Commission recommends SPUD-1814 after design changes that avoid front-yard parking
Summary
SPUD-1814 (two fourplexes at 2020 Southwest 10th Street) was recommended for approval after the applicant revised designs to eliminate front-yard parking and improve street presence; staff and the commission endorsed the updated plans.
Staff presented SPUD-1814, a SPUD application for two fourplexes at 2020 Southwest 10th Street in a Stockyards subdistrict, and recommended the commission send a positive recommendation to the planning commission. The project initially faced parking-layout challenges that would have required excessive paving and front-yard parking; staff and the applicant revised unit plans and site layout so that parking is not placed in the front yard and the buildings present a stronger street presence.
Applicant representative (who identified himself as Marura and said he goes by Mike) explained the project is already zoned R4 and the SPUD does not increase allowed density but instead adjusts design parameters to make parking and site layout workable. He said the units are planned as rentals and that he has worked with staff to address the parking constraints.
Commissioners supported the revised designs and approved a motion recommending SPUD-1814 to the planning commission. The transcript records a voice vote with the chair announcing approval.
Next steps: The planning commission will consider the recommendation and the applicant may return for a certificate of approval for architectural details or obtain administrative approvals where eligible.
