Summary:
The applicant is requesting a Minor Deviation to the Development Order for the 2400 E Atlantic Mixed-Use Development Building Design, which was approved by this Committee on July 1, 2025. The proposed deviations to the site plan include a minor reduction in the number of dwelling units from 397 to 357 which results in the removal of a Density Bonus, a modification to building height at the southeast portion of the development from three stories to two, a reduction in the number of parking spaces, and other minor changes. The changes are detailed in the applicant’s Site Plan Amendment Narrative. Because of changes to the buildings’ exterior appearance, the proposed Minor Deviation is before this Committee for consideration.
Subsequent applications for a Zoning Compliance Permit for development authorized by a Development Order for a Site Plan may include minor deviations from the approved plans and conditions without the need to amend the Site Plan, pursuant to Section 155.2407.H. Such deviations, however, are limited to changes that the Development Services Director determines would not:
1. Increase or significantly decrease the density of residential development;
2. Increase or decrease the number of building stories;
3. Materially alter the drainage, streets, or other engineering design;
4. Adversely impact the management of stormwater quality or stormwater quantity;
5. Substantially affect the terms of the original approval;
6. Result in significant adverse impacts on the surrounding properties or the City at large; or
7. Increase or significantly decrease the intensity of nonresidential development that affects the overall character of the project.
Staff Conditions:
1. Provide architectural treatment for the required parking garage screening for the south portion of the garage that is visible over the now-two-story apartment building.
2. The proposed water consumption and wastewater discharge demands are shown as 100,314 GPD. A system capacity study with the city’s consultant is required. The study will assess the water/wastewater system and project impacts under average and maximum daily demand conditions, including system pressure, fire flow, water age, and quality. All associated costs of the impact study will be the responsibility of the owner/developer. All required improvements to the system resulting from the project will be at the developer's cost.
3. Provide evidence of certification by the Sustainable Sites Initiative, required as a Sustainable Development option.
4. The conditions of the Development Order remain, with the exception of condition #1 for Vernacular or Superior Design Alternative approval and condition #6 for Density Bonus Option #3.
