PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Master Site Plan Review, Preliminary Planned Urban

1,179 multi-family residential units and approximately 48,761 square feet of commercial space located on a 11.5-acre site
at 800 Garden Ave N (APN 0823059217). The subject property includes a vacant one-story retail building (former Fry’s
Electronics store) and surface parking lot that would be demolished to allow for the proposed development. The proposal
includes the construction of three (3) mixed use buildings over three phases. The phases would include the following
development: Phase 1: Building A – 8 stories (approx. 84 feet above level 1 finished floor elevation (FFE), 696,496 square
feet (SF) with 25,697 SF of ground level commercial space, 419 dwelling units (du), and 635 parking stalls; Phase 2: Building
B – 7 stories (approx. 74 feet above level 1 FFE), 582,385 SF with 13,195 SF of ground level commercial space, 375 du, and
488 parking stalls; and Phase 3: Building C – 7 stories (approx. 73 feet above level 1 FFE), 591,702 SF with 9,869 SF of
ground level commercial space, 385 du, and 490 parking stalls. Net residential density on the subject property would
result in approximately 110 dwelling units per net acre. The development would include approximately 1,613 on -site
structured parking spaces and approximately 26 on-street parallel parking spaces on Garden Ave N. A new public street
connection would be constructed along Garden Ave N between Building A and Building B to provide vehicular access to
on-site structured parking garages. A fire access road would be provided to the north and east of the development.
Proposed drainage improvements are anticipated to mimic the existing drainage patterns, reduce the total amount of
impervious surface, and provide water quality treatment for pollution-generating surfaces. The applicant proposes to
remove the site’s 83 trees (20 significant trees) and replace them with new trees, add a private access road and driveways,
construct street frontage improvements along Garden Ave N and N 8th St, and create open spaces (plazas and paseos).
The applicant has submitted a Technical Information Report, Geotechnical Engineering Servi ces Report, Traffic Impact
Analysis, and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report.
