MAJOR USE SPECIAL PERMIT
1. Section 1304.1.1 Application forms; supplementary materials
(a) Statements of ownership and control of the proposed
development of activity.
The Disclosure of Ownership and Ownership Affidavit are
provided in Article I.
(b) Statement describing in detail the character and intended use
of the development or activity.
The property is located on a 10.78 (net) acre site occupying the
majority of the block bounded by NW 69th Street to the north, NW
10t Avenue to the west and NW 67th Street to the south. The
property is currently zoned R-4. The intent of the project is to be a
cornerstone for the redevelopment of the surrounding Model City
neighborhood by providing new affordable housing in a well -
articulated design.
The Village (the "Project") will comprise six mid -rise Residential
Buildings (7, 8, 10 and 12 levels) with a total of 574 units, a total of
850 spaces (458 spaces on -grade and 392 parking), a clubhouse
for the residents, expansive landscaping providing multiple
recreational areas for the residents.
The Project is centrally located to multiple public bus routes,
Northwestern High School across the street on NW 10th Avenue,
Thena Crowder Elementary School across the street on NW 67th
Street and the commercial corridor along NW 7th Avenue, allowing
for pedestrian integration with the neighborhood. The Project's
entry drives are accessed from NW 691h Street (in line with the
existing T -intersection with NW 8th Terrace) and NW 67th Street.
Each residential building has a gated pedestrian access to the
public sidewalks of the three surrounding streets as well as entries
facing the landscaped secured on -grade parking which is laid out
to provide shaded pedestrian access to cars. The parking layout
allows for close proximity of parking spaces to each building entry.
The off-street loading areas are located at the corners of the on -
grade parking, adjacent to the residential buildings while discreet
and screened from the street.

The Project is proposed to be developed in three phases, as per
the following phasing:
• Phase I will consist of the residential Buildings A and B (with
a total of 150 units), at the east end of the site, along with
the clubhouse and outdoor residential amenities (pool,
children's playground and shaded lawns), landscaped on -
grade parking (as per the number required by Article 9, Sec.
917.7.2) and the two street access points, one from NW 69th
Street and the other from NW 67th Street. Refer to Phase
Site Plan A1.00.
• Phase II will consist of two additional residential buildings, C
and D, with a combined 172 units (Phase I and II total 322
units). Additional landscaped on -grade parking is provided
as per the number required by Article 9, Sec. 917.7.2).
Refer to Phase I Site Plan A1.00a.
• Phase III will complete the project with the final two
residential buildings, E and F, with a combined 252 units
(Phases I, II and III have a total of 574 units). Additional
landscaped on -grade parking as well as a two-story parking
garage (with three levels of parking including the roof level)
provide the total number of required parking spaces as per
Article 9, Sec. 917.7.2). Refer to Phase I Site Plan A1.00b.
The six residential buildings that make up the Project are of
alternating heights, from 7 to 12 stories, with articulated facades
and rooftops. Each building has its own circulation (elevators and
stairs) as well as trash collection facilities and laundry rooms. A
centrally located residential clubhouse provides communal and
recreational facilities. In addition there are residential amenites
throughout the site, such as a pool area, children's playground,
shaded lawns for flexible uses and multiple sheltered bicycle
racks. The designs of the buildings are articulated in pian and
elevation to promote a neighborhood friendly scale.
Drawings showing the architectural character and location of the
intended uses are included under Tab 6 of the Supporting
Documents.
