Zoning Map Amendment
929 S Navajo Street Rezone
Petition Number: PLNPCM2023-00608
Project Location: 929 S Navajo Street
Zoning District: R-1/5,000, Single-Family Residential
Overlay District: Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay
Council District: D2 – Represented by Alejandro Puy
Mayor Mendenhall has initiated a petition to amend the zoning map for city owned properties located at 927 and 929 S Navajo Street. The proposal would rezone the properties from R-1/5000 – Single-Family Residential, to RMF-30 – Low Density Multi-Family Residential. The property at 929 S Navajo Street currently includes a stretch of the 9-Line Trail between Navajo Street and Emery Street. As part of this project, the lot lines would be adjusted to create a lot exclusively for the 9-Line Trail while creating a second lot containing approximately 41,000 SF of developable land.
The proposed amendment to the zoning map is intended to promote infill housing development goals identified in the Westside Master Plan. The policies related to established neighborhoods identify that there is “some opportunity for incremental additions to density and minor adjustments to the development pattern within the Glendale and Poplar Grove neighborhoods” (pg. 26). The recommendation in the plan is for future housing to be compatible in terms of building height, bulk, setbacks, architecture, landscaping, and building materials and recognizes that zoning changes will be required to accomplish this.
Project Location
Located at approximately 929 S Navajo Street.
