Title
Granting a waiver of Toledo Municipal Code Section 1006.0100 Intensity and dimensional standards Table to allow a multi-dwelling project at 201 Knapp Street and 410-414 Wade Street, in the "RM36" Multi Dwelling Residential District, in the City of Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ord. 350-20 was passed on September 1, 2020 granting a density waiver for 40 apartments for LMHA's proposed redevelopment of the former Park Hotel. This project will cater to youth aging out of foster care. Per the Intensity and Dimensional Standards outlined in TMC?1106.0100, the maximum number of units permitted on the 0.5 acre site in RM36 Multi-Dwelling Residential is eighteen (18). RM36 Multi-Dwelling Residential is the Zoning District with the lowest square feet per unit allowed outside of Downtown. LMHA is now requesting a waiver for 45 apartment units. Considering that the proposal will repurpose a 112 year old former hotel, that the Middlegrounds Neighborhood is an urban neighborhood, and that the Park Hotel once housed 100 rooms, redevelopment for high-density typically seen in the Downtown at the site would be in character with the neighborhood.
Waiving of this zoning section will allow the project to proceed.

SECTION 1. That TMC Section 1106.0101, Residential District Intensity and Dimensional Standards Table, 1200 square feet minimum lot area per unit for multi-dwelling in the RM36 Multi Family Residential District be waived for a multi-dwelling project at 201 Knapp Street and 410-414 Wade Street to allow up to 45 units.
