PLANNING STAFF: Approval
STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting a land use amendment from Suburban to Commercial Redevelopment Corridor for development of 24 single-family attached townhome units and six single-family detached units. The applicant is interested in extending the Commercial Redevelopment Corridor northwest of an existing Commercial Redevelopment Corridor designation. Because this property is oriented and has primary access to a major arterial road, and is adjacent to existing CRC character area, the proposed request appears to be consistent with the following policies and strategies of the CRC character area as well as general policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (CRC Policy 7.18) Development: Focus development on parcels that abut or have access to the designated Commercial Redevelopment Corridor. (CRC Policy 7.6) Density -Cluster high density development at nodes & along major corridor outside of established residential areas. The comprehensive plan will support extending the Commercial Redevelopment Corridor designation, northwest of the existing CRC designation. It should be noted that the comprehensive plan will not support development that could alter established single-family residential development patterns and density. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Department that the application be “Approved, with the necessary buffer to mitigate impacts upon residential area”.
