Rezoning Application: Z13-015

PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on May 9, 2013.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. Given the predominance of multi-unit dwellings to the north and south and the commercial use to the east, Staff finds the proposed use and zoning compatible with the zoning pattern and development pattern of the area. Staff believes the storage yard to the west will eventually be redeveloped and this proposal will not negatively impact it while it is there. Staff also finds the proposed use to be compatible with the recommendation of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009).
