PROPOSED USE: Multi-unit residential developments with supplemental parking.
FIFTH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two separate multi-unit residential developments. The Broadview Apartments (Subarea A) is zoned in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District and is developed with a 66-unit apartment building as the result of Ordinance # 0711-2016 (Z15-051) and Ordinance # 0714-2016 (CV15-069), passed April 4, 2016. The Broadview Mews Condominiums (Subarea B) is zoned in the R-4, Residential District and is developed with 20 condominiums as the result of Ordinance # 1630-2007 (CV07-006), passed November 5, 2007. The requested Council variance will permit the addition of four parallel parking spaces that overlap the property line between Subarea A and Subarea B. The request includes updates to variances for landscaping and screening, parking space, and perimeter yard, with an additional variance for a reduced parking setback. An updated site plan is included. The site is located within the planning area of the Fifth by Northwest Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends medium-density mixed residential land uses at this location. Staff supports the requested addition of four parallel parking spaces as the new variances are minor and do not add incompatible uses to the neighborhood.
