Analysis
SUMMARY:
Approval of a Zoning Change from Commercial Office (CO) District to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District for the construction of five (5) single family detached residences. The subject property is currently zoned Commercial Office (CO) District and lies within the State Highway 161 (SH 161) Overlay Corridor District. The property is located at the southwest corner of Dalworth Street and N.W. 20th Street.
ADJACENT LAND USES:
North - Parcels north of the subject property are zoned General Retail (GR) District and used for auto repair related uses (Ken’s Auto Care).
South - The Dalworth Park Subdivision is located to the south; properties within the subdivision are zoned Single Family-Four (SF-4) District.

PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change of a 1.119 acre property from Commercial Office (CO) District to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District in order to allow the construction of five (5) single family homes. The applicant has submitted a corresponding replat on the current agenda for consideration establishing 5 single family residential lots to SF-6 District standards.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan shows this area as appropriate for Commercial/Retail/Office uses. The proposed zoning change for Low Density Residential (LDR) uses is inconsistent with the FLUM; however the request conforms to the existing surrounding land uses. Periodic updates are made to the FLUM for consistency purposes.
PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change from Commercial Office (CO) District to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District to allow the construction of five (5) single family detached homes. If the property is rezoned to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District, the property and proposed single family houses shall meet the minimum density and dimensional requirements of the Unified Development Code.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
If rezoned to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District, the subject property will be governed by the Single Family-Five (SF-6) District standards. Replatting of the property will be required prior to the issuance of any building permits. Future lots and new development must conform to the density and dimensional requirements of the Unified Development Code.
