Title
An Ordinance to Amend the Zoning Map of Chapter 55 (Unified Development Code), Rezoning of 1.2 Acres from R4C Multiple-Family Dwelling District to R4E Multiple-Family Dwelling with Conditions, Near North, 700 N Main St (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 yes, 0 no) (ORD-26-17)
Memorandum
Approval of this ordinance will change the zoning designation of a 52,000-square-foot site on the east side of North Main Street, south of East Summit Street, from R4C Multiple-Family Dwelling District to R4E Multiple-Family Dwelling and accept, incorporate and adopt a condition to limit the maximum height with this designation to 75 feet.
At its May 5, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed rezoning designation is consistent with the current and future surrounding land uses and the Comprehensive Plan 2050. The offered condition to limit the maximum height to 75 feet (from unlimited) will align the R4E district development standards with the Transition future land use category recommended by the Comprehensive Plan 2050, a category intended to be a mixed-use area with a flexible blend of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces supporting moderate to higher-density housing to enhance walkability, encourage transit use and strengthen commercial activities within key nodes and corridors.
Rezoning will enable the future development of a six-story residential building with approximately 64 apartments. A site plan for Planning Commission approval has been submitted separately for approval following action on this ordinance.
