This ordinance approves the rezoning of a 1.55-acre parcel at 5432 N Hamilton Rd from Commercial Planned Development (CPD) to AR-2 Apartment Residential District and grants variances to accommodate a 60-unit affordable apartment building. Approved variances include increasing the maximum building height from 36 to 50 feet, reducing the required parking from 90 to 72 spaces (1.2 spaces per unit), eliminating interior parking lot trees and islands, allowing parking within maneuvering setbacks, waiving fronting requirements on a public street, and reducing side and rear yard standards from 25% of lot area to 10%. The project will deliver a four-story, 16,408 square-foot residential building with 60 units, providing 69 parking spaces plus ADA and EV spaces. The site layout maintains a 25-foot building setback along Hamilton Road, 5-foot side yards, and a 60-foot rear yard setback, with landscape buffers relocated to the perimeter. The approval aligns with the Northland Plan’s recommendation for a residential transition east of Hamilton Road and addresses a critical need for affordable housing in the area.
