Explanation
Rezoning Amendment Z16-017A
Ordinance # 1885-2016, passed July 25, 2016 (Z16-017), rezoned 1.08± acres from the ARLD, Apartment Residential District to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District for a mixed-use building containing approximately 2,000 square feet of commercial space and 78 apartment units. That legislation permitted an increased building height of 42 feet with a commitment to building elevation drawings. This legislation will amend Ordinance # 1885-2016 by modifying the CPD Text and Plan to increase the height of a portion of the proposed building from 42 feet to 52 feet, revise the arrangement of uses on the ground floor, and replace the building elevation drawings. The applicant has also filed an amendment (Ordinance # 1486-2017; CV16-017A) to concurrent Council variance Ordinance # 1886-2016 (CV16-017) to change the permitted four ADA-accessible residential units on the ground floor to two ADA-accessible units, leasing office, and a fitness center to be used by building residents or by the public. The modifications were reviewed by the Planning Division of the Department of Development to ensure that the proposal remains consistent with the land use and design-related 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. The Near East Area Commission also reviewed the modifications and recommends approval. This amendment does not alter any other requirement established by Ordinance # 1885-2016.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
