Council approves site plan for multifamily project at 11407 N. 50th Street with conditions and mitigation fees

The City Council approved a resolution on Sept. 20 authorizing site-plan SPR 21-09 for a multifamily residential redevelopment at 11407 North 50 Second Street.

Senior Planner Gus Karpus described the project as a rehabilitation of four existing structures (14 units) together with construction of a new three-story mixed-use building containing 24 additional units and about 2,017 square feet of office space on the ground floor. The new building's ground floor would include covered parking, with the second and third floors housing residential units. The project was previously rezoned and granted a bonus intensity zone overlay (BIZO) as part of a 2019 rezoning that included conceptual approvals; the site plan before council provides the detailed, constructible plans.

Karpus said the new building would be 35 feet in height (the maximum allowed) and that rooftop decks previously proposed were removed following neighbor comments. The development review committee recommended approval subject to conditions and noted the applicant must pay tree-mitigation fees (approximately $56,000'$57,600) and traffic-concurrency fees ($47,628) prior to issuance of building permits. The applicant told council the current submittal is substantially identical to the conceptual plan approved in 2020 aside from removal of rooftop decks and some exterior adjustments; interior work on the existing units will include rehabilitation as part of the project scope.

Council approved the resolution without recorded opposition; staff will ensure required fees and conditions are met before permits are issued.
