Mr. Robert B. Gerber
City Clerk
Building
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the appeal of Ja1;.cha S. and Rose B. Nemer
to relax the density standard in order to construct a 40 -unit apartment
building on property located in a bight and Heavy Industry district.
This is also written in response to the application for a permit to con-
struct a 57 -car parking facility on said property. The property is
located on the east side of Cleveland Avenue between Villard Avenue and
the Ford Motor Company railroad spur track, described as except that part
taken for Cleveland Avenue that part of the northwest 1/4 of the south-
west 1/4 of Section 16, T. 28, R. 23, bounded as follows: on the South by
a line 100 feet North of and parallel with the North Line of Villard Ave.;
on the West by the center line of Cleveland Ave.; on the North by the
Southerly line of the 140 foot railroad R -O -W; on the East by a line 150
feet East of and parallel with the East line of said Cleveland Avenue.
At the January 6, 1966 Board of Zoning meeting, the staff reported the
following surrounding uses: North, the railroad spur; East, single - family
residences; South, a grocery store; and West,'apartments. The surrounding
zoning is as follows: North, "A" Residence and Heavy Industry; East,
Light Industry; South and West, Commercial and Heavy Industry—
The area requirements for a 40 -unit apartment is 40,200 square feet and,
since the area of the property is 35,100 square feet, there is a defi-
ciency in area of approximately 5,100 square feet.
It was the findings of the Board that the proposed 40 -unit apartment
would be the best use of the property since an industrial use, which would
be undesirable in this location, could be developed on the property.
Therefore, the Board recommends approval of the appeal to relax the density
standard on the property. The Board also recommends approval of the appli-
cation of the permit to construct a 57 -car parking lot on said property.
Sincerely,

This appeal is taken by applicants Jascha S. Nemer and Rose B.

The legal description of the property involved is as follows:
That part of the Northwest quarter (NW 1/4) of the
Southwest quarter (SW 1/4) of Section sixteen (16),

apartment building constructed on this site and the area of the
m
The Honorable Mayor and City Council -2- November 24, 1965
land is only sufficient for 35 units under said ordinance.
It is submitted that this appeal should be granted for the reason
that the proposed apartment building will provide off - street
inside, underground parking for 62 cars. This is more than
ample off - street parking for the tenants and their guests, and
this construction will not cause any increase in street parking.
The proposed plans will establish that there will be ample on-
site driveways and ramps leading from the street into the
underground garage.
Further, the proposed construction as depicted in the plans
will show this to be a luxury type apartment building, each
unit of which will contain a minimum of 1175 square feet.
We also submit that it would not be economically sound for the
owners to construct a 35-unit apartment building on this particular
site of the type proposed and that this building will be a valuable
addition to the community.
In view, of the fact that the increase of five units over the maximum
provided by the ordinance will not cause any additional street
parking, and that each apartment will be most spacious and
roomy and without the crowding, of too many units per floor,
we respectfully submit that this application should be granted.
Yours very truly,
Jascha S. Nemer
In addition to the above, it -,sho be pointed out that the present
zoning of this property is for heavy industry and, of course, the
proposed construction is a higher use. It' follows that our
proposal will be highly beneficial to the City and especially to the,
area where the property is located, both aesthetically and taxwise.
