Council Councilmember Hines, would you please put Council Bill 20 2-0582 on the floor for final passage. Yes. Does president I move that accountable? 22 058 to be placed on upon final consideration and do pass. It has been moved and seconded. There are required public hearing for Council Bill 20 2-058 to is open. May we have the staff report. Hello. My name is Edson, M.A., I am with CPD today. And then we have 4722 and three 4758. North Clay Street is five properties that are adjacent to each other. The current zoning is a single unit zone district that is applying for a single unit zoning district with an accessory dwelling unit. The five properties are located in Council District Quantum and in both district, and it is in the Sunnyside neighborhood. So the site itself is just south of Interstate 70 and to the east of Federal Boulevard. All of the properties are 6250 square feet. And like I'd mentioned, they're all looking to build in excess for drilling in the current zoning of the five properties is us, you see, which is a urban single unit with a minimum lot type of 5500 square feet. And as you can see, predominantly it is us, you see. But there is some us you see one which is allows for the excess are drawn in close proximity directly to the east. Predominately in this area, we see a lot of one storey single family homes, as you can see here on the pictures on the left. Both the top and the bottom are some of the subject properties that are one story. And then across the street and to the north that you see as well as some of the single storey structures here. So so far it's gone before our planning board back in May 2nd, and it was approved unanimously and it is before it tonight. And there has there has been no public comments on the specific application. And so there are five review criteria that we analyze when we're looking at a specific map amendment. The first one is can see what the adaptive plans are. We're looking at Comprehensive Plan 2040 Blueprint, Denver Land Use and Transportation Plan and 2019 and the Sunnyside Neighborhood Plan 1992. So there are several strategies outlined in the staff report and I'll just go over some some of the here for companies to plan under the equitable equitable and inclusive go to strategy and create a greater mix of housing options in every neighborhood for all individuals and families as well as a strong and authentic neighborhood. Go one strategy b ensure neighborhoods offer a mix of housing types and services for a diverse population, as well as the environmental resilient goal eight Strategy. A Promotion for development where infrastructure and services already in place. When we jump into a blueprint, the five subject properties are classified as urban. When we look at the future place type within Blueprint, it is classified as residential law, which is predominant single and uses in accessory dominance. Our appropriate place to be is a local street, which is primary primarily categorized by residential uses. And then the properties are classified as all other areas of the city within the growth strategy map. This is where we anticipate 10% of new employment and 20% of new house housing. As well as when we look at Blueprint, we do have a housing policy specifically in the land use and bill form section that talks about diversifying housing choice through the expansion of accessory dwelling units throughout all of residential areas. And then when we look at Sunnyside Neighborhood Plan, under the land use zoning section, there is a goal to maintain and stabilize the residential character of Sunnyside, as well as in the housing section. It does talk about stabilizing and upgrade the housing stock by encouraging long term residency and increase homeownership. For review criteria two, three and five. It is specified within the staff report and for the fourth criteria justified circumstance and it is consistent there with a city adapted plan as specified within. Therefore CPD recommends approval based on all the findings of the request. Your appointment to staff is available for questions as well as the applicant. Michael Martinez is also on call for any questions. Thank you. Thank you. We have no public speakers signed up to speak on this item this evening. Any questions from members of Council on Council Bill 20 20582c none. The public hearing is closed. Comments by members of Council and Council Bill 20 20582 Council Member Sandoval. Any comments? I vote. I just. Want to thank. The applicants for working. Together. Five neighbors came. Together to work on this rezoning application so that it wasn't just one off rezonings in the neighborhood. And this neighborhood is currently going in the neighborhood planning initiative, which we're talking about rezoning to allow accessory dwelling units. So I like the proactive nature and I believe it meets all the criteria and ask my colleagues to support it
