PROPOSED USE: Commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on June 9, 2022.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels, each developed with a single-unit dwelling in the AR-12, Apartment Residential District and is within the Morse Road Regional Commercial Overlay (RCO). The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit redevelopment of the site with a 4,300 square foot commercial building containing 1,700 square feet of retail space and 2,600 square feet of eating and drinking establishment space. The CPD text proposes C-3, Commercial District uses and includes supplemental development standards addressing setbacks, access, landscaping, and building materials. The site is within boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “High Density Residential” land uses for this location. While the proposed use is not consistent with this recommendation, the requested CPD district is consistent with the zoning pattern and commercial context of Morse Road. Additionally, the site plan demonstrates a site layout with parking and circulation to the rear of the building, and increased landscaping and street trees along Morse Road, consistent with the Plan’s guidelines and RCO requirements, along with adequate buffering and screening from surrounding residential uses.
