Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-062A
Ordinance #2712-2020, passed December 14, 2020 (CV20-062), allowed a 204-unit apartment building with reduced development standards in the L-AR-2, Limited Apartment Residential District on property located at 3111 Hayden Road. The necessary variances were accurately reflected in the Title of Ordinance #2712-2020, but the corresponding rezoning (Ordinance #2711-2020; Z20-057) inadvertently granted a 35 foot height district when a 60 foot height district was necessary to accommodate the proposed building height. Instead of amending the height district of Ordinance #2711-2020, the applicant has decided to add a height variance to the concurrent Council variance. This ordinance amends Section 1 of Ordinance #2712-2020 to include a building height variance necessary for this project. No other aspects of Ordinance #2712-2020 are changing.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
