Rezone of 1960 North State Street from C2 to PD-53
Approved with conditions · 5-0
Senior Planner Matt Taylor presented a request to rezone about 6.8 acres, including the Kneaders site and a vacant grocery building, to a new PD-53 zone for retail on the ground floor with offices above. Kneaders, Sweeto Burrito and a small office building would remain. The PD-53 zone is similar to C2 but with changes to landscaping, parking and setbacks; the new buildings would be taller but 100 feet from homes instead of 12. Staff and the planning commission recommended approval, though the commission raised height and view concerns. Applicant Dave Vincent and architect Justin Hepler said parking is shared across the site and a parking study supports the plan. Residents at the hearing worried about parking spilling into the neighborhood; one resident said the project was 49 stalls short, while another put the shortfall at 7-8 stalls. The council added a condition that north-facing doors on building 3 be egress only.
