H. This. Agreement addresses the property owner's concerns and furthers the stated purposes of the S-C Chambers Special Area Zone (EC 9.3050). Adding a compatible house in the existing 50 foot wide gap will specifically serve the following purposes stated in EC 9.3050: (1 ) Protect and maintain healthy existing neighborhoods by ensuring compatible design for infill development in terms of the structure's mass, scale, orientation and setback to complement patterns in the existing neighborhood. (2) Promote a general increase in density with a mix of multi-family and single family residential development that contributes positively to the neighborhood pattern of single-family detached dwellings. (5) Establish, strengthen, and maintain a high quality urban environment with compatible commercial, residential and industrial use. e 6) Create a pedestrian friendly environment. I. By filling the existing gap on West I Oth A venue with residential development that advances the desired characteristics in Paragraph H, the streetscape will be more compatible with the neighborhood, and problems with illegal use of the vacant area (e.g., for camping and fires) will be eliminated. The additional "eyes on the street" and comings-and-goings by occupants of a street-oriented, single-family home will contribute to the safety of the surrounding area and to the pedestrian appeal of the section of the sidewalk that currently passes the vacant area.
