PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of this request is to change the zoning on 0.15 acres from GR General Retail District to SF-6 Single-Family Six Residential District, to allow the applicant to construct a single-family dwelling on the lot. 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.
PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change from General Retail (GR) District to Single Family-Six (SF-6) District to allow the construction of a single family detached home. 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. In order for the property to meet all the conditions of Single Family-Six District, the applicant will be required to replat the property from two lots into one lot.
The zoning of General Retail District for this location and along Dalworth Street has been in place since the 1970’s. In the last four years, City Council has approved similar zoning requests along Dalworth Street.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the subject property as Commercial/Retail/Office (CRO). CRO is not consistent with the SF-6. Staff is not proposing any changes to the FLUM at this time. The FLUM designates the surrounding area as Mixed Use and CRO. This request and existing development identify the need to review the FLUM for this area.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
The existing base zoning is GR General Retail District. The proposed base zoning for the 0.15 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.
