Analysis
SUMMARY:
Zoning Change from SF-1, Single Family-One Residential District to SF-6, Single Family-Six Residential District to allow for a residential development at 3502 Gilbert Road.
ADJACENT LAND USES AND ACCESS:
North: Mobile Home Park, zoned PD-1, Planned Development 1
East: Mobile Home Park, zoned PD-1, Planned Development 1
South: Bear Creek South Park, zoned SF-1, Single Family-One Residential District
West: Single family house, zoned SF-5, Single Family-Five Residential District
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of this request is to change the zoning of 0.51 acres from SF-1, to SF-6 to allow for a residential development. This proposal has a companion case; a replat that will create three separate lots for single family houses. The plat may be approved administratively if the change of zoning is approved.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as appropriate for Low Density Residential (LDR) uses. Low density residential according to the Comprehensive Plan is 0-6 dwelling units per net acre. Considering this property will have 3 dwelling units on 0.51 acres, this meets the requirements of the FLUM.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
The existing zoning is SF-1 district. The proposed zoning for the 0.51 acres is SF-6 District. The zoning will be governed by the regulations found in the Unified Development Code (UDC) as amended.
