| 09/24/2020 | ELISA HAMBLIN | ZONING | REVIEW | Completed | CDRC Thursday Pre-Submittal Transmittal PDSD Zoning Review FROM: Elisa Hamblin, AICP; Principal Planner PROJECT: Thursday Pre-submittal meeting – T20PRE0119 Address: 2501 E Elm St Parcel(s): 11700402560 Zoning: C-1, R-2 Existing Use: Administrative and Professional Office Proposed Use: Flexible Lot Development TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 24, 2020 COMMENTS: 1. Development must comply with the Administrative Manual Section 2-06 - Development Package. 2. The proposed use is Flexible Lot Development, which is permitted in the R-2 and C-1 zones, subject to use-specific standards 8.7.3. 3. When a site is split by two different zones, the site may be developed in a unified manner, but the development standards for each must still be met. The proposed density of 30 units per acre does not meet the R-2 maximum density of 22 units per acre as permitted under the FLD Maximum Density Option. 4. The proposed building height exceeds the allowable height in the C-1 and R-2 zones. Height is limited to 25 ft. The FLD option does not modify this standard. A rezoning would likely be necessary to build to 36 ft. 5. The proposed buildings do not meet required setbacks on all sides of the development. a. R-2: North (nonresidential use to residential zone) requires 10 ft or ¾ the wall height. Minimum required is 27 ft. Proposed is 6 ft. b. R-2: East (nonresidential use to residential zone) requires 10 ft or ¾ the wall height. Minimum required is 27 ft. Proposed is 23 ft. c. C-2: East (nonresidential use to residential zone) requires 1.5 times the wall height. Minimum required is 54 ft. Proposed is 23 ft. d. South and West (street setback on Elm and Tucson) requires 21 ft or the wall height, as measured from the back of future curb. Minimum requirement is 36 ft. Proposed is unknown (need measurement from future curb). 6. Please note, setbacks cannot be modified by a Design Development Option (DDO) when developing an FLD or when adjacent to a Major Street and Route. 7. Provide additional information regarding site coverage standards. In an FLD, site coverage vs. lot coverage is used. See UDC Article 6.4.3. Maximum site coverage is 75%. Standards appear to be met, but additional information is needed. 8. Provide additional information with Development Package submittal regarding how the appropriate criteria for the Green Building standards related to the Maximum Density Option are being met. 9. Provide functional open calculation and indicate on the site plan with Development Package submittal. Minimum requirement is 161 sq ft / unit when building at more than 13 units/acre. 10. Parking and bike parking standards appear to be met. 11. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, a full review will be made by Zoning to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards.
