Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the 922-926 Catherine Street Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 5-unit multiple-family building.
Petition Summary:
· The site plan proposes combining two vacant lots and rezoning the lots from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Multiple-Family Residential (R4C), consistent with surrounding zoning.
· The site plan includes a 3-story, 5-unit multiple-family building with a total of 9,760 square feet with 9 parking spaces under the building.
· The site is located in the Old Fourth Ward historic district. The building design and site layout were approved by the Historic District Commission on April 12, 2012.
· A variance from the conflicting land use buffer requirement was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 22, 2012.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of July 17, 2012, approved a landscape modification and recommended approval of this request, subject to the granting of the conflicting land use buffer variance and subject to combining the lots prior to issuance of building permits.
