Summary:
The following is a summary of information on the subject property. The applicant is requesting approval of a new building design in order to construct 138 new townhouses in 21 buildings. The total footprint of the revised buildings is 139,051 sq. ft. on a 468,252 sq. ft. (10.75 acre) site. The total lot coverage is 30%. The new building design was presented to the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) at the June 1 and July 6, 2021 AAC meetings where the Committee requested the applicant to revise the elevations and resubmit for an additional hearing.
At the previous two hearings, the applicant proposed two Vernacular or Superior Design Alternatives, which have been removed from the project. The project now complies with the Zoning regulations in lieu of proposing the Vernacular or Superior Design Alternatives.
This proposed development was approved by Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) on December 18, 2013, and by the AAC on July 7, 2014. The Development Order #13-12000041 is set to expire on July 15, 2024 through a letter issued by the Development Services Department on June 4, 2020 granting an extension to the Development Order (ZLT # 20-02000070). The AAC Development Order and building elevations that were previously approved have been uploaded to the AAC Documents folder for reference and review purposes.
The property is located west of NW 3rd Avenue, between NW 8th Street and NW 11th Street.
Pursuant to Section 155.2205, Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require such changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgement, may be requisite and appropriate to ensure that the exterior appearance of buildings and structures enhances the aesthetic character of the surrounding development by complying with the architectural appearance standards of this Code and approved design guidelines.
