RE: To rezone the property known as 415 Oliver Hill Way from the B-5 Central Business District (Conditional) to the B-5 Central Business District.
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To rezone the property known as 415 Oliver Hill Way from the B-5 Central Business District with proffered conditions to the B-5 Central Business District without proffered conditions.
BACKGROUND: On July 24, 2006 City Council approved Ord. 2006-193-199 rezoning the subject property from the M-1 Light Industrial District to the B-5 Central Business District (Conditional), upon four proffered conditions. Three of the proffered conditions addressed historic preservation renovation of an existing structure. These proffers have been implemented. The fourth proffered condition addressed parking, specifically stating that if the building were to become 100% residential then parking shall be provided at a ratio of one space per dwelling unit. Since this time the zoning ordinance has eliminated the parking requirement for the B-5 Central Business District. The property owner wishes to convert 1,400 square feet of commercial area in the building into residential area and cannot provide off-street parking because the building takes up the entire parcel. The proposed rezoning will allow the conversion of the commercial area to a residential as a permitted use.
The 6,238 square foot subject property is located on the eastern side of Oliver Hill Way between East Clay Street and East Marshall Street. It is improved with a two-story structure that encompasses the entire parcel. In 2010 the use of the structure was converted into fifteen one-bedroom apartments using historic tax credit financing. 1,440 square feet of the structure was left as commercial. This floor space has been vacant for a number of years
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The Shockoe Partnership was notified of the application; additional community notification will take place after introduction.
