Summary:
The applicant is requesting Major Building Design approval in order to construct a new multi-family development, with 42 dwelling units on a 40,753 square foot parcel of land (0.935 acre). The project consists of one 10-story building and a small accessory structure, with a total building footprint of 19,670 square feet (48.27% lot coverage). The project also includes a subsurface parking garage, amenities, and landscaping and a new dock.
The applicant is proposing to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces from 77 to 66 spaces through a Parking Demand Reduction Strategy for Transit Accessibility that allows a reduction of up to 15% for development within 1,000 feet of a bus stop, pursuant to Section 155.5102.K.1.
The applicant is requesting Vernacular or Superior Design Alternative approval for modifications to the following Commercial Design Standards:
1. Section 155.5601.C.3 Building Facades, Subsection a. Facades of multifamily residential development facing a public street shall incorporate wall offsets, in the form of projections or recesses in the facade plane, spaced no more than 30 feet apart.
2. Section 155.5601.C.5 Roofs, Subsection b. Flat roofs on principal buildings shall be concealed by parapet walls that extend at least three feet above the roof level and have three-dimensional cornice treatments that project at least eight inches outward from the parapet facade plane.
The property is located on the west side of North Riverside Dr. and north of East Atlantic Blvd.
Pursuant to Section 155.2205, Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require such changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgment may be requisite and appropriate to ensure that the exterior appearance of buildings and structures enhances the aesthetic character of the surrounding development by complying with the architectural appearance standards of this Code and approved design guidelines.

Advisory Comment: Providing that additional or future changes to the building appearance and site may occur, as well as adding, removing or revising site elements and structures, it may be found necessary for the project to return to this Committee for evaluation of the changes and additions. Further, depending on the significance of the changes and additions, a return to the DRC may be deemed necessary.
If approved by the Architectural Appearance Committee, staff recommends including the following conditions:
1. Plans must comply with the requirements of Section 155.5601, Multifamily Design Standards or relief must be obtained, specifically: 1) for building facades wall offsets, and 2) for the parapet wall with a three-dimensional cornice treatment.
