PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant is proposing to replat 1.254 acres in the Burbank Gardens Subdivision into a three-lot residential subdivision. The subject site is currently zoned Single Family-Four (SF-4) Residential District.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

The FLUM indicates that zoning districts consistent with the LDR designation are Agriculture (A), Single Family Estate (SF-E), and Single Family 1 - 4 Districts. The FLUM designates the appropriate density for LDR as 0 - 6 dwelling units per net acre. The subject site is zoned SF-4 and has an average density of approximately 3.94 dwelling units per acre. This proposal is consistent with the LDR FLUM designation.
