The proposed development includes a pool. DESCRIPTION OF COMPATIBILITY VARIANCE: 1) From 50 feet to 25 feet for Intensive Recreation (pool) along the easterly setback. [LDC § 25-2-1067] SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Compatibility Waiver. The site consists of two separate parcels to be joined by a Unified Development Agreement.

The applicant proposes to use that portion of the site for access, the development of 14 of the multifamily residential (condominium) units and an open space area with a po (approximately 33 feet by 12 feet). The pool is within 50 feet of the rear yard fences of two existing single family residences to the east. A fence is shown along the shared property line.

PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN COMPATIBILITY WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET CASE: SP-2022-0591C PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: March 13, 2024 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: Avalon Flats at Sixth ADDRESS OF SITE: 1808 W 6th St APPLICANT: 1010 W 26th LLC (Sudhakar Allada) AGENT: Rivera Engineering (Michael Rivera, PE) AREA: 0.4661 acre WATERSHED: Johnson Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: N/A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a multifamily development with nine free-standing units, with associated improvements and is requesting a waiver from 25-2-1063 to allow for a reduced setback. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned MF-4-CO-NP. The use and site plan generally comply with the zoning ordinance. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: Waiver request is as follows: LDC Section 25-2-1063(B): A person may not construct a structure 25 feet or less from property: 1) In an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district; or 2) On which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive district is located. The applicant requests a waiver from a 25-foot to approximately 24’6-foot compatibility setback for residences and related improvements. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to allow an encroachment of less than one foot of the two units on the southeast side of the lot into the compatibility setback triggered by the adjacent single-family use. The driveway is wholly within the compatibility setback, and the buildings as designed do not meet current height requirements. The site was originally designed under and compliant with the ordinances that allowed for greater height and reduced setbacks. The height and driveway setback issues will need to be addressed by the Board of Adjustment at a separate hearing. The site’s buildable area is constrained by its shape and being bounded by three rights-of-way, and will be compatible with the scale of residential development in the surrounding area.
