Explanation
Council Variance Amendment: CV16-017A
Ordinance # 1886-2016, passed July 25, 2016 (CV16-017), was approved in conjunction with Rezoning Ordinance # 1885-2016 (Z16-017), a request to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District for mixed-use 78-unit apartment development. Ordinance # 1886-2016 granted a variance to specifically permit four ground-floor residential units within the proposed building. The applicant has revised the proposed building to contain two ground-floor residential units, a leasing office, and a fitness center. This ordinance will replace Ordinance # 1886-2016 to permit ground-floor residential or accessory residential uses, and requires approximately 1,969 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor in addition to the residential uses. No other provisions of Ordinance # 1886-2016 are changing. The applicant has also filed an amendment to Ordinance # 1885-2016 (Ordinance # 1485-2017; Z16-017A) to allow for increased building height, and to replace the CPD Plan and building elevation drawings. The proposal remains consistent with the land use recommendations of the Near East Area Plan (2005) and the Olde Towne Quarter Economic Development Strategy (2010), both of which recommend mixed commercial and residential uses for this location.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
