Commission approves rezoning and special permit for six-unit infill at 1814–1818 Arizona Avenue
Summary
The commission approved rezoning two parcels on Arizona Avenue from R-5 to A-O (apartment/office) and granted a special permit for infill development allowing a six-unit conversion and new three-unit building with a 50% parking reduction, providing eight parking spaces where 15 are required.
On Feb. 13 the City Plan Commission approved a rezoning and special permit to convert two parcels at 1814 and 1818 Arizona Avenue from R-5 (residential) to A-O (apartment/office) and to allow an infill multifamily development that will create six apartment units plus one business office.
Planning staff presented a detailed site development plan that is binding as part of the special permit. The proposal converts an existing nonconforming triplex and builds a new three-unit building for a total of six units. The development requires 15 parking spaces under code; the applicant sought and used the infill development provision that allows a 50% parking reduction and proposed eight parking spaces (including one accessible and three bicycle spaces).
Vehicular access will be from Arizona Avenue and the proposed buildings will have a maximum height of 24 feet. Staff said the proposed A-O zoning is compatible with surrounding residential and apartment districts and recommended approval of both the rezoning and special permit. No written public opposition was recorded in the staff report and no members of the public spoke during the hearing on these items.
The approval binds the applicant to the detailed site plan submitted with the special permit and the parking reduction provided under the infill rules. Subsequent building-permit review must match the approved site plan.
