and zoned as nodal areas for purposes of the 2015 performance measure. The transition requirement applies only to the R-3 Limited High Density Residential and R-4 High Density Residential zoned land just south of the University, within the area bound by Hilyard Street to the west, Agate Street to the east, E. 18th Avenue to the north and E. 20th Avenue to the south. Further, the building heights in the R-3 and R-4 zones would be restricted to 35 feet only for that portion of a building located within 160 feet from the abutting boundary of, or directly across an alley from, land zoned R-1, and building heights in the R-4 zone would be restricted to 50 feet only for that portion of a building located within 175 feet of land zoned R-3, and to 75 feet for a portion of a building greater than 175 feet and up to 225 feet from land zoned R-3. DLCD has not identified a basis for concluding that the proposed height transitions will unlawfully interfere with the region’s ability to meet its 23.3% performance standard and the City finds no such basis. Further, the City finds that the modest parking requirements are necessary to address excessive demand for on-street parking resulting from the increase in multi- family developments in the area and finds that the requirements do not conflict with any nodal policy, standard or criterion.
