C. ZoninQ The County zoning of the site is Resort(V-.75). Based on this zoning, the maximum number of units allowed for this 76,739-square foot site is 102, which is more than what the Applicant is proposing. The proposed project is 100 units. In terms of setback, the minimum requirement is 20 feet from the front and rear property lines, and eight (8) feet for one story and an additional two (2) feet for each additional story from the side property lines. The structure will be set back at least 20 feet from Ah'i Drive and the verticals of the structure will have at least 20 feet from Kahakai Road. As noted earlier, a Variance from the front yard setback along Kahakai Road will be sought to allow the retention of existing and County-approved improvements for a retaining wall, subterranean parking, and foundation. The side yard setback will be at least 14 feet. (See Figure 7) The maximum allowable height is 45 feet. The proposed structure will consist of three (3) stories and subterranean parking, and they will not exceed the 45-foot requirement. (See Figures 11, 12) One hundred forty three (143)parking stalls are being proposed. As outlined in the Zoning Code, 114 stalls would be required for the "suites" and three for the standard guest rooms for a total of 117 stalls for the 100 unit project. The back of the area office is for the staff, while the retail and guests only continental type breakfast areas are not intended to be free-standing operating areas but more to service the guests. As such, the applicant believes those areas are exempt from the parking requirement. D. Other Permits As noted earlier, a setback Variance from the Planning Director will be required to allow the retention of portions of a rock wall, subterranean parking, and foundation. The other required permits will be of the ministerial variety. Some of these include Plan Approval from the Planning Director, Building Permit, water and sewer hook up, and the like. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Soils It should be noted that the entire site has been bulldozed in the past and more recently improved with a subterranean parking garage. Because the site has already been built up and/or situated within an urban environment, the Land Study Bureau does not have a soil classification of the site. Notwithstanding the above, the US Department of Agriculture Soil Survey Report previously identified the predominate soils overlying the project site as 8
