PROPOSED USE: Mixed-use development.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels zoned in the AR-O, Apartment Office, and C-4, Commercial districts. The requested Council variance proposes a six-story, approximately 100-unit apartment building with garage parking in the AR-O district, and a six-story mixed-commercial building with 46,780± square feet of general office space and 11,062± square feet of retail space in the C-4 district. Parking for the commercial building will be provided within the garage of the apartment building. The request includes additional variances to increase building heights and lot coverage, and to reduce parking and building setback lines, parking space size, and vision clearance. The site is located in the vicinity of several sites that received Council variances to allow similar multi-story mixed use projects along the High Street corridor. There is no Council adopted plan for this area, but the proposal will permit a multi-story mixed-use development that is consistent with the development pattern and historic character of the surrounding neighborhood.
