CROSS STREET WAREHOUSE (SDSP) (03 -241)
Zoning District: NG -1 Historic Northgate
Location: The property is located in the 400 Block of College Main, Lots 1, 2, 3, and in
the 400 Block of Tauber, Lots 14, 15, 16 of the Boyett Addition.
Applicant: Randy Klein, President, Radakor, L.L.C.
Item Summary: The property is currently developed as duplex and multi - family units.
The applicant's proposal consolidates the properties for redevelopment and is in line with
the stated redevelopment goals in the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed apartment development will have 43 multi - family dwelling units: 21 - 2
bedroom units, 7 - 3 bedroom units, and 15 - 4 bedroom units, for a total of 123
bedrooms. There is also proposed retail space on the ground floor of this development.
The proposed site plan shows 36 on -site parking spaces and 4 off -site spaces located
on the adjacent property.
The property is located on the corner opposite the Northgate parking garage. The
garage has a total of 725 parking spaces. Cross Street Warehouse will have an option
of leasing up to 70 parking spaces per year in the Northgate garage. Parking spaces
are also available for lease by any individual on a monthly basis.
This development is required to have one interior - parking island, provided somewhere
within the interior - parking row. The applicant is requesting a variance to this
requirement in order to use this area for an extra parking space. Interior islands are
generally required to break up a sea of parking. In this case, the parking lot is
completely enclosed and screened from the right -of -way and adjacent properties by
gates and a wall.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval with "Staff Comments #1."
Item Background: This property was rezoned from NG -3 Residential Northgate to NG -1
Historic Northgate to allow for a mix of uses in this development. This project went
before the Project Review Committee for a parking determination in August of 2002. A
parking ratio of 0.91 parking spaces per dwelling unit, 0.32 parking spaces per bedroom
was approved. The number of spaces provided on -site and on the adjacent lot meets
this parking requirement.
