Council District ZC-21-069 E Continued Yes No X Case Manager Monica Lafitte Surplus Yes _ No X Council Initiated Yes No X Acreage: 0.45 Requested change is compatible. Requested change is consistent. Approval Background: The proposed site is located at the southwest corner of Foch Street and W. 6th Street. The applicant is requesting a zoning change to "MU-2" High Intensity Mixed Use for future development. On the application, the applicant wrote a detailed description of their request and reasoning: "The request is to rezone the northern portion of Lot 3R Block 10 from F to MU-2 to match the southern portion. This property was previously replatted to a single lot from several, and the zoning was never updated to be consistent over the entire lot. The development site includes Lot 3R and Lot 4R. Lot 4R is also zoned MU- 2. Surrounding zoning in the area is also already MU-2 and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development is for a multi -story mixed -use development with Retail, Office, and Multifamily." The property is located directly adjacent to the W. Seventh Urban Village, which was designed in order to encourage higher quality and higher density development. The southern half of the block was rezoned to MU-2 as part of the implementation of the urban village plan, as were the blocks to the east. The northern half of the block contains "E" Neighborhood Commercial, "C" Medium Density Multifamily, portions that have already been rezoned to "MU-2" and the subject lot requesting rezoning to "MU-2". The "MU-2" district would provide consistency and design standards for these blocks. Staff anticipates that the other lots are likely to rezone to Mixed Use, which would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing a zoning change to "MU-2" for a mixed -use development in accordance with the Mixed -Use standards. Surrounding land uses vary with parking lots, undeveloped land, automotive -related businesses, an existing bank to the south, and various retail uses. The applicant is wishing to rezone this portion of the lot to create consistency among a group a lots in order to build a mixed -use building with multifamily residential, office, and retail. As a result, the proposed zoning for the site is compatible at this location. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency -Arlington Heights The 2021 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Mixed -Use. The requested zoning change is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: • Accommodate higher density residential and mixed uses in transit -oriented developments, urban villages, and designated mixed -use growth centers. • Adopt a sustainable development policy that promotes the following: 1. Land use and transportation practices that promote economic development while using limited resources in an efficient manner; • Locate multifamily units within walking distance of public transportation, employment, recreation, and/or shopping to increase accessibility and decrease vehicular traffic. • Promote appropriate infill of old commercial centers (greyfields), and contaminated sites (brownfields) within developed areas, particularly in the central city. • Support zoning changes that accommodate multifamily residential development within urban villages, transit -oriented developments (TOD) and designated growth centers. • Promote a desirable combination of compatible residential, office, retail, commercial, and selected light industrial uses in the mixed -use and urban residential zoning districts of the Page 2 of 3 West Seventh Urban Village.
