Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for rezoning of properties located at 1010, 1020, and 1030 Reserve St. The subject properties are located between South 8th Street West and South 9th Street West at the intersection of Reserve Street. It is currently developed with two detached houses.
The site is currently zoned B3-2 (Business Mixed-Use) with a Design Excellence Corridor - Typology 4 Overlay. The applicant is seeking to change the zoning to C2-3 (Community Commercial) with a Design Excellence Corridor - Typology 4 Overlay. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning district is a standard zoning districts that applies equally to other areas of the city with the same zoning. City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because State Law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.
The B3-2 and C2-3 zoning districts allow the same residential and nonresidential building types. To review all permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses for each zoning district, see Title 20, Section 20.10.020 and compare the B3 and C2 uses in the table.
The rezoning would increase the density from one dwelling unit per 2,000 square feet of parcel area to one dwelling unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. With the current B3-2 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 25 dwelling units. Under the proposed C2-3 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 51 dwelling units. The setbacks are the same for both zoning districts. The maximum permitted height would increase to 65 feet. The current maximum height is 50 feet.
For general rezoning information, review the FAQ’s on this page.
The subject property is in Franklin to the Fort Neighborhood and Council Ward 6.
