A building permit was issued to TVA Architects for a project at 1313 SE Lambert St:
New 4 story 19 unit apartment building, main floor to include trash room and electrical room; with associated site work
The project at 1313 SE Lambert St seems surprising; it goes against the step-down-from-the-main-street philosophy. There aren’t any 4-story buildings anywhere near this site. I’m all for good density, but that site isn’t even on the main drag – it will really tower compared to its surroundings, especially being on the side street.
1313 SE Lambert will, I believe, face on SE 13th, which is a Neighborhood Collector Street. Not a major arterial, but a minor commercial street. It could be considered a Neighborhood “main street”.
Mike,
You’re right. The 1313 building is facing Lambert, not 13th. This only makes sense when you look at the zoning map, and see that the commercial zone extends back to include this lot. This makes the commercial zoning boundary a consistent distance from the Neighborhood Collector of 13th Ave. If the building west of it were also 4 stories, it would be more consistent. And maybe one day it will be.
But for now, this odd pattern will emerge. A similar thing is happening at 2515 SE 41st, a 50 x 100 lot south of Division, that is also the last commercial lot before the R-2.5/R-5 zoning starts.
