5. Lafayette Loft Apartments Undue Hardship Variance
The North College Development Co, L.L.0 (Applicant) is requesting an Undue Hardship Variance
Section 156.03 (A)(1), for the Lafayette Loft Apartments project.
The project is located in the St. Joseph's Church and School on Lafayette Avenue. The Applicant is
proposing 39 units on 1.99 acres of land. The Park Land Ordinance requires .66 acres or $15,327 to
meet the recreation needs of residents for this development.
On April 7, 2003, PRAB voted to accept a combination of money and land to meet these
requirements. The Applicant has provided .176 acres, leaving $11,261.87 to be paid as parks fees.
The Applicant is requesting the dedication of .176 acres be applicable to all park land dedication fees
per the memo attached.
Parks Staff recommends that the April 7, 2003 PRAB decision stand based on the following:
• The Park Land Ordinance requires .66 acres of land be dedicated to meet the parks and
recreation needs of the proposed development. The developer is only providing .176
acres.
• Parks Staff and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board decided to take this land in
combination with money based upon results from a public Willow -Washington
Neighborhood Association Meeting. Comments and concerns from the neighborhood
clearly pointed to the desire to obtain the land as a public park so that it would be held in
perpetuity for use by the neighborhood and its residents, despite what future development
may occur.
• The Park Land Ordinance formula is based on land costs throughout the city; both inner
and outer city land costs have been factored into the formula. The price per acre is set at
$23,125.
• Parks Staff does not want to create a precedent of granting hardship to developers that
could severely limit the City's ability to provide for its citizen's parks and recreation
needs.
