PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of this request is to change the zoning on 0.509 acres from O to SF-1 to allow for the construction of a single-family residence. The lot reasonably accommodates the uses permitted in the SF-1 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-1 will provide further continuity of the single-family zoning currently in place in the surrounding area.
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 0.509 acres, the request is consistent with the FLUM.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS:
The existing base zoning is O Office District. The proposed base zoning for the 0.509 acres is SF-1. All zoning will defer to the Unified Development Code (UDC) as amended.
Dimensional Requirements
The following outlines the minimum dimensional requirements of the SF-1 district and provides an analysis of the proposed compliance with the district.
