Lower minimum unit square footage The current code states a minimum apartment size to be.750 square feet. We are requesting this be reduced to 550 square feet. The project is set up for a minimum of 30% senior housing and this lower unit size allows flexibility in product type to attract a varied clientele for assurance of a successful project (which is in everybody's best interest). With the units having enclosed garages, area is available for storage to offset apace which might normally need to be inside the apartment. 3. Reduce parking requirement per unit The existing code .creates an average of 2.16 parking spaces per unit (1.5 spaces per one bedroom unit and 2.5 spaces per, multi -bedroom unit). We are requesting a parking space requirement variance to a minimum of two spaces regardless of bedroom type, due to the seniorper unit,will incorporate at least 30% of the project. The lfigureshwe have submitted to you on other cities in the Southern California area for senior parking requirements fully justifies this request and still allows ample visitor spaces. We hope you will look favorably upon our request and if you have any questions on this, or other matters relating to this project, please give myself or Craig Bryant of Winchester Asset Management a call. 294-M•KG Plerming TH!
