The zoning for the majority of the North Seventh Street Historic Residential District is Planned Development Residential, with a default Residential Medium 8 (RM-8) Zone. Some parcels within the district have not, however, been used historically as residences, including the parcel located at 535 North Seventh Street, which includes the First Church of Christ, Scientist building. The following uses, in addition to those allowed in the default RM-8 Zone District, are allowed on the parcel at 535 North Seventh Street: personal services, small appliance repair, general office, boarding school, museum, art gallery, opera house, library, medical, dental clinic, counseling center (nonresident), and health club, which uses shall be subject to the MU-1 performance standards established in GJMC § 21.03.070(a)(2) and (3) (but not, however, subject to GJMC § 21.03.070(a)(4); rather, these guidelines and standards shall apply to architectural consideration for the site); however, those uses allowed by right in the RM-8 Zone District are not subject to such performance standards. Except as expressly stated in this section, these guidelines and standards do not affect allowable uses or zoning.
Included in the North Seventh Street Historic Residential District are three properties south of Grand Avenue: two converted houses on the west side of Seventh Street and the RL-5 High School on the east. The houses are zoned Mixed-Use Downtown (MU-3) and the school is zoned Public, Civil, and Institutional Campus (P-2). For more information refer to GJMC Title 21, Zoning and Development Code.
