The requested AR-2, Apartment Residential District will permit a multi-unit residential development.

A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #2649-2022; CV22-013) has been submitted and includes variances to reduce parking lot landscaping and screening requirements, the minimum number of parking spaces required, and the building setback line along Taylor Avenue.
