ORDINANCE
title
Adopting A Text Amendment To The Integrated Development Ordinance For The North 4th Corridor Character Protection Overlay Zone (CPO-9) Small Mapped Area Related To The Applicability Setback And Stepback Requirements (Benton by request)
body
ADOPTING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE FOR THE NORTH 4TH CORRIDOR CHARACTER PROTECTION OVERLAY ZONE (CPO-9) SMALL MAPPED AREA RELATED TO THE APPLICABILITY SETBACK AND STEPBACK REQUIREMENTS.

WHEREAS, the intention of CPO-9 is to facilitate and encourage development along 4th Street that has an urban, walkable character; and
WHEREAS, CPO-9 has a building stepback requirement and a building setback requirement that seek to create an adequate pedestrian realm directly along 4th Street; and
WHEREAS, the stepback and setback requirements are only applicable to the "front" of a development, as currently written; and
WHEREAS, the language as written could offer an unintended consequence of not applying the appropriate stepback or setback if a building is being constructed on a corner lot or a full block where the "front" of the structure could be turned to a side-street that is not 4th Street; and
WHEREAS, the proposed text amendment will ensure that the stepback and setback are always appropriately provided along 4th Street; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Planning Commission considered this request on December 8th, 2022 and forwarded to the City Council a recommendation of approval subject to the findings in the record.
