UPDATE: On May 15, 2023 City Council voted to approve the rezoning to B2-1 Community Business with a Design Excellence Overlay at 327 SW Higgins Avenue. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for rezoning of a property located at 327 SW Higgins Avenue. The subject property contains an existing multi-tenant commercial building. The site is currently zoned B1-1 Neighborhood Business with the Design Excellence Corridor Typology 2 overlay. The applicant is seeking to change the zoning to B2-1 Community Business with the Design Excellence Corridor Typology 2 overlay. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning district is a standard zoning district that applies equally to other areas of the City with the same zoning designation. City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because state law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.
The B1 zoning district permits all residential building types, a variety of public/civic uses, and limited commercial uses. There are no required setbacks for this parcel because it does not abut a residential zoning district. The maximum height limit is 40 feet. The current zoning district permits a density of 43 dwelling units per acre.
The B2 zoning district permits all the same uses as the B1 zoning district, with the addition of more commercial and limited industrial uses. The required setbacks and maximum height are the same as the B1 zoning district. This zoning district permits a density of 43 dwelling unit per acre.
The subject property is in the Farviews/Pattee Canyon Neighborhood Council and City Council Ward 4.
