UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an existing 12-unit apartment building (2333 Neil Avenue) in the R-2F, Residential District and an existing 2-unit dwelling (2339 Neil Avenue) split zoned in the R-2F, Residential District and AR-4, Apartment Residential District. Additionally, the site is subject to the University District Zoning Overlay (UDZO). The requested Council variance will conform the existing 12-unit apartment building and permit the addition of a unit at 2339 Neil Avenue, resulting in a 3-unit dwelling.
