The municipal agenda for the Planning Commission meeting on 2024-11-14 is 👉here👈
1947 & 1961 Alpine Avenue NW
This is a returning agenda item; previously discussed at the 2024-08-22 Planning Commission meeting.
The site has now been rezoned, as requested, from SD-IT (Industrial Transportation) to TCC (Transitional City Center); as TCC permits retail uses. The applicant is now applying for Special Land Use (SLU) to both operate a recreational marijuana facility (which requires SLU in TCC) and to construct an eighty eight (88) space surface parking lot. This amount of parking exceeds the maximum amount of parking permitted for the 3,785sq/ft building; this is twenty three (23) parking spaced per 1,000/sq/ft. As each parking space is 153sq/ft (18ft x 8.5ft), not including lanes, this is 13,464sq/ft of parking spaces; three and a half (3.5x) times the size of the building in parking spaces. The site is within the walk-shed of the Rapid #9, which is a frequent service route.
The site is not within 1,000ft of any "sensitive uses" as required by the zoning ordinance for marijuana uses. The nearest residential use is 1,415ft from the site, the nearest religious use is 2,700ft.
