II. SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Site
Characteristics:
The overall site area includes approximately 6.42 acres of land and
comprises the Spencer Homes public housing apartments, a vacant
parking lot northeast of 30th and Spencer Streets, as well as two vacant
residential parcels north of the Spencer Homes site. The Spencer Homes
complex was built in the late 1940s and houses more than 300 people in
its 111 apartments, spread throughout 23 buildings.
Development
Proposal:
The applicant proposes to tear down the Spencer Homes public housing
apartments and erect mixed-income housing in their place. The
development plan includes a variety of single-family, duplex, townhouse,
and multiple-family structures on Lots 2-5, as well as a four-story mixed-
use building featuring 51 residential units, 1,754 square feet of retail
space, and a community center on Lot 1. The proposed zoning for Lot 1 is
CC-Community Commercial with the ACI-Area of Civic Importance
Overlay District and Lots 2-5 are proposed with R7-Medium-Density
Multiple-Family Residential zoning. The balance of the site will comprise
additional right-of-way dedication as well as a remnant portion of property
located within an outlot to be zoned R5.
In addition to this plat and rezoning request, the applicant has also
requested approval of two PUR-Planned Unit Redevelopment Overlay
District plans (one for the residential portion of the development and one
for the mixed-use building) as well as a Conditional Use Permit to allow
Multiple-family residential in the CC district to facilitate the overall project
(Case #C11-22-141, C11-22-129, C7-22-149).
It should be noted that a Preliminary Plat for this development previously
received a recommendation for approval by the planning board at the May
4, 2022 meeting, which has yet to be forwarded to the City Council for
final action. The applicant has since submitted a new Preliminary Plat
request to account for additional 29th Street right-of-way being dedicated
at the north portion of the site as well as a request for Final Plat approval
for the entire development. Given the similarities of the submitted
Preliminary Plat to the previous submittal, which has already been
reviewed and recommended for approval, it is acceptable to allow this
Preliminary Plat and Final Plat to run concurrently. This request will
replace the previously submitted Preliminary Plat.

forwarding the subdivision agreement to City Council; upload the drainage
