This ordinance changes the official zoning for the land at 3419 West 5th Avenue from E-SU-DX (single-unit urban/suburban) to E-RH-2.5 (Urban Edge row-house). The 12,964 sq ft site sits on the north side of 5th Avenue immediately adjacent to North Barnum Park and a transit-served bus route. Under E-RH-2.5, the property may accommodate row houses, duplexes, tandem houses, urban or suburban house forms and detached accessory units up to 2.5 stories in height. The rezoning enables up to ten small multifamily units, each with street-oriented entries and potential rear-loaded garages to minimize visual vehicle impact. The applicant signed an Affordable Housing Plan guaranteeing at least one unit at 70 percent AMI on-site. The change supports neighborhood-compatible massing, expanded housing choices near park and transit, and public realm improvements including sidewalks and lighting.
