In April 2004, the council amended the MUPTE program regulations and <br />boundary. <br /> <br />th <br />The proposed project will be built at 693 E. 16 Avenue, which is zoned R-3, high-density residential. <br />Currently, the property is occupied by a two-story single family home that was built in 1905 and a one- <br />story duplex that was constructed in 1947. Neither is considered a historical resource and both are in <br />deteriorated condition. The applicant followed the required procedures and properly informed the City <br />of his intent to remove the existing structures. <br /> <br />Citizen Comments <br />The applicant indicated in his application that the West University Neighbors were notified and invited <br />to comment. The neighborhood leadership recently indicated that they were never contacted by the <br />applicant. Staff recently provided the application to neighborhood representatives. If the neighborhood <br />provides any comments prior to action, these comments will be provided to the City Council. <br />Comments about this MUPTE application were also posted in a Register-Guard advertisement. No <br />comments were received. <br /> <br />Design Features <br />Consistent with the council’s stated interests, as part of the adopted MUPTE Standards and Guidelines, <br />this application proposes infill housing that increases density in the core area and provides new housing <br />using higher grade materials. Minimum density is exceeded by 400%. The proposed housing involves a <br />three-story building. There will be a total of 10 housing units - each with two bedrooms. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M070625\S0706252C.DOC <br />
