PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on November 14, 2019.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a portion of a parcel that is undeveloped and zoned in the ARLD, Apartment Residential District. The western portion of the parcel is developed with a commercial building that is already zoned in the C-3, Commercial District. The requested rezoning will establish the C-3, Commercial District on the entire parcel thereby permitting a parking lot on the subject site and expansion and conversion of the existing building into an eating and drinking establishment. The site is within the boundaries of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends higher density residential and mixed-use development along this portion of Mt. Vernon Avenue. The site is also subject to the Mt. Vernon Urban Commercial Overlay. The requested zoning district is consistent with the Near East Area Plan’s land use recommendation and with the established development pattern along Mt. Vernon Avenue. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #3331-2019; CV19-089) has been filed to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required for the proposed eating and drinking establishment.
