City Council Hearing Draft Code Amendments <br />Summary <br />13 <br /> <br />Use Regulations. Amendments clarify that multi-family and mixed-use development is <br />permitted in the DA and SA Districts, except that Conditional Use Permit approval is required <br />to allow ground floor residential on parcels fronting East 14th Street or Washington Avenue, <br />north of Parrott, consistent with the Downtown TOD Strategy and the East 14th Street South <br />Area Development Strategy. <br />Setbacks. Front setback requirements in the DA District are proposed to be modified to <br />reference the street sections of the applicable street type in the Downtown TOD Strategy in <br />order to provide objective standards while ensuring adequate building setbacks to <br />accommodate the planned street, sidewalk, and public amenity improvements. A minimum <br />setback for ground floor residential units is included in the DA and SA Districts, consistent with <br />the corresponding development strategy. <br />Daylight Plane. The existing Daylight Plane requirements for the Commercial and Professional <br />Districts are maintained except for modifications in the DA and SA Districts previously <br />described in the Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Development standards discussion. <br />Misc. Design standards specific to multi-family and mixed-use housing development types, <br />including amenity and open space requirements, are modified and relocated into a new set of <br />standards that apply to all multi-family and mixed-use housing throughout the City, described <br />under Citywide Standards, above. Other revisions are proposed to eliminate redundancies, <br />remove obsolete provisions, and consolidate and standardize processes for Administrative <br />Exceptions and Site Plan Review described under Administrative Provisions, below. <br />B-TOD, Industrial, and Public and Semi-Public Districts <br />Misc. Revisions are proposed to consolidate and standardize processes for Administrative <br />Exceptions and Site Plan Review described under Administrative Provisions, below.
