PROPOSED USE: Apartment building with on-site services.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on November 12, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the C-4, Commercial District. Council variance Ordinance #1932-2019 (CV19-055) permitted ground floor residential uses at this location for the competitive funding process by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The applicant proposes the AR-O, Apartment Office District to permit a 76-unit apartment building featuring on-site services for residents of this building and the adjacent facility to the south. The site is within the boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends community commercial land uses at this location, including office and institutional uses. Staff is supportive of the use which is institutional in nature. Additionally, the proposed building is of a compatible style, scale and density with surrounding developments, and will not add incompatible uses to the area. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2808-2020; CV20-085) has been filed to reduced parking and building setbacks, vision clearance, rear yard, and a reduction to the minimum number of required parking spaces.
