PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 10, 2016.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 0.75± acre site consists of three parcels zoned M, Manufacturing District that are developed with industrial buildings and parking. The applicant is requesting to rezone all three parcels to the AR-3, Apartment Residential District to allow multi-unit residential development. This site is located within the boundaries of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends mixed use, including multi-unit residential uses, for this location. While the Plan does not include density guidelines for this location, the proposed density is compatible with the adjacent residential uses. The requested AR-3, Apartment Residential District is more consistent with the surrounding zoning district and land uses than the existing M, Manufacturing District. A concurent Council Variance (CV16-003) has been filed to vary parking lot, landscaping, lot coverage, building lines, and yard standards.
