Background:

Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 of the Downtown Residential Overlay District (DROD) are proposed to be modified to include two-family building forms in Area 5. The DROD was approved by the City Council in December 2017 and has been in effect since January 2, 2018. Since that time, one modification has been made to the document addressing transitional setbacks and other setback and textual changes.

 

With this modification to the DROD, staff is recommending updating Table 1 in Chapter 3 to include Two-Family (Duplex) as a permitted building form in Area 5, Rose District Transition Area. An additional update to Chapter 5.B, Design Standards by Building Form: Two-Family, will include requirements for Area 5 in the design standards.

 

In Chapter 2 of the DROD, the general description of Area 5, Rose District Transition, states that this area is to serve as a transition that buffers intensive commercial/mixed-use development from interior residential areas. As such, new construction and significant renovations should include a variety of building forms ranging from single-family to rowhouses to mixed-use buildings with limited commercial, such as neighborhood-level retail or small offices. In Section 3, Building Forms, the table of permitted building forms includes single-family, 3-Plex/4-Plex, rowhouses, and flats. In Staff’s opinion, including two-family building forms in Area 5 meets the criteria for the area stated in Chapter 2.

 

The following changes to Chapter 5.B are recommended to include standards for the two-family building form in Area 5.
