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.
