Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV21-071A

Ordinance #3016-2021 (CV21-071), passed December 13, 2021, a concurrent Council variance to Ordinance #3015-2021 (Z21-054), included variances for reduced development standards in the AR-3, Apartment Residential District for a multi-unit residential development. This ordinance updates the variances requested because the overall development site, after annexation into the city, contains parcels with different taxing districts, and therefore cannot be combined into one parcel. This has resulted in the addition of a variance to the minimum number of parking spaces required per parcel, noting that the overall required parking for the development will be met. Modifications to the previously-approved variances for maneuvering, parking space, building coverage, and rear yard are also included. Staff supports the modified variances as they are the direct result of the applicant’s inability to combine parcels, and the site plan previously committed to with Ordinance #3016-2021 remains unchanged.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

5TH BY NORTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
