DBA 2010-03 and SPR 2010-02 <br />December 13, 2010 <br />Page 6 <br />The property immediately adjacent to the north is developed at a density of 36.7 DU per acre, <br />followed by developments at 15.3 DU/ac and 10.2 DU lac. The development to the south is at <br />37.2 DU per acre. Across Birch Street, the densities vary from 7 to 13 DU per acre. <br />The applicant is requesting an increase from 11.3 DU per acre, which is allowed under the current <br />zoning, to 15.5 DU per acre. This density represents a mid-range density that is consistent with, <br />and in many cases much less intense, than the existing densities. More importantly, the scale and <br />massing of the project will be consistent with the early 1800's building forms currently found on the <br />block and throughout the neighborhood. <br />As such, staff finds that the proposed density increase from the provision of the zoning will not <br />cause an adverse impact to the neighborhood. Under State Law, in order to be eligible for this <br />density increase, the applicant must provide a minimum of 10 percent of the units to lower income <br />households. In this case, the applicant will be providing all units, or 100 percent of the proposed <br />development, to a low income household, which is in excess of the minimum requirement. <br />39B-8
