Memorandum
..............
- ---- - ------- -------------
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
SUBJECT.- Case No. ZOA- 99-04/Res icy ential Density in Commercial zones
DATE: August 13, 1999
13,119 square feet (proposed new lot area) divided by 3630 square feet (density standard
for R-3 zoning) = 3.6 dwelling its (rounded down to 3)
MVE
34,690 square feet (total lot area with no rezoning or subdivision) divided by 5000 square
feet (density standard for accessory residential units in commercial) = 6.9 dwelling units
(rounded down to 6) in addition to any commercial use
Nancy is contending that the allowed density for accessory residential units in commercial should
be computed removing the area devoted to the commercial use. In other words, the residential
density should be figured using the land "left over." She cites the language included in the
planned development regulations for residential uses in Planned Commercial Developments.
Pursuant to Section 26-25(2)0)(3)(attached), "If the commercial and residential uses are mixed in
W
a
buil ding the same other reasons cannot be clearly sep arated
lan attributable to the commercial use shall be considered to b t h e b s
landsca occupied by commercial uses, the required parking,, and proportionate share of the common
areas, sueb�iniiess-egress,
Should developers be encouraged to build ancillary Awell4units acthe silc� bf reducing the
amount of commercial square footage allowed? Are we encouraging good design? Should
developers be allowed fesidential unit&basod M bi amenities? Are we
giving # opportunities for # use rede
