This ordinance approves a map amendment to rezone the properties located at 959 and 971 South Wolff Street from E-SU-G (single-unit) to E-TU-C (two-unit). The property at 971 South Wolff Street is a vacant lot after a fire in 2022, while 959 South Wolff Street contains a single-unit house built circa 1939. The new zoning allows for two-unit residential uses, including duplexes, tandem houses, and detached accessory dwelling units. This change aligns with the Urban Edge Neighborhood Context and will facilitate the redevelopment of this site into a two-unit residential form.
The rezoning promotes responsible growth in the Westwood neighborhood by increasing housing units in an area with existing infrastructure. It aligns with the city's long-term plans for more housing options and supports the neighborhood’s continued revitalization.
