1. Per Article 16.6, design review is required for any request for subdivision approval within the IH Overlay District. Level 1 COAs may be issued by staff when the "design conforms to the adopted design guidelines" (Article 16.6.E.2). As the proposed subdivision plat does not clearly meet the guidelines, it cannot be approved administratively.

2. The proposed subdivision plat does not recreate the typical lot size of a 50' wide lot, and combines two lots that both have street frontage. The lot fronting Woodland Ave contains multiple secondary structures; the lot fronting W. Glenwood Ave contains a primary structure.

3. While combining a lot that could provide infill housing with an existing lot is not typically supported by the guidelines, it is reversible; if subsequent property owners wanted to re-subdivide the lot to provide infill housing on the lot fronting Woodland Ave, the lot would meet the minimum lot area for the base zoning district.

New subdivision plat combining one approximately 107' wide by 150' deep lot fronting W. Glenwood Ave, with a lot measuring 83' wide by 88' deep fronting Woodland Ave. The lots are contiguous on the Woodland Avenue's rear lot line and the northwest corner of the lot fronting W. Glenwood Avenue. A lot at the corner of Woodland and W. Glenwood is excluded.
