12 Eyes Council Bill 20 Dash. 1177 has passed. Councilman Hines, would you please put Council Bill 1184 on the floor for final passage? Madam President, I moved the council bill 1220 excuse me 20 dash 1184 he placed on final consideration. Andrew Peps again. Thank you. It's been moved and thank you for the second councilman herndon. The required public hearing for council bill 20 dash 1184 is open. May we please have the staff report? L Yes. My name is Alice Stevie, and I'm here to present the proposed rezoning at two five, six, seven Albion Street. So, first, just want to confirm. Can you hear me? Right. And I apologize. You can probably also hear the crying baby that will hopefully stop shortly. And now can you see my screen? We just need you to go ahead and make it full screen. There you go. I'll say good to go. Great. All right. Well, let's get going. This will be largely familiar because it's very similar to the previous case. But we are in Council District eight in the North Park Hill neighborhood. So the subject property is just under 6000 square feet and the proposed rezoning is from U.S. to U.S., U.S. one to allow an accessory dwelling unit . So the subject property and all the properties surrounding it are currently U.S. see. Similarly, this site and surrounding properties are the single unit residential land use, with a few public and quasi public and higher density residential surrounding in the surrounding area. So the photos on the right, the one in the middle is the subject property and then the nearby a couple of nearby properties are shown in the top and bottom. So this Map amendment application was on the consent agenda for both planning board and so they were moved forward for both of those unanimously and staff have not received any comments on this application. So now looking at the review criteria, we have four plans to consider for this particular site. Staff found this rezoning to be consistent with several strategies and comprehensive plan. In particular, the proposed rezoning would allow for an additional housing option near transit and a mix of uses within an established neighborhood, which is consistent with the strategies in the equitable, affordable and inclusive vision element shown here. And it would allow for compatible infill development consistent with the strategy from the Environmental Resilience Vision element shown here. So then moving to Blueprint Denver, that plan marks this area as within the urban context and within the residential low future place. And the description for that does specify that accessory dwelling units are appropriate. Under the blueprint growth strategy areas, including the subject property, expected to see 10% of job growth and 20% of housing growth by 2040. The additional accessory dwelling unit permitted by the proposed rezoning is consistent with that. And then the proposed rezoning is also consistent with these two strategies from Blueprint that both recommend expanding the allowance of 80 use. So then we have the Park Hill neighborhood plan. And in that plan from 2000, this area is mapped as part of what the plan refers to as R zero. And that defines that as a stable residential area. The goals and strategies in that plan recommend reinforcing the residential character while creating a mix of housing types. Then housing an inclusive Denver, which was adopted in 2018. It contains recommendations that are directly relevant to this rezoning. The plant recommends expanding the development of accessory dwelling units, so the proposed MAP amendment to U.S. one is consistent with these recommendations. So staff found that the rezoning is consistent with adopted plans. The proposed rezoning will result in a uniform application of zoned district building form, use and design regulations, and it will further public health, safety and welfare through implementing adopted plans and facilitating increased housing density. Staff found that the proposed rezoning is justified through change and changing conditions. The adoption of Blueprint, the Blueprint Update and Housing Inclusive Denver included policies that specifically support this rezoning request. Finally, the context zone, district purpose and the intent of, as you see, one, are all appropriate for this particular location given the surrounding area and the adopted plan guidance. So given the finding that all review criteria have been met, staff recommend approval of the proposed rezoning. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Ella, for the staff report.
