NAME: 1224 Aldersgate Multifamily Revised — Conditional
Use Permit
LOCATION: 1224 Aldersgate Road
OWNER/APPLICANT: 1224 Aldersgate, LLC/owner; A. J. Gilbert/authorized
agent
PROPOSAL: A revision to a previously approved conditional use
permit is requested to allow for construction of a
four-story, 16-unit, multifamily building and associated
parking on this 0.8 acre, 0-3 zoned tract. The
December 13, 2017 conditional use approval was for
a two-story, 16-unit building.
1. SITE LOCATION:
The site is located on the west side of Aldersgate Road, one lot south of
Kanis Road.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is located on the western edge of a medical office park. East
of Aldersgate Road, south of Kanis Road, the area is developing as a
smaller medical office park. It currently contains several medical offices
and clinics. The site is located on a fairly narrow strip between Aldersgate
Road and 1-430. An office use is located to the north. A new multifamily
development is nearing completion immediately adjacent to the south.
Farther south, additional office uses are located on the west side of
Aldersgate. The proposed 16-unit multifamily development on the fringe of
an office park appears to staff to be an appropriate use. The proposed
four-story building should not have an impact on nearby properties.
Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located
within 200 feet of the site and the John Barrow, Twin Lakes and Twin
Lakes "B" Neighborhood Associations.
3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The 16-unit apartment development requires 24 parking spaces. The
applicant is proposing a single driveway off if Aldersgate, with 31 parking
spaces. All parking will be paved and landscaped to comply with code
standards.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 21, 2019)
Architect Bill Wiedower was present representing the applicant. Staff presented
the item and noted some additional information was needed. The applicant was
asked to provide building dimensions and to label building setbacks on the site
plan. Staff requested a signage plan and a fencing plan. The applicant was
advised to provide the dimensions of typical parking spaces and HC spaces.
Staff requested the appellant locate mechanical equipment and screening on
the plan.
Public Works Comments were presented and discussed. There was a discussion
of the driveways on this site and on the applicant's multifamily development
being constructed adjacent to the south and how the driveways would work
together to address staff and Fire Department concerns.
Landscape comments were discussed. It was noted the plan indicated some
areas where proposed landscaping did not completely meet code standards.
Fire Department comments were discussed. Mr. Wiedower stated he may have
to request a deferral to address some of the issues, but he would let staff know.
Comments from the other departments and reviewing agencies were noted.
The applicant was advised to respond to staff issues by August 28, 2019. The
committee forwarded the item to the full commission.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting approval of a revision to a previously -approved CUP
for a 16-unit apartment building. The prior approval was for a two-story building.
The current proposal is for a four-story building. By consolidating the building
footprint, additional area for parking is created. The number of units remains the
same. The applicant proposed 8 one bedroom units and 8 two bedroom units.
The applicant submitted responses to issues raised at subdivision committee.
The driveway has been relocated to the middle of the site, providing better
separation. A connecting driveway ties this site to the apartment development
adjacent to the south. Prior to issuance of a building permit, proof of a recorded
cross -access easement between the two properties must be provided to staff.
Signage will consist of a single, 4' x 8', monument style ground mounted sign.
Site lighting will consist of wall pack lighting on three sides of the building.
Parking stalls and driveways have been dimensioned and comply with code
standards. The proposed building is 48 feet tall, slightly taller than the base -
allowable height of 45 feet in the 0-3 district. However, an additional foot of

FILE NO.: Z-9277-A
height may be added for each additional foot of building setback beyond the
minimums of the zoning district up to a maximum of 60 feet. This proposed
building is located well beyond the minimum building setbacks, allowing the
proposed 48 feet building height by -right.
The HVAC equipment is indicated behind the building. A portion of the HVAC
equipment and a small portion of the southern parking lot extend into the
required 30 feet interstate buffer. The buffer is required by both the zoning
ordinance and the landscape ordinance. The minor encroachment is similar to
that approved for the project to the south. Staff is supportive of a variance to
allow those encroachments. Approval will also be required from the City Beautiful
Commission. A six foot tall wood privacy fence is proposed along the western
property line, adjacent to the interstate. The fence will match the fence to the rear
of the development to the south.
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised CUP subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in Sections 4, 5 and 6 and the staff analysis in

Staff recommends approval of the variance to allow a slight encroachment into
the 30 foot interstate buffer. A variance will also be required from the City
Beautiful Commission.
