MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Clerk, Bill Nary
FROM: Bill Parsons, Planning Supervisor
RE: Silverstone Apartment MDA (H-2019-0099)
December 3rd, City Council Meeting (Continued from October 22, and November 12, 2019)
On October 22, and November 12, 2019, the City Council granted the applicant's request to continue this project
so they could address both staff, ACHD and neighborhood concerns regarding density, open space, parking and
traffic. Revisions to the original plans have been submitted to the City for review. Specifically, the two (2) plans
reflect modifications as follows:
1. The removal of an apartment building lowering the unit count from 204 to 196. The loss of the units has a
resulted in a net increase of three (3) parking stalls above the minimum code requirement (367 stalls are
required and 370 stalls are proposed);
2. A 50' X 100' lawn area and larger dog park in the southeast corner;
3. The tot lot was relocated next to the sports court;
4. An additional 50' x 100' lawn area was placed between Buildings B and D;
The access to S. Movado Way was relocated farther to the south to reduce conflicts at the intersection and
improve intersection LOS if ACHD determines a future signal is warranted at the Overland and Movado
intersection. NOTE: The applicant is preparing documentation for ACHD to review to determine if
a signal is warranted.
The only difference between option A and B is the location of Building K and the associated parking for the
building. In reviewing the both options, staff prefers option A as it orients the building towards the intersection
and places the required parking for the units away from the street. Staff is supportive of the proposed changes.
However, the revisions have necessitated several modifications to the staff report as follows:
1. DA provision 5.1(2) i and ii should be removed from the DA provisions as these are no longer applicable;
and
2. DA provision 5.2 — The maximum number of dwelling units allowed to be constructed within the
development should increase from 192 to 196 units.
