The petition proposes rezoning 2.839 acres to CAC-1(EX) to allow the development of a mixed-use project including up to 295 residential units and 5,000 square feet of retail/commercial uses. Public benefits include a 16-foot shared-use path, relocation of a sewer line for future transit infrastructure, and a public plaza along the Silver Line. The project includes architectural design standards to ensure compatibility with adjacent single-family homes, a maximum building height of 85 feet, and enhancements to pedestrian and bike infrastructure along Central Avenue.
This decision supports transit-oriented development and densification near the future Silver Line, aligning with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan goals for 10-Minute Neighborhoods, Safe & Equitable Mobility, and Trail & Transit-Oriented Development. It ensures a balance between community growth and preserving neighborhood character.
