PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on December 10, 2015.
SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, and a 35-unit supportive-housing apartment building in the L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District, each on separate parcels. The applicant proposes the L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District to construct a new 40-unit supportive-housing apartment building that will be attached to the existing apartment building, with reconfigured parcels to create two subareas. The site is within the planning area of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends medium density residential uses for this location. Staff recognizes that aspects of this use differ from conventional apartment residential development, and supports the increased density. The requested L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District will permit a 75-unit supportive housing apartment development with a commitment to a subarea plan and development standards in consideration of the abutting residential lots. The text also includes provisions for setbacks, street trees, screening in the form of a privacy fence along the site boundaries, and lighting controls. The proposed use is in the spirit of the land use recommendation of the Southwest Area Plan. The project also includes companion Council Variance No. CV15-070 (ORD No. 0216-2016) that conditions the proposed development on a site plan.
