CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 20.74 acre site is developed with a variety of residential uses as permitted by Ordinances #0347-2010 (CV09-036), #1047-2019 (CV15-050A), #1780-2017 (CV17-042), and #0578-2020 (CV19-123), in the M, Manufacturing, C-4, Commercial, C-2, Commercial, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development districts, and is subject to the University District Zoning Overlay (UDZO). The requested R-3, Residential, ARLD, Apartment Residential, AR-2, Apartment Residential, AR-3, Apartment Residential, and P-1, Private Parking districts will establish zoning districts that are reflective of how the sites are developed pursuant the aforementioned Council variances. Additionally, “Parcel 7” has been added to the site and will be developed with 48 apartment units in the AR-2, Apartment Residential District. The requested districts are consistent with the University District Plan’s (2015) land use recommendations of varying densities of residential development. This request satisfies the requirement for follow-up rezoning as conditioned by those previously approved ordinances, is consistent with new residential infill developments in urban neighborhoods, and results in the zoning map accurately reflecting this residential development. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3166-2021; CV21-026) is requested to permit a private park in the R-3 district, a private community center in the AR-2 district, and variances to various development standards in each district.
