Using the general retail requirement of 1space per 250sf, the Center requires 108 spaces, and using the total required parking for each tenant, the Center requires approximately 111 spaces. The Shopping Center contains 120 spaces. 36 Proposed Site Plan 37 Proposed Landscape Plan 38 Building Facades 39 View from Commercial Patio With the building pushed as far south as possible, the reduction in units and square footage from our initial submittals, and the 1 story building at the front, much of the mountain view from our existing shopping center is preserved. 40 Community Impacts Peak traffic and utility demand occur at different hours for commercial & residential uses. Utility use for residential is generally less than commercial so less impacts on the utility system. Much more lighting is needed for commercial uses. New residents help support local businesses. Only 2-3 additional children for schools. Residences generate fewer public safety calls than commercial uses. Building rooflines are 2-4’ higher than the adjacent commercial building. Site is 8’+ below Lambert and about 4’+ below the commercial building. New buildings will not appear tall compared to their surroundings. The Public Art will be easily visible from Lambert Lane. 41 Questions 42 43 ½ Cent Tax Collection - by Year 44 Contracted Golf Operator ½ Cent Tax Subsidy 45 Projected Operating Subsidy Projected annual operating subsidy for 45 holes and community center to break-even: $1.25M Remaining ½ cent sales tax revenue could be available for debt repayment or other uses, as directed by Council. 46 Potential Bond Range: $20M to $25M Estimated interest rate: 2% - 3% Timetable: 3 months from beginning to end to issue bonds Flexible timing within the next fiscal year Reimbursement resolution for expenses to allow work to commence sooner 47 Proposal Bond financing for capital projects exceeding the amount necessary to operate the golf courses and Community Center.
