Morgan, Kile for approval of plans to construct a triplex structure on property known as 224 North Central Avenue in an R-M (Multiple Family/Low Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Commissioner Pack reported that the Site and Architectural Review Committee met with the applicant and recommends approval with an added condition #6 to read: The revised parking design to be approved by the Planning Director and condition #7 to read: Building materials approved as shown in red on the elevations. Commissioner Pack stated that condition #6 would allow the applicant to provide additional parking. The parking section of the Zoning Code requires that a number of 1 1/2 spaces per unit be provided. The changes to the site plan would provide a parking ratio of 2 spaces per unit. The Site and Architectural Review Committee was of the opinion that because the proposed units were three bedroom apartments and because of the existing on-street parking problem along Central Avenue, the requirement of addi- tional parking would be appropriate for this development. Commissioner Hebard expressed concern over what is going to happen to Central Avenue in the future and how that street is heavily impacted with traffic now. He questioned wi~ether or not Central Avenue would remain as a 50 foot right of way or would become something other than that. - 1 - Mr. Helms reported that the recoomedaatitnmay beanecessary Aoeremovemthe street 50 foot right of way, however, Y parking.
