O. # 97-161 A. General Desertion. Applicant requests a change from Government and Institutional Service District to Multi -Family, and Service District for a parcel of land just under 1/2 acre in area, which extends for the width of the block between Union Street and Hammond Street west of the intersection of those two streets. The parcel presently has a residential structure on ri which fronts on Hammond Street. It is awned by the Theological Seminary and was zoned G &ISD along with the contiguous campus of the Seminary extending westward from the property line of this parcel The application indicates the existing use is'mull family" and that the proposed use is "multifamily.° B. Land Use and ZoningP�licv. The Citys land use policy for this area is for high density residential and the implementing zoning policy far the high density residential use of the area is for UR0.2 zoning. The "high density residential° area extends from approximately this point on Hammond Street in -town and the land use policy for the area farther out Hammond Street from this site is for "low density residential." That is one of the reasons why Me zoning proposed for this area is URD -2 rather than Multi -Family and Service (which is Me zoning policy fuller in -town on Hammond Street from this site). C. Urban Service . The site in question has a full range of urban services available to it and, therefore, is within the Citys Primary Service Area. D. Existing Conditions. The existing zoning in this area is Government and Institutional Services within the Union Street and Hammond Street block on the Seminary land, Multi -Family and Service zoning for two small parcels between this parcel and the junction of Union Street and Hammond Street and URD -2 opposite this parcel on Union Street and opposite this parcel on Hammond Street. The URD -2 areas contain a mixture of one, two, three and four family dwellings for the most part. (There is one muni -family dwelling with ten units on the opposite site of Hammond Street from this property. The property immediately abutting the lot in question on the east side contains a large brick building with 27 dwelling units in it and it is zoned Multi -Family and Service and was zoned R-5 under the 1974 Ordinance.) Under the 1991 revision to the Land Development Code several of the blocks in the Union Street and Hammond Street area on either side of this parcel were rezoned from R-5 to URD -2 in order to protect what was predominantly a single- family area from overcrowding due to perversions to large numbers of ir lti- family units. E Decision Criteria. The basic test of airy zoning is its consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan calls for URD -2 zoning in this 9I-161 area to implement the °high density residential' land use concept. The only reason that the parcel abutting this lot to the east was not rezoned to URD -2 in 1991 was because of the fact that it histoncalty had been a multi -family structure (the so-called! 'Lowder) with a large number of dwelling units and would have been made nonconforming had it been changed. Also, because of the large number of units, there could not be additional dwelling units added to the site. Based on the City's zoning policy for this area, Staff would recommend that the Planning Board deny the request to rezone this parcel to Multi -Family and Service District. Obviously, had the request been for URD -2 zoning, Staff would have recommended me zone change.
