District Intent: The U2 District is established to provide for,promote, and maintain the development of diverse housing types in urban neighborhoods located near neighborhood centers in core and outlying Y g areas of the City. Site Plan Description: The site plan as submitted shows the construction of a detached"tiny house" to the south of the current house and a"Garage Carriage House" to the east of the current house. The house to south will require a subdivision prior to design and installation. The carriage house will be designed to meet the current development standards of the district. Zoningand Land Use Historyand Trends: The surrounding properties have seen a marked changed in the past 15 years from single family homes and light industrial uses to primarily dense single family and townhomes with the construction of housing on the old TRANSPO Depot site just across the street from this parcel. In 2015 and 2016, two large parcels on the west side of Frances were rezoned to MF 1 to allow for townhomes. In 2019, several lots on the west side of Frances received a Special Exception for duplexes. Traffic and Transportation Considerations: Frances Street is two lanes with on-street parking. The property is bordered to the south by an alley as well as an alley to the east. Agency Comments Agency Comments: There were no Engineering comments at this time. Staff Comments: Zoning of properties to U2 Urban Neighborhood 2 allows for the creation of more diverse and affordable housing types. These housing types blend well with the character and scale of existing urban neighborhoods. With its location in a walkable neighborhood that is close to downtown, amenities, and transit, and that already has a wide variety of housing types, this property is well suited for U2 zoning.
