COMMISSION AGENDA
ITEM 511.2
Public Hearing
May 29. 2007
Meeting
REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the Commission consider
a site plan modification for the Villa Grande apartment project.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is for the Commission to consider and approve a
site plan modification for the Villa Grande apartment project (formerly
condominiums). The project consists of 160 apartment units on 4.78 acres in the
Town Center on the north side of SR 434, just east of City Hall.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. The final engineering for Villa Grande was approved with conditions at the July 24,2006
Commission meeting. The project at that time was planned as a 152-unit condominium
project, and now the developer is requesting to have 160 apartment homes.
. The significant changes to the site plan are as follows:
1. The 152 condominiums are now 160 apartments. The unit mix is still evenly split
between 1 and 2 bedroom units.
2. All 5 buildings are now 5 stories in height, consisting of 4 stories of living area
over a ground floor parking area. The previous site plan consisted of buildings
ranging from 4 to 6 stories.
3. The 5 buildings are all slightly smaller in length and width as a result of unit-sizes
being reduced.
4. The clubhouse is larger and the pool has been moved from the south side to the
north side of the clubhouse.

5. The number of onsite parking spaces has been reduced from 284 to 267, primarily
due to the smaller buildings providing fewer spaces at the ground level. The
tandem parking spaces have been eliminated.
6. The site now has one dumpster area located just north of Building 1. The previous
plan had three dumpster areas at various locations.
. The previously approved parking ratio for the 152-unit condominium project was 1.87
spaces/unit. The proposed parking ratio for the 160-unit apartment project is 1.67
spaces/unit. Staff's recommended parking guidelines require a minimum of 1.50 parking
spaces per unit for this 160-unit apartment project, based on 80 I-BR units at 1.25
spaces/unit and 80 2-BR units at 1.75 spaces/unit. The proposed parking ratio of 1.67
spaces/unit is above the staff recommended minimum and is acceptable in consideration
that the smaller apartment units will have fewer multi-vehicle units. In addition, the
parking ratio reflects only the onsite parking spaces. A total of 54 on-street parking
spaces are being constructed in the immediate site vicinity as a part of the project. These
spaces are available for overflow parking during peak times.
. All conditions of approval from the final engineering approval on July 24, 2006 remain in
effect with this site plan modification.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission approve the attached site plan modification for the Villa
Grande apartment project.
