The property is on the edge of the TOD boundaries and would not cause a “donut-hole” in the TOD area.

The Conditional Overlay would prohibit the following uses permitted within the LR base zoning district: alternative financial services; consumer convenience services; communication services facilities; financial services; food sales; local utility services; off-site accessory parking; personal improvement services; pet services; plant nursery; printing and publishing; restaurant (limited); restaurant (general); safety services; service station; urban farm; community recreation; club/lodge; custom manufacturing; college and university facilities; community events; community recreation (private); community recreation (public); guidance services; hospital services (limited); residential treatment; and special use historic.

This area of Red River is low-slung, primarily single family or townhome-type density with some limited sites zoned for and being used as neighborhood commercial uses. It is not an area of sites developed for dense and intense multifamily uses also situated in tall (greater than 40 feet) buildings. And, although Red River Street is categorized as ASMP level 3 at the site, it changes to an ASMP level 1 just two blocks north. Staff does support rezoning this site as mixed use and supports an …
