DISCUSSION:
This is. a multipart request encompassing changes to both
the Carrington and St. Marin Apartments. These are
currently owned and managed by the same group (Williams
Asset Management); and therefore, only one leasing office
is needed, giving rise to this request. On t~e east property,
or the Carrington side, the applicant wishes to convert the
leasing office, game room, library and weight room, to three
living units and retain the weight room on the south end. A
two bay garage is proposed to the north of the building in
the existing parking area. The exterior of the garage will
match the existing garages within the complex. The parking
area is proposed to be reconfigured to restripe the adjacent
section and to add one additional space to compensate for
the one parking space lost due to the proposed
construction.
On the property to the west, or the St. Marin side, the
applicant is proposing to construct a six-bay garage and
reconfigure the parking area on the north side of Building 19.
Three parking spaces will be added to compensate for the
three lost due to the proposed construction. The
architectural materials of the proposed garage/storage
area will match that of the complex.
All and all, staff has no objection to these requests as long as
the trees that are affected due to the parking lot revisions
will be replaced. Therefore, staff is recommending approval
subject to this condition.
