The property was rezoned to R-5 (Core Residential),and the City and applicant entered into a Development Agreement tied to the specific building design. The reason for the Development Agreement was that the Planning Commission and City Council did not feel that the multiple family development standards that existed at the time were well-suited for properties in the core residential area,and were geared for more suburban style developments. In 2006,the City Council approved an amendment to the Development Agreement(attached)based on a change in the design of the proposed building. The building has never been built. In 2008,the City Council adopted the Core Area Residential Standards that apply specifically to the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown. These standards are designed for the north Everett block and lot patterns. The Core Area standards are codified in Chapter 33G of the Zoning Code. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 5,2016,and has recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with RAL to terminate the development agreement. RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance terminating the Amended Development Agreement with Rockefeller Avenue LLC for property on the east side of Rockefeller Avenue between 2e Street and Everett Avenue,amending Section 1-5 of Ordinance No.2847-05. 1
