PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of this request is to change the zoning on 0.896 acres from SF-4 Single-Family Four Residential District to SF-6 Single-Family Six Residential District, to allow the applicant to move forward with a replat (RP200303) of four residential lots, being 1, 2, 3, and 4 to create Lots 1R, 1R-1, 2R, 3R, and 4R. The SF-4 density maximum of 5.8 units per acre and lot width only allow for 4 lots being 60 feet wide, whereas the SF-6 district density maximum is 8.7 units per acre, and allows for five 50-foot-wide lots. The lot reasonably accommodates the uses permitted in the SF-6 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.
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 0.178 acre lots, the request is consistent with the FLUM.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
The existing base zoning is SF-4 Single-Family Four Residential District. The proposed base zoning for the 0.896 acres is SF-6. All zoning will defer to the Unified Development Code (UDC) as amended.
Dimensional Requirements
The following outlines the minimum dimensional requirements of the SF-6 district and provides an analysis of the proposed compliance with the district.
