Commission approves amendment to MUBC conditional-use rules to allow more housing above commercial
Summary
The commission approved an amendment to Appendix C to remove a three-unit maximum for residential units above commercial in Mixed-Use Business Corridor districts and to set a 7,500 sq. ft. minimum for the first unit and 1,500 sq. ft. per additional unit, aiming to enable denser infill housing in urban corridors.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved an amendment to the Cleveland Zoning Ordinance on Jan. 20 that removes a three-unit cap on conditional-use residential units above commercial in Mixed-Use Business Corridor (MUBC) areas and establishes a minimum of 7,500 square feet for the first residential unit and 1,500 square feet for each additional unit.
Senior Planner Robert Varnell said the change corrects an unintended limit that could have stifled infill and mixed-use projects along urban corridors such as Inman Street and Wildwood. "If you can only get 3 units and you've got space to do more ... I want to fix this," Varnell said.
Ben Berry moved approval; the motion passed 9-0.
