RE: To repeal Ord. No. 1984-19-28, adopted February 27, 1984 and to authorize the special use of 3003 Parkwood Avenue, for the purpose of permitting up to 32 multi-family dwelling units, upon certain terms and conditions.
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To repeal Ord. No. 1984-19-28, adopted February 27, 1984 and to authorize the special use of 3003 Parkwood Avenue, for the purpose of permitting up to 32 multi-family dwelling units, upon certain terms and conditions.
REASON: The applicant is proposing multi-family use of the property, which is not permitted by the underlying zoning of the property. A special use permit is therefore required.
RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with the requirements of the City Charter and the Zoning Ordinance, the City Planning Commission will review this request and make a recommendation to City Council. This item will be scheduled for consideration by the Commission at its December 5, 2016, meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 29,882 SF (0.686 acre) parcel of land improved with a building containing an assisted living facility and constructed, per tax assessment records, in 1940. The property is located in the Carytown neighborhood of the Near West planning district, in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Parkwood Avenue and South Sheppard Street.
The property is subject to a special use permit (Ord. No. 1984-19-28), authorizing the assisted living facility.
The City of Richmond’s Master Plan designates the subject property for Single Family (Low Density) land use. Primary uses in this category are “single-family detached dwellings at densities up to seven units per acre” (p. 133). The density of the parcel if developed as proposed would be approximately 47 units per acre.
The Master Plan lists general polices for new housing throughout the City, including: “Promote the development of new, high-quality housing” and “encourage the development of a range of housing types, styles and prices” (p. 100).
The subject property and properties to the north, west and south are located within the R-5 Single-Family Residential District. Properties to the east are located with the R-6 Single-Family Attached Residential District. A mix of single-, two-family, and some multi-family residential land uses predominate the vicinity of the subject property, with commercial and mixed-use land uses along the Cary Street corridor one block to the north.
FISCAL IMPACT / COST: The Department Planning and Development Review does not anticipate any impact to the City’s budget for this or future fiscal years.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Staff time for processing the request; preparation of draft ordinance; and publishing, mailing and posting of public notices.
BUDGET AMENDMENT NECESSARY: No.
