The petitioner, Northway Homes LLC, is requesting to rezone a 3.51-acre undeveloped site from R-8MF(CD) to N2-A(CD) and N1-A. The proposal would allow for the development of up to 16 multi-family attached dwelling units and two single-family residential lots. This project represents a reduction in density from the current zoning, which allows for up to 28 multi-family units. The site is located near the Coulwood Shopping Center and is served by public transit. While a portion of the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the city's 2040 Policy Map, planning staff supports the petition. Staff's rationale is that the project reduces overall permitted density and helps facilitate '10-Minute Neighborhood' goals by providing housing diversity near existing services and transit. The staff recommendation is for approval, contingent upon resolving outstanding transportation-related issues.
