• The property is zoned RN-2 within the TDR land use area. The lot width is 50', with an alley. The proposed duplex (side-by-side) is a permitted MH type.

• The building is 40' wide by 41' deep, which meets the maximum width and depth for a duplex.

• The building is two stories tall, which is within the maximum height requirement of two stories.

• The proposed front setback is 25.08', which meets the front seback requirement of the average of the blockface, plus or minus five feet. The average front setback of the block is 21.

• The proposed building meets the 15' minimum rear setback requirement. The proposed 5' and 5' side setbacks meet the 5' minimum interior side setback requirements.

• The building is oriented with the front elevations facing Parkview Avenue, with ground level entrances oriented towards the street.

• To satisfy Article 4.6.E.4.c, the front elevation includes a 6' deep entry stoop and brick masonry composing at least 25% of the front elevation. The exterior elevations also include a transom and sidelights around the front door, along with a beltcourse/horizontal trim element between the first and second stories, with siding variations on the second story.

• No parking spaces are required as the property is within a quarter mile of a transit route. The site plan includes four spaces in the rear yard.

• The roofline is steep, with a roof pitch of 8/12.

• Administrative variation: Planning staff approve the variation on design standards in Section 4.6.E, to incorporate the design elements of a transom and sidelights on the front doors, along with the beltcourse/horizontal trim element combined with siding variations on the second story, as satisfying the three design elements required as Article 4.6.E.4.c. The project meets all applicable dimensional standards and the design is similar in scale with the buildings on the subject block face and the block face across the street.
