P23-0563 & Tract 8749, 4400 Black Ave. Planning Commission 5 of 12 Development Standards The project is subject to the January 26, 2023, ODS development standards for projects with densities greater than 14 and up to 29 dwelling units per acre. The project’s conformance to the applicable site development standards is illustrated in Table 1 below. As mentioned above, per SDBL, the project is eligible to request incentives and concessions, waivers, or reductions to development standards. The applicant has requested a total of 27 waivers, two of which pertain to site development standards, including lot width and building height from the ODS, which are summarized in Table 2 below. These waivers are related to a number of different standards, including: providing sidewalks and parallel parking on both sides of internal streets, internal streets providing through or loop circulation, 5-foot-wide pathways when 6 feet is minimum, providing group usable open space with a dimension not less than 25 feet, and providing unobstructed parking garage space (e.g., tandem parking). Staff has assessed the waiver requests in conjunction with SDBL and believes the request for waivers are appropriately needed to accommodate the project site’s allowable density, and none would have an adverse impact on health and safety, the physical environment , or historic resources.
