The 1.63-acre lot is currently empty and undeveloped. As part of the entitlement process, the applicant seeks to rezone the property from R-1A to R-3A to allow for higher density. The proposed development includes a 54-unit, three-story walk-up apartment complex with 57 parking spaces. Among the 54 units, two will be designated as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

The architectural design features single-sloped roofs, varied parapet heights, and alterations in building façade planes for visual intrigue, along with projecting balconies. The primary exterior materials, including cement plaster and cement board siding, are harmoniously used to create visual interest. A gable roof breaks the horizontal roofline, while material transitions soften the building's massing against its one-story neighbors. Modern design elements, such as casement-style windows and framed balconies with cable railings, enhance the project's contextual integration.

The proposed color scheme, featuring brown or earth tones with off-white massing and blue-toned gray, aims to complement the surroundings. Textural contrasts between smooth cement plaster and the vertical or horizontal lines of siding boards add visual appeal. Additionally, the selection of a sloped roof presents a contemporary aesthetic possibility.

Status: Entitlement in 2024. 

Design Principal: Young Kim
