STAFF REPORT
The 13 subject properties total approximately 5 acres and are currently developed as multi-family apartments, a Mormon student center, and fraternities. (The sole parcel with Office land use and zoning has been dropped from the originally contemplated petition pertaining to 14 parcels.) One of the 13 parcels is a real estate office. The 13 parcels are located by an area bounded by Southwest 13th Street, Southwest 5th Avenue, Southwest 12th Street, and Southwest 3rd Avenue.

The proposed Urban Mixed-Use 2 (UMU-2) zoning is compatible with the RH-2 (8-100 unit/acre residential high density district) and Urban Mixed-Use 2 zoning adjacent to the north and east, and the ED (education) zoning adjacent to the south and west. This petition is related to Petition 91LUC-06PB, which proposes UMU-2 (Urban Mixed-Use: up to 100 units per acre) land use.

The Plan Board heard the petition and voted to recommend approval.
