EUCLID AND HEIL

The stand-alone five-story podium apartment building is proposed to accommodate 83 units (82 affordable units and one manager’s unit) on 0.78 acres. The apartment building is located to the northeast of the market rate wrap apartment building and will be mapped on its own separate legal parcel. There are four residential stories on top of a ground level parking podium. The maximum height of the senior apartment building would be 58 feet 10 inches. The architectural design is the same as the market rate building which is Contemporary and will include the same materials of painted stucco, Hardie fiber cement siding, ribbed metal accent panels, black metal awning, glass balcony railing, black vinyl windows, high profile corner storefront glass, and enlarged window lines. 

There will be three (3) affordable unit types including 71 one-bedroom (85.5 percent) ranging between 587 – 603 square feet and 12 two-bedroom (14.5 percent) units that would be 828 square feet. Two of the three affordable unit floor plans have a private patio or balcony with an average square footage of 52.4 square feet. It is anticipated that the community amenities will include a secure garage with reciprocal access to the multifamily apartment’s wrap parking structure, one programed courtyard inclusive of an outdoor community space with lounge seating, an outdoor BBQ with shade trellis, and dining tables with umbrellas and landscaping. Ancillary areas include a property management and resident services office, mail and parcel room, central laundry facilities, and trash terminal, electrical, boiler, emergency generator, fire pump, and solar battery rooms. Additional residential services to be provided in the senior apartment may include financial education, computer training, nutrition classes, health information/awareness, and onsite food cultivation and preparation.

The five-story wrap apartment building is proposed to accommodate 304 units on 3.31 acres. The apartment building is located along Euclid Street to activate the street and interface with Mile Square Regional Park. There are five residential stories wrapped around a six and a half-level parking structure with a total maximum building height of 56 feet 10 inches. The elevator tower of the parking structure is 67 feet 5 inches in height. The architectural design is Contemporary and will include painted stucco, Hardie fiber cement siding, ribbed metal accent panels, black metal awning, glass balcony railing, black vinyl windows, high profile corner storefront glass, and enlarged window lines. 

There will be seven-unit floor plans including 98 junior 1-bedrooms (32.2 percent) ranging from 600-609 square feet, 124 one-bedroom (40.8 percent) ranging between 751-756 square feet, and 82 two-bedroom (27 percent) units ranging from 1,047-1,075 square feet, averaging about 787 square feet. Each unit has a private patio or balcony with an average square footage of 56.4 square feet. The junior one-bedroom layout offers distinct advantages over a traditional studio, primarily by providing a separate sleeping area that enhances privacy. This separation creates a sense of a larger, more organized living space. Additionally, the junior one-bedroom design can accommodate a full-sized bed and additional furniture, which increases comfort and the potential for personalization compared to the more confined space of a typical studio apartment. It is anticipated that the community amenities will include a secured garage with reciprocal access to the senior apartments podium parking structure, electric vehicle charging stations, individually programmed courtyards, resort style swimming pool, lounge, gaming areas, co-working spaces, and fitness room. Ancillary areas include the leasing office, mail room, move in and trash staging area, mechanical rooms, and electrical rooms.

The townhome program is designed with front doors accessible from a private patio and garages accessed from an enhanced alley condition. Building clusters located along Heil Avenue contain five units per building. Buildings within the center of the development contain seven units per building. The buildings are sited to create paseos and provide pedestrian connectivity throughout the site. The units are proposed to be 3-stories, 32-feet (36-feet including the 4-foot parapet) in height with flat roofs. The townhomes have a Contemporary design with stucco, horizontal siding, metal awnings and balcony railings and bronze colored vinyl windows. 

There are 2-story triplex buildings proposed along the northern and eastern borders of the project site providing an additional 36 for sale units. The buildings and plots have been designed to serve as a transition between the surrounding single-family residential neighborhood and new multi-family residential community. The structures are 2-stories, 27-feet, 2 inches in height with hip roofs which is similar to the roof style of the adjacent single-family neighborhood. The second-floor rear elevations have limited windows and there are no balconies. The backyards will provide a 25-foot setback which is the same minimum rear yard setback requirement of surrounding R1 Single-Family zone. There are two elevation styles with two color and material palettes. The Transitional Modern style with palettes A and C includes stucco, recessed front windows, tight roof eaves, metal trellis porch elements, and garage doors with windows. The Coastal Modern style has palettes B and D and includes stucco, horizontal fiber cement siding, trimmed windows, traditional covered porches, and solid garage doors.
