III.   MODIFICATIONS TO SECTION 136 STATION COMMUNITY PLANNING AREA PROVISIONS

A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 136.IV., Table 2, Permitted Uses in Station Community Residential Districts, certain properties in the SCR-DNC zone may be eligible for more intensive development, due to their location adjacent to North First Avenue , a classified Arterial Street . Such increased intensity of development may include mixed use buildings, increased residential density and structural heights. To transition more intensive development along North First Avenue from adjacent less intensive development in the SCR-DNC zone, increased intensity development shall be limited to those properties within the SCR-DNC zone located within 200 feet of the right-of-way of North First Avenue, north of NE Lincoln Street, south of NE Rachel Street . Approval of mixed use buildings, increased residential density and structural heights in this area (hereinafter referred to as the "Arterial Exception Area) shall comply with the following standards:

1. Maximum structural height shall be three (3) stories in the Arterial Exception Area. To buffer this increased structural height from non-Exception properties to the east, three-story structural height shall be limited to a depth of 100 feet from North First Avenue . Structural height for buildings between 100 feet and 200 feet in depth from North First Avenue shall be a maximum of two stories. Standard sideyard setbacks for two-story Arterial Exception uses shall apply to two-story buildings at the 200 foot depth boundary with non-Exception properties, except as specified under Subsection 2.

2. Mixed use buildings shall be a minimum of two stories in height, with residential uses on the second floor. Commercial uses in mixed use buildings in the Arterial Exception area shall be limited to the first and second story only. If commercial uses are proposed on the first and/or second floor of a mixed use building in the Arterial Exception Area, an increased sideyard setback of 10 feet for three-story Arterial Exception uses shall apply at the 200 foot depth boundary with non-Exception properties. The 10-foot sideyard setback shall be planted with species selected for increased height and visual screening qualities. Landscaping materials shall be planted at a density designed to achieve the earliest practicable screening of the commercial first floor use.

3. Within the Arterial Exception Area, in order to encourage pedestrian scale development at street level, ground floor areas of commercial uses shall be limited as follows:

a. Except as allowed under subsection b. below, the maximum ground floor area for a single commercial use shall be 2500 square feet.

b. A single commercial use may occupy up to 4000 square feet on the ground floor of a single building only if that occupancy is limited to less than 50% of the total ground floor area of the building, and the remaining ground floor area is divided among separate uses occupying less than 2500 square feet each. For purposes of this subsection, unenclosed pedestrian areas outside the walls of the building are not included in the maximum square footage.

There are no restrictions on maximum square footage for commercial uses on the second floor. Commercial uses are not permitted above the second floor.

4. If mixed uses are proposed in three story buildings in the Arterial Exception Area, residential density in the second and third stories shall be limited to 18 dwelling units per acre.

5.Commercial uses permitted outright in mixed use buildings in the Arterial Exception area are as follows:

    a)   Art Gallery

    b)   Bakery

    c)   Barber Shop

    d)   Beauty shop, including day spa

    e)   Confectionary

    f)    Delicatessen

    g)   Drug store, including fountain

    h)   Florist shop

    i)    Garden store

    j)    Grocery store

    k)   Hardware store

    l)    Laundry and cleaning, self-service

    m)  Office or clinic for the following:

      1)   Accountant

      2)   Architect or designer

      3)   Attorney at law

      4)   Dentist

      5)   Doctor or other practitioner of the healing arts

      6)   Engineer or surveyor

      7)   Insurance agent

      8)   Real estate agent

      9)   Travel agent

    o)   Variety or dry good store

    p)   Restaurant, excluding drive-in facilities

The Planning Commission may interpret additional uses which would be appropriate within the Arterial Exception area pursuant to Zoning Ordinance No. 1945, Section 89 Authorization of Similar Uses.

6. Commercial uses in mixed use buildings in the Arterial Exception Area, except for those permitted outright in Subsection 5 above, are allowed only upon approval by the Planning and Zoning Hearings Board, pursuant to the conditional use standards and procedures contained in Sections 78 through 83 of this ordinance.

7. All applications for Development Review shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Development Review applications for increased intensity development in the Arterial Exception Area shall include a Traffic Impact Report as required by Section 137.XVI. Subsections 2 through 8, inclusive. To mitigate the impacts of such increased intensity development on adjacent non-Exception properties and public streets and alleys, approval of increased intensity development in the Arterial Exception Area may be subject to any of the conditions specified in Section 137(XVI) C.
