PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is proposing to replat 9.76 acres in PD-130 into a two lot non-residential subdivision. This proposal has companion cases that will change the zoning from PD-130 for single family-1 (SF-1) District to GR-1 District, as well as, a specific use permit and site plan to allow a restaurant with drive-through in the southwest corner of the subject site.
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. This use is inconsistent with this FLUM designation. Annually, the Future Land Use Map is revised to address inconsistencies that arise during the year.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
Dimensional Requirements
The subject site is zoned PD-130 for single family residential uses. However, a request is being made in conjunction with this proposal to change the zoning to GR-1 District. The proposal has been evaluated against the GR-1 District requirements. The proposal meets all applicable minimum dimension requirements for the GR-1 zoning district. The following table provides detailed dimensional requirements information. The applicant is proposing two lots. Staff reviewed the standards conservatively; the standard was evaluated against the smallest dimension presented.
