Councilmember Ortega, will you please put Council Bill 20 2-0637 on the floor for final passage. From then on I move that council bill 20 20637 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. It has been moved and seconded the required public hearings for Council Bill 20 20637 is open. May we have the staff report? I think he council president. Can you introduce yourself? Yes. I'm Libby Adams with Community Planning and Development. And I'll be presenting the MAP Amendment at 4710 North Stuart Street. This application is located in Council District one in the Berkeley neighborhood, and the applicant is. Requesting to rezone. From you, as you see to you as you see one to allow for an accessory dwelling unit. As stated previously, the current zoning is urban single unit C, which allows the Urban House building form on a minimum size of 5500 square feet. The existing land use is a single unit home and this slide shows the existing building performance scale with the subject property on the upper right hand side. A postcard notifying neighboring property owners was sent out on March 24th, and then the planning board unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning on May 18th. And to date, staff has not received any comments from members of the public. The Denver zoning code has five review criteria that must be met in order for rezoning to be approved. The first is consistency with adopted plans, and there are two plans that are applicable to this rezoning. You can find more information on how this rezoning meets the strategies of a comprehensive plan in the staff report. I'll just focus on Blueprint Denver. So the. Future neighborhood context and Blueprint Denver's urban. And then the future place type is identified as low residential. And these are areas where ads are appropriate. And then the future street type for North Stuart Street is local and these are mostly characterized by residential uses, also consistent with the request. The Growth Area Strategy and blueprint. Denver is all other areas of the city. This is where we anticipate to see 10% of new jobs and 20% of new housing by 2040. And then. Blueprint also has specific. Policy guidance. So the land use and built form housing policy four talks about diversifying housing choice by allowing aid use throughout all of our residential areas. Staff also finds the rezoning meets the next two criteria. It will result in uniformity of district regulations, and it will further the public health, safety and welfare by implementing our adopted plans and providing a new type of housing unit in a largely single unit area. And there's also a justifying circumstance in the adopted language and Blueprint Denver about its use in all of our residential areas. And then lastly. This proposed rezoning is consistent with the urban neighborhood context. The residential districts purpose and then the specific intent of the US. You see one zoned district. So finding all five criteria have been met. Staff recommends approval of this rezoning. Thank you, Libby. We do not have any speakers signed up to speak on this item this evening.
