CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance # 0595-2019; Z18-061) to the AR-2, Apartment Residential District to allow the development of an apartment complex. The requested variances will reduce the parking setback from 25 feet to 5 feet along Henderson Road, the building setback from 60 feet to 5 feet along Henderson Road, and the perimeter yard from 25 feet to 2 feet on the western perimeter, 0 feet on the southern perimeter, and 3 feet on the eastern perimeter. Staff supports the variances as they will allow flexibility in the site design that include streetscape improvements and expanded greenspace on the site. A site plan commitment is also included with a design that ensures that this proposed development, along a primary corridor, is compatible with surrounding development and logically fits with potential future redevelopment scenarios.
