00 6Th Ave SE Dickinson, ND 58601

This 32.50-acre property, totaling 1,415,700 square feet, is located within the city limits of Dickinson, North Dakota, and is zoned R-3 for High-Density Residential use. The R-3 zoning employs a site-area formula that allows for townhomes or multifamily units. For properties with up to four units, the requirement is 7,000 square feet for the first unit, plus 3,000 square feet for each additional unit. For developments exceeding four units, the formula is 7,000 square feet, plus 3,000 square feet for the next three units, and 1,000 square feet for each subsequent unit. The maximum building coverage is 70%, with standard front, side, and rear yard requirements. This zoning framework is designed to facilitate efficient, phased multifamily development. A feasibility study conducted in 2012 for this site concluded that it could support approximately 525 apartments. While the R-3 zoning's site-area rules might theoretically permit a higher number of units, the actual yield is influenced by factors such as setbacks, parking ratios, utilities, stormwater management, and open-space programming. It is recommended to use 525 units as the planning ceiling and to size infrastructure accordingly. Phased delivery, such as 150 to 200 units per phase, is recommended, with amenities sequenced to match absorption rates. This approach would also preserve acreage for circulation, greenspace, and potential future expansions.
