716 & 718 S Saunders St (Z-54-23)
This request would increase the number of residential units that could be built on the site and increase the maximum allowable height from 3 stories to 7 stories. Compared to existing zoning (NX), it would allow a similar variety of residential building types, including apartments and townhomes, but permit a narrower range of commercial uses. Typically, residential mixed use (RX) zoning districts allow for limited retail and office uses in addition to residential. The request would prohibit the following uses which are normally permitted, limited, or special uses in the RX district: dormitory, fraternity, sorority; boarding house; cemetery; and outdoor sports facility (>250 seats).
