PROJECT NAME:
Rezoning: 455 Mount & 910 Brooks from R5.4 Residential & C1-4 Commercial / Design Excellence Overlay to M1R-3 Limited Industrial-Residential & M1R-3 / Design Excellence Overlay
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for rezoning of properties located at 455 Mount Avenue and 910 Brooks Street. The subject properties are located southeast of the intersection at Mount Avenue and Brooks Street. It is currently developed with one detached house, a multi-tenant commercial building, and a large detached garage structure. 455 Mount Avenue is currently zoned R5.4 Residential and 910 Brooks Street is currently zoned C1-4 Neighborhood Commercial / Design Excellence Overlay Corridor Typology 1-Node.
The applicant has concurrently applied for a boundary line relocation to allow the property at 910 Brooks Street to acquire a portion of the existing 455 Mount Avenue property containing the detached garage. Under the current zoning, a boundary line relocation would create a split-zoned parcel at 910 Brooks Street, which is not allowed under Title 20 Zoning Regulations. A rezone is required to create zoning districts that align with the new lot boundaries.
The applicant is requesting the proposed parcel at 910 Brooks Street be rezoned to M1R-3 Limited Industrial-Residential / Design Excellence Overlay Corridor Typology 1-Node. The remaining parcel at 455 Mount is requested to be rezoned to M1R-3 Limited Industrial-Residential. The Design Excellence Overlay applies additional site and building standards to new construction and modifications of existing development. Fore more information, view the Design Excellence page on the City’s website.
910 Brooks: The existing C1-4 and proposed M1R-3 zoning districts allow the same residential building types and similar uses, but the existing C1-4 allows maximum building heights of up to 125 feet and the requested M1R-3 only allows buildings of up to 65 feet. Both zoning districts allow for a density of one dwelling unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. The current lot configuration would allow for 37 dwelling units. The proposed lot configuration would allow for 49 dwelling units, though no new development is currently proposed. Setbacks are the same for both zoning districts. To review all permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses for each zoning district, see Title 20, Section 20.10.020 and Title 20, Section 20.15.20 and compare the C1-4 and M1R-3 uses in Tables 20.10-1 and 20.15-1.
455 Mount Avenue: The existing R5.4 Residential zoning district allows for detached houses and lot line houses at a density of one dwelling unit per 5,400 square feet of parcel area. The current lot layout and zoning would allow for up to three dwelling units. The proposed M1R-3 zoning district allows one dwelling unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. The proposed zoning and lot layout would allow for 6 dwelling units, though no new development is currently proposed. The R5.4 zoning district has a maximum height of 30 or 35 feet depending on roof pitch. The M1R-3 district has a 65 foot height maximum. The R5.4 district requires a 20-foot front and rear setback and a 7.5-foot side setback. The M1R-3 zoning district does not have setbacks unless the parcel abuts a residential zoning district. In this case, 455 Mount Avenue would require a 20-foot front setback on Mount Ave. and a 7.5-foot side setback on the east property line. The R5.4 zoning district primarily only allows residential development. The M1R-3 zoning district allows for residential, commercial, and some limited industrial development. To review all permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses for each zoning district, see Title 20, Section 20.05.020 and Title 20, Section 20.15.20 and compare the R5.4 and M1R-3 uses in Tables 20.05-1 and 20.15-1.

The subject property is in the Rose Park Neighborhood and Council Ward 3.
