The gross floor areas of the units range from 1,985 square feet to 2,255 square feet. All units are three stories, under 35 feet in height, and contain private pools. The site will have a single driveway accessing Webberville Road and will provide on-site parking, community pool, landscaping, and public sidewalk improvements on 0.30 acres. Four waivers from compatibility setback requirements are being requested. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVERS: The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063(B)(2), which requires a structure setback of 25 feet from property on which a use permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located.

Affordability Impact Statement Density Bonus Combining District (DB-90) & Amendments to Chapter 4-18 of city code related to density bonus and incentive programs Case number: C20-2023-044 Date: February 8, 2024 Proposed Regulation • The proposed amendments to city code Chapter 25-2 will create the DB-90 combining district, a zoning category that enables entitlements and mixed uses in commercial zoning in exchange for affordable housing, similar to the City’s existing Vertical Mixed-Use program. The combining district will: o Be available via rezoning request for properties in a range of commercial base zoning o Require a minimum number of on-site income-restricted units For rental units: • 10% of units set-aside affordable to 50% Median Family Income (MFI); or • 12% of units set-aside affordable to 60% MFI; or For ownership units: • 12% of ownership units set-aside affordable to 80% MFI; and o Offer applicants up to 90 feet of total project height and exemptions to select design standards • The proposed amendments to city code Chapter 4-18 will: o Add guidelines for applicants who intend to redevelop occupied residential units and require benefits for tenants in these scenarios o Require applicants to replace dwelling units at and below 80% MFI (market-rate or income- restricted) that would be removed in redevelopment Prevent income source discrimination o o Apply only to density bonus programs created after Feb 1, 2024 1 of 3 Land Use/Zoning Impacts on Housing Costs The proposed changes would have a positive impact on housing costs via land use and zoning. The DB-90 program would expand opportunities for mixed use development patterns and housing adjacent to transit, in line with city goals for efficient growth. Impact on Development Cost The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on development costs. There are no direct impacts to development cost anticipated as a result of these amendments. Impact on Affordable Housing The proposed changes would have a positive impact on subsidized affordable housing. This incentive program would create an additional pathway to increasing subsidized affordable rental supply at 50 and 60% MFI and ownership supply at 80% MFI without direct public subsidies. In addition, the City may elect to subsidize additional for-sale and rental residential units in the building. The proposed amendments to Ch 4-18 will ensure that dwelling units created through the city’s incentive programs are more accessible to renters regardless of income source. They will further prevent long-term …
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-044 Density Bonus Zoning District Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zone, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Background: Initiated by Resolution No. 20240201-026. In 2006, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20060331-068, creating the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU Overlay) and standards for Vertical Mixed Use Buildings (VMU Building). The standards exempted VMU Buildings from certain site development regulations and reduced minimum off-street parking requirements in exchange for community benefits, including affordable housing. In 2007, Ordinance No. 20070215-071 instituted an opt-in process that allowed areas within adopted neighborhood plans to incorporate properties into the VMU Overlay. In 2013, Ordinance No. 20130606-088, made significant amendments to Subchapter E, including to the standards for VMU Buildings. This included site design standards applicable to sites adjacent to SF-5 or more restrictive zoning districts. In 2021, amendments to the City’s VMU Overlay, including the creation of a second-tier bonus program commonly referred to as VMU2, were initiated through City Council Resolution No. 20211118-052. The Resolution directed staff to process code amendments to allow for an additional 30’ in height beyond the base zone standards for developments participating in the new tier of the density bonus program and proposed affordability requirements for such developments. In June of 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20220609-080, implementing the code amendments initiated through the 2021 Council resolution. In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056, and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. In February 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20240201-026, which directed staff to create a density bonus program resembling the provisions under VMU2. Summary of Proposed Code Amendment: The proposed code amendments will create a new combining district for an affordable housing bonus program that is similar to the City’s existing vertical mixed use program and: 1. Is available city-wide on parcels that have been rezoned to add the new combining district designation; 2. Serves the following households and requires a minimum number of on-site affordable units: a. For rental units: 1 of 418 C20-2023-044 - Density Bonus Zoning District i. 10% of units set-aside affordable to 50% Median Family Income (MFI); or ii. 12% of units set-aside affordable to 60% MFI; or b. 12% of ownership units set-aside affordable to …

IMPACT FEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION 20240213-001 Street Impact Fee (SIF) Exemptions for Day-Care Land Uses Date: 02/13/2024 Subject: Motioned By: Committee Member Channy Soeur Seconded By: Vice Chair Susan Turrieta Recommendation Exempt all day-care land uses from paying any Street Impact Fees. Description of Recommendation to Council According to Ordinance Number 20201210-061, Part 2(D)(4), developments intending to function as daycares are exempt from paying Impact Fees if their size is under 1,000 square feet. For developments ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 square feet, the fee is set at $608 per vehicle- mile. Any development exceeding 5,000 square feet must pay the complete Street Impact Fee according to their Service Area. The Impact Fee Advisory Committee recommends that Council amend this section of the ordinance by removing “Day Care Center” from the list of exempted land uses which have tiered reductions. Additionally, the Committee recommends the addition of Part 2(D)(7) stating the following: “For “Day Care Center” land uses per the LUVMET in all Service Areas, the collection rate is $0 per vehicle-mile.” Rationale: The purpose of these changes is to reduce the fee for all day cares, regardless of size, to zero, as there is a public benefit to incentivizing development of these types of facilities in all areas of the City.
