504 East Sixth Street
Part of Trapnall Block (long legal)
"H -R" High Density Residential
variance
Requested: Relief from the Bulk and Area
provisions of Section 43-36 of the
City Code of Ordinances.
Present Use of
Property: Multifamily Residential
Proposed Use of
Property: Same
Staff Recommendation:
Ordinance requirements for the development of this property
are as follows:
Front yard -
25
feet
Floor area
ratio -
ratio
2.3
- 0.32
Rear yard -
20
feet
Open space
Livability
ratio
- 0.22
Side yards -
5
feet
while it appears that the proposal would comply with the
basic tenants of the various ratio requirements, setback
requirements would be severely violated. It appears to
staff_ that the applicant is trying to cram too much onto the
site. The difficulty lies not so much within the framework
of the number of units proposed, but rather within staff's
further concern that no on-site parking will be provided.
Parking is proposed on the property immediately to the east.
This would be a lease arrangement, which in the realistic
sense cannot be expected to be long-term.
