Description of the proposed project: Cabernet Townhomes is a 33-unit multifamily rental development which will be built on two parcels with a combined acreage of approximately 3.01 acres. The site is currently occupied by the Episcopalian Church of St. Stephens and the pastor's residence. The parcel is zoned MDR (Medium Density Residential) and the proposed development meets all zoning requirements except for a conditional use permit which will be needed for the day care center. ACLC plans to demolish the main church structure and the single family residence but retain the 2601 square foot parish hall which will be renovated as a combination day care center/community room and manager's office. (The single family residence may be relocated to a vacant lot and used for low-income housing, although ACLC has not made a final decision on the home as of the date we filed this application). — The renovation will include a 1901 square foot day care center which will be operated by Head Start as a child development center nine months a year, from September through the first week of June, for an estimated 20 to 25 children per session. Head Start will offer these services to children ages 2 through 5 from the general public, but children who live in the development will receive priority placement. Spaces included within the 1901 square foot child care center are a reception area, office area, storage areas, restrooms and a kitchen. A tot lot will be located directly adjacent to the child care center. This tot lot/playground will cater to recreational needs of children 5 years of age and under. When the center is not being used for Head Start, it will be available for use as a community center. The remaining 700 square feet will be used as a manager's unit. Cabernet Townhomes will feature 33 units of multifamily rental housing which is less than the maximum density of 36 units allowed by the zoning. The development will include 9 units of 2 bedroom flats, 16 units of 3 bedroom townhomes and 8 units of 4 bedroom townhomes. The units will range from 832 square feet for the 2-bedroom units, 1104 square feet for the 3-bedroom units and 1250 and 1320 square feet for the 4-bedroom units. The development will feature 67 on-site parking spaces which exceeds the required number of spaces by 12 (50 required spaces for the units and five for the day care center). There will be two vehicle entrances to the complex. One main entrance will provide access to parking for the majority of the units in the development while the other entrance will provide an additional 10 parking spaces adjacent to the day care building.
