PARKING
Total of 30 parking spaces are proposed to be located to the rear of the development.
Access to the rear surface parking lot will be located along the northern property line, where two (2) proposed vehicular gates are proposed adjacent to an existing alleyway. One of the gates will provide well access for the Water Resources Department, which is located south of the parking lot.
Given the size of the units and affordability level, it is anticipated that there will be no more than two (2) vehicles per unit.
The proposed modular supportive housing project, is designed to minimize impacts to neighboring properties while providing a safe, comfortable place to live for residents experiencing homelessness.
property management
The units will be overseen by the City’s contracted property management company, which will be responsible for the overall management and maintenance of the property.
In addition, an-on site “manager,” referred by Tri-City, will reside at the property to provide a consistent on-site presence, monitor the units, and promptly report any issues or concerns to the property management company or the City for appropriate follow-up.
Additionally, the project will include security cameras throughout the development and parking lot area.
Public NOTICING
