Title
Development Review and Associated Variances for a Multifamily Development (B)
Petition DB-18-62. CHW, agent for Garrison SW 17th Avenue, LLC., owner. Development plan review for a multi-family development and variances from building form standards listed Section 30-4.13 of the Land Development Code. Variances are requested to the building frontage, setbacks, and streetscape standards for portions of the development. Located directly west of the intersection of Hull Road and SW 38th Terrace.
Explanation
This petition includes development plan review of a 156 unit multifamily development and a series of variance requests to various transect building form standards. The variance requests will facilitate urban development on a site that is severely constrained by multiple factors that significantly affect site design and limit strict adherence to the transect building form standards.
These factors include:

The buildings are 4-stories (48’ average) and meet or exceed the required minimum façade glazing and articulation standards for residential buildings within the transect zones. The project also includes approximately 419 parking spaces, 232 bicycle parking spaces, and 38 scooter spaces.
Landscaping consists of approximately 128 new street and canopy tr...
