FAR Issues – Outside the Scope of BOA Authority The NCCD specifies FAR for single-family and duplex uses. The City later introduced two- and three-family dwelling terminology, so that the HOME ordinance applies citywide, including within NCCDs. NCCD was specifically designed to impose regulation on then existing uses. HOME ordinance specifically added 3-plex regulation on city wide scale. Home Ordinance Being regulation adopted later in time and covering the whole City it is the controlling regulation for this project. Any change to NCCD FAR requires action by Mayor and Council and is outside the authority of the BOA. The building orientation issue was not identified as a distinct ground in the original appeal or preserved as a specific issue for Board determination. ITEM08/1-PRESENTATION-PERMIT HOLDERThe building orientation issue were not before the Board in the original appeal and therefore cannot serve as a basis for reconsideration. The deadline for appeal is passed and no other item can be added into consideration after that. Even if we consider this item, the BLDG 2 front and back are exactly the same and either side can be called building front. ITEM08/2-PRESENTATION-PERMIT HOLDERThe lot is surrounded by multifamily buildings and the blue area marks rental/investment property. This particular area is already heavily populated by tenants. Over 11 houses in North University NCCD have over 15 bedrooms, and are rentals. This is a modest project and it is not located at Historical Aldridge Place, where most of the houses are single family. ITEM08/3-PRESENTATION-PERMIT HOLDER The block of 34th Street where this project is located consists of poorly maintained houses, tear- downs, and homes in desperate condition. It is also surrounded by multifamily and commercial properties, where new single-family, low-density construction would be inconsistent with the surrounding context and economically impractical, placing the owner at a financial loss. The ITEM08/4-PRESENTATION-PERMIT HOLDERproposed development not only provides more affordable housing but also improves the overall appearance of this particular block, which is, without exaggeration, in very poor condition.
