This decision approves the rezoning of 1401 North Fairfax Street from U-TU-C to U-RH-3A to align with the property's existing use as a multi-unit residential building and promote legal conformity. The new zoning will allow urban house, duplex, rowhouse, and apartment building forms, addressing the lot's unique placement on a corner with arterial access. The rezoning is consistent with the Hale Neighborhood's low-medium density residential character and promotes infill development along a residential arterial.
Why it Matters
This decision protects existing housing stock, promotes residential density in urban contexts, and ensures legal compliance for existing structures, supporting sustainable development and infrastructure use.
