The City Council approved a council variance and a concurrent rezoning (from R-2F to R-4) for a 0.11-acre undeveloped parcel at 798 Seymour Ave. The project proposes to construct a 3-story stacked residential triplex with three units. The approved variances include reducing required parking from six to three spaces, decreasing the required lot width from 50 feet to 36.5 feet, and allowing a front covered porch to encroach into the 30x30 clear vision triangle. Additionally, the variance reduces the required lot size for a three-family dwelling to 4,928 square feet due to existing conditions. This development aligns with the Near Southside Area Plan's recommendation for Medium Density Mixed Residential land uses. Both the Livingston Avenue Area Commission and City Departments recommended approval, citing consistency with local planning policies and design guidelines.
