Ordinance 2024-25: Ogden Bend mixed-use zone and sign standards
Approved · 5-0
The ordinance revises mixed-use project standards (building types, maximum building lengths facing streets) and sign standards to match the updated Ogden Bend Master Plan. The Planning Commission recommended a 5-story limit, 10-foot first floors, 10-foot setbacks on Wall Avenue and 18th Street, and that at least one building type making up 25% of buildings or units be sellable individually. One owner of parcels across 18th Street said the plan area could host senior and affordable housing; Brierley said that owner could petition to expand the area. Council Member Richard Hyer asked whether the changes make mixed-use zoning more workable; Brierley said commercial demand is soft but residential demand is strong. During public comment, one 18th Street owner said he was unsure how the changes affect him and described code enforcement as heavy-handed, and another resident said the land has sat vacant since 2014.

Ogden Bend mixed-use zoning text amendment and master plan update (work session)
Discussed
Planning Manager Barton Brierley said the proposal would change building types allowed, maximum building lengths fronting streets and sign standards in the mixed-use zone to match the updated Ogden Bend Master Plan. The Planning Commission recommended that in mixed-residential areas at least one building type making up 25% of buildings or dwelling units be platted or condominiumized for individual ownership. Responding to requests from property owner Lotus Development, the commission raised the maximum height from four to five stories, cut first-floor height from 14 to 10 feet, kept 10-foot setbacks on Wall Avenue and 18th Street, said surface parking is already allowed and said buildings on Wall Avenue, Washington Boulevard and 20th Street can appear separated. Lotus had asked for six stories at 18th Street and Wall Avenue. The commission recommended the Redevelopment Agency adopt the master plan amendment and the council the code change; action is set for August 20.
