Title
An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 55, Rezoning of 1.23 Acres from R4C (Multiple-Family Dwelling District) to PUD (Planned Unit Development District), City Place, 407-437 South Fifth Avenue (CPC Recommendation: Motion to Approve Failed - 2 Yeas and 6 Nays) (Ordinance No. ORD-08-39) (8 Votes Required)
Body
Approval of this ordinance will rezone the properties at 407-437 South Fifth Avenue to PUD to allow construction of a five-level, 90-unit apartment building consisting of 164 bedrooms and underground parking for 97 vehicles. The PUD Supplemental Regulations, which have been reviewed and found acceptable by the Attorney’s Office, propose a 208 percent maximum floor area ratio; smaller front, side and rear setbacks than are permitted in the R4C zoning district; and increased building height.

The City Planning Commission recommended denial of this request at its meeting of September 4, 2008. As contained in the attached minutes, concerns expressed in support of the denial recommendation involve the loss of the existing historic structures, PUD standards not being adequately met, inadequate public benefit, compliance with master plan recommendations and underlying zoning requirements, proposed density and height, and the potential for setting a precedence for redeveloping entire blocks.

The PUD site plan for this proposal will be submitted for Council consideration at the same meeting as the public hearing and second reading for the PUD rezoning.
