Public Hearings:
a.
Variance 1332 - Reda Lane - width of ground floor dwelling units - This is a variance request to one of the new zone district requirements for the Mixed Residential zones that limits the width of ground-floor units to 16 feet. The unit width requirement was intended to guide development to a denser multi-family pattern with multi-story buildings rather than single-story side-by-side apartments. Choosing the maximum ground-floor unit width was a starting point. Planning staff is monitoring this provision as implementation of the new code moves forward. We believe we will need to modify this code provision.
b.
Variance 1334 - 2910 3rd Ave S - reduce front build-to area from 5 feet to 0 feet for an addition on an existing building at 2910 3rd Ave S in a Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) zone district.
