213 Visitacion Ave. Mixed-Use Project

Project Planner: Julia Ayres, Senior Planner | EMAIL | (415) 508-2129

This project consists of a new mixed-use building within the NCRO-2 Neighborhood Commercial- Downtown Brisbane zoning district.  The 35-ft tall, three-story building would contain a four-car private parking garage, utilizing stacked mechanical parking lifts, and a 283 sq ft storefront on the ground floor, and two 1-bedroom dwelling units and two 2-bedroom dwelling units on the second and third floors. The site is currently developed with a single-family dwelling, a nonconforming use in the NCRO-2 District.    

NCRO-2 District regulations require a use permit for mixed-use development and a design permit for any new principal structure in the District.  A use permit was also approved to allow the development to provide four off-street compact parking spaces in mechanical lifts, where five spaces are required (four standard sized).  The design permit approval also included reduction in the minimum ground floor store front area from 600 sq ft required to 283 sq ft, and reduction in the area of outdoor recreation areas from 400 sq ft per unit to 184 sq ft per unit.
