Item No: 22-179
Responsible Dept: Planning/Legal
Action Requested: District Map Change Map/Lot: 046/053
Title, Ordinance
Amending Chapter 165, Land Development Code, District Map, by changing the Parcel of Land addressed at
311 Broadway from Urban Residence 1 District (URD-1) to Urban Residence 2 District (URD-2).
Summary
NKSE Investment, LLC is requesting 311 Broadway to be re -zoned from the Urban Residence 1 District (URD-
1) to Urban Residence 2 District (URD-2).
The neighboring property to the north is currently zoned URD-2, while other surrounding properties are zoned
URD-1, G&ISD (government and institutional), and NSD (neighborhood service district). The 2012
Comprehensive Plan indicates this property as institutional.
The change to URD-2 would allow for more units on this property, provided dimensional controls are met. The
Council has been dedicated to allowing for more units where reasonable and feasible for the last few years and
passed a policy to this effect. The 2019 recommendations from the accepted Affordable Housing Work Group
also indicate the City should seek to create housing units where possible.

From the staff report:
A. The maximum buildout for this lot under URD-2 dimensional requirements is a two-family dwelling.
B. The area is a transitional mix of single-family residences and 2 families units. The hospital
campus is also in this neighborhood.
C. The 2019 Affordable Housing Work Group, along with the policy of the City Council to create more
