PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of this request is to change the zoning on 0.3584 acres from “GR” to “SF-4” to allow for an existing residence. The lot reasonably accommodates the uses permitted in the “SF-4” base zoning district, and staff has found no indication of adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning, or adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare. Approving the change to “SF-4” will align the zoning to the current use of the property.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the subject property as Low Density Residential (LDR). Low Density Residential according to the Comprehensive Plan is 0-6 dwelling units per net acre. Considering this property will have one dwelling unit on 0.3584 acres, the request is consistent with the FLUM.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
The existing base zoning is “GR” Neighborhood Service District. The proposed base zoning for the 0.3584 acres is “SF-4”. All zoning will defer to the Unified Development Code (UDC) as amended.
Dimensional Requirements
The following outlines the minimum dimensional requirements of the “SF-4” district and provides an analysis of the proposed compliance with the district.
