CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel being developed with a senior housing and commercial development in the C-4, Commercial and L-P-1, Limited Parking districts, previously permitted by a Council variance (Ordinance #0277-2016; CV15-055). The applicant proposes the AR-1, Apartment Residential District to conform the three story senior housing apartment building with attached commercial space on the site as conditioned by CV15-055. A concurrent Council variance (Ordinance #2030-2018; CV18-021) has been requested for variances to permitted uses, height district, landscaping and screening, minimum number of parking spaces from 95 to 82, vision clearance, building lines, and setbacks. The site is subject to the East Main Street Urban Commercial Overlay and is within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends “Higher Density Residential / Mixed Use Development” at this location. Staff finds the request to be consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendations and will contribute to the traditional and established development pattern along East Main Street.
