2.2.4 Prominent entry facing the public street. The building will not incorporate a single prominent entry. Instead, all units will have private entrances at grade level. Of the 14 front doors, four face Patterson Street directly. Special attention has been paid to architectural presentation to Patterson street. 2.2.5 Number of units bv which minimum density is exceeded or which incorporate three or more bedrooms to encourage families. Patterson Place will have 14 units on a site of 12,000 square feet (.27 acres). This exceeds minimum density for the zone by approximately eight units. Twelve of the units have three or more bedrooms making them more suitable for family use than the current single occupancy units. 2.2.6 Number of available ADA accessible units. There are no ADA accessible units. 2.2.7 Responsiveness to neighborhood character and safety in respect to height. mass. architectural detail. landscaping and open space. Composition has been arranged to achieve the density goals while limiting scale, particularly to Patterson Street and approaching pedestrians. Setbacks have been exceeded and the roofs hipped. Exterior materials, hips, gables, entry porches, covered balconies, residential style doors and windows provide resonance with the neighborhood's residential character. As the site across the alley is zoned C2, Patterson Place serves as a transitional building responding to the greater density, mass and height in that zone. Parking spaces will be in a well lit parking area. All units have private entry door at grade level in well lit, highly visible locations, with two directions of approach. No entries face the alley. The entire building is installed with fire sprinklers. Bicycle storage is in locked rooms. The density achieved is 51 units per acre and, therefore, exceeds the incentive threshold of section 9.550(9) of the Eugene Code, allowing exemption from the provision of open space on the site, however the West University Park will provide ample open space nearby for tenants. 2.2.8 Number of units designed for home ownershir>. Patterson Place is not designed for individual homeownership. All units are rentals. 2.2.9 Solicitation of comments from relevant neighborhood associations. The West University Neighborhood Association has gone on record as supporting the Patterson Place proj ect, assuming that the design features are retained, but commented that they would like to see more than 19 parking spaces for a 48- bedroom structure. 2.3 The project will be monitored through the City's regular processes with respect to planning, permit and building and safety requirements to insure compliance with all local regulations; Exhibit B to Resolution No. 4918 -- Report and Recommendation - Page 3
