Title
A Resolution concerning The 2004 Approved Gateway Arts District Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment (SMA) for the purpose of revising certain development district standards in the 2004 Approved Gateway Arts District Sector Plan and SMA.
Background
The 2004 Approved Gateway Arts District Sector Plan and Sectional Map Amendment (SMA) established development district standards in seven character areas including the Traditional Residential Neighborhood (TRN) Character Area that supersedes the development standards of the underlying residential zone. The standards provided a more liberal development opportunity for residential development. The result was that a number of houses were so greatly expanded that the City of Mount Rainier has determined that some but not all of the development standards pertinent to TRN Character Areas undermine protection of the historic residential character of the City’s traditional residential neighborhoods. For this reason, the City made a written request that the TRN Character Area within the Mount Rainier municipal boundaries be exempt from the standards adopted in the 2004 Approved Gateway Arts District Sector Plan and SMA in accordance with the provisions of CB-5-2007.
