On November 7, 2017, the City Council approved the Preliminary Plat.

1. Approve the final plat with no conditions.
2. Approve the final plat with added conditions.
3. Deny the final plat based on non-compliance with the Zoning Code, the Subdivision Code, and/or the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications for New Infrastructure.

On August 5, 2016, the Inter-Division Staff approved a Site Plan for a 3-story Courtyard Apartment Building based on compliance with all development standards.

On August 29, 2017, the property owner recorded a Transect Zone Form to change the Community Commercial (CC) non-transect zone to T4N.1 transect zone. The property is located in the National Register "North End Historic Residential District," which does not require design review by the Heritage Preservation Commission. An existing building constructed in 1961 had been used for commercial/office uses and included a parking lot at the east end of the property. Due to the structure's age and finding of no significant integrity, a Cultural Resource Survey was not required prior to demolition of the existing structure.

A Courtyard Apartment Building (Section 10-50.110.150) is a permitted building type in the T4N.1 transect zone. The Inter-Division Staff approved the Site Plan for an apartment building in August 2016 and the developer has pulled a building permit for the building. As such, the developer may commence construction of an apartment building without plat approval. However, the developer has opted to create a condominium plat to enable individual ownership of each unit. In this case the units are defined as the air space within the walls of each structure. The preliminary plat delineates all of the common elements (e.g., courtyard, planters) and limited common elements (e.g., private porches, parking spaces) affiliated with the individual units. The findings for this development request relate to subdivision plats. Additional information regarding building types and the transect zone are for information only.

Approval and development of the final plat will allow the construction of twelve (12) residential condominium units.

Inform. No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision Code as part of the City Council's review of the final plat.
