A. Background/Options
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary planned unit development (PUD) to construct a four-story, multi-family residential housing project on an approximately 0.8 acre site.

Vehicular access to the site is provided from 114th Street and 115th Street with 71 parking spaces onsite (41 garage spaces and 30 surface spaces). Short-term bicycle parking is provided at the east end of the building adjacent to the main entrance at 114th Sreet and long-term bicycle storage is provided inside the parking garage. Community amenities include a club room, rooftop terrace, fitness room, rooftop solar, and electric vehicle chargers.
