The proposal is to build a new four family dwelling on the current parking lot of the two family house know as 740-742 N 6th Street. The new building will be three stories and will NOT HAVE ANY PARKING. This is because current zoning laws do not require onsite parking for the new building close to the Light Rail Station. However, they do require some easements of current zoning rules. Specifically: “D1” Variance Approval for use, “D2” Variance Approval for expansion of non-conforming use (lot 31.01) and “C” Variances Approval for insufficient lot size, insufficient lot width, exceeding max impervious lot coverage x2, insufficient rear and side yard setbacks and any and all required variances and or waiver that may be necessary. The upcoming hearing will give residents affected by this construction an opportunity to share their views. The Zoning Board of Adjustment is obligated to balance the needs of local residents, the developers and the needs of the city. Parking is likely to be impacted the most. A new four family unit and the loss of the current off-street parking will significantly impact on those who have to park in the street. |
