Staff does not have concerns with disposition of this portion of the subject lot as the utility storage building is no longer needed by the City. The land disposition will also allow for redevelopment of the lot, which is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use goal of encouraging redevelopment oriented toward the waterfront. RECOMMENDATION/FINDING Staff recommends approval of the land disposition as proposed, with the following finding: 1. This parcel is no longer needed for public use. Subject site Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Project Name: 0 W. 4th Avenue JAN. 6TH, 2023 Land Disposition Request Narrative: Proposed Use of Property: The parcel is proposed to be developed to consist of a thirty-unit multi-family residential building with a sixty-one stall off-street parking lot. Existing Use of Property: The parcel currently has a vacant former office/storage building that is not used. Identification of structures on the property and discussion of their relationship to the project: The existing vacant office/storage building is proposed to be razed and a new two-story thirty-unit multi-family building is proposed to be constructed. Projected number of residents, employees, and/or daily customers: The proposed thirty-unit building is anticipated to consist of (16) one-bedroom and (14) two-bedroom dwelling units. Actual number of occupants is expected to range from forty-four to sixty-six occupants. Effects on adjoining properties to include noise, hours of operation, glare, odor, fumes, vibration, etc: The property abuts a residential area to it’s south. The proposed residential land use is consistent with the neighboring land use. Noise, hours of operation, glare, odor, fumes, vibration, etc are anticipated to be of the same scale as those created and already existing via the similar adjacent land uses. Surrounding Land Uses: Land use to the: east: vacant green space (zoned RMU-PD-RFO) south: primarily single family residential (zoned TR-10) west: building with former video rental store and restaurant (zoned RMU) north: city park (zoned RMU-PD-RFO) Compatibility of the proposed use with adjacent and other properties in the area: The property abuts a residential area to it’s south. The proposed residential land use is consistent with the neighboring land use. The proposed residential development is in general proximity to retail areas to the west and to a city park area to the north. It is our opinion that these land uses compliment and benefit from each other. Traffic Generation: An unknown percentage of the expected (44) to (66) building tenants are anticipated to have personal vehicles that will be parked at the off-street parking lot. Individual tenant schedules are expected to disperse additional traffic rather than create times of peak traffic volume. West 4th Avenue, which is used to access the development, terminates not far east of the parcel; thus additional traffic flow from other adjacent properties is expected to be insignificant. This street is not used as a primary traffic route.
