PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN COMPATIBILITY WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET 1010 W 26th LLC (Sudhakar Allada) Rivera Engineering (Michael Rivera, PE) PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: March 12, 2024 CASE: SP-2022-0591C COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: Avalon Flats at Sixth ADDRESS OF SITE: 1808 W 6th St APPLICANT: AGENT: 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 compatibility setback to varied setbacks from less than one foot to just over 19 feet 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, and a smaller unit located almost wholly within the setback, but over six feet from the triggering property. 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. The site was originally designed under and compliant with the ordinances that allowed for greater height and reduced setbacks. The site design also has height and driveway setback issues that will need to be addressed by the Board of Adjustment at a separate hearing.
