PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, Environmental
(SEPA) Review, and three (3) modifications for a proposed expansion to the Chateau at Valley Center Assisted Living
Facility located on the campus of the Valley Medical Center. The proposed project, Chateau Valley Tower, would be
located on the 0.58-acre parcel at 4320 Davis Ave S (APN 6391800125), which is north of the existing 2.2-acre Phase I
Chateau at Valley Center Assisted Living Facility at 4450 Davis Ave S (APN 6391800010). Phase I was completed in 2005
with 126 apartment units. As part of Phase II, the applicant is proposing two (2) levels of structured parking under the
building with 66 parking stall and 73 residential units. The proposed new assisted living building would have a density of
126 dwelling units per net acre and the tower would extend eight-stories above finished grade with a roof height of
nearly 84 feet above the entry level of the building. The units would be a mix of one (1) bedroom, one (1) bedroom plus
den and two (2) bedroom. The top floor would also include a dining room, a lounge/activity room and an outside garden
with vegetated walking paths. The new facility would connect to the existing facility on levels one through four. The
subject property is located in the Commercial Office (CO) zoning classification and Commercial & Mixed Use (CMU) land
use designation. Access to the site would be provided via two (2) existing curb cuts and one (1) proposed new curb cut
on Davis Ave S. The applicant is requesting a street modification to Davis Ave S to retain the existing right-of-way width
of 50 feet, retain the existing roadway section, and add one new curb cut approximately 34 feet from the existing curb
cut to access the upper parking level. The applicant is also requesting a bicycle parking modification to reduce the number
of required bicycle parking spaces and a refuse and recycling modification to reduce the size of the trash enclosure area.
According to the City's Critical Area Map (COR Maps), the southeast portion of the site contains regulated slopes. The
proposed addition would remove three (3) existing trees onsite and would provide 21 new replacement trees. The
applicant has submitted Geotechnical Engineering Study, Geotechnical Supplement, Preliminary Technical Information
Report, Trip Generation and Parking Analysis Memorandum, and a Tree Report.
