Analysis
SUMMARY:
Zoning Change from MF-1, Multi-Family District to PD, Planned Development with an underlying zoning of SF-6, Single Family 6 Dwelling District.
ADJACENT LAND USES AND ACCESS:
North: Single Family Dwelling, zoned MF-1
East: Single Family Dwelling, zoned MF-1
South: Single Family Dwelling, zoned MF-1
West: Single Family Dwelling, zoned MF-1
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to rezone the property located at 2024 W.E. Roberts Street to a Planned Development to allow for a single family dwelling. Approval of the Planned Development would allow for exceptions to the base SF-6 zoning to make the lot buildable.
EXCEPTONS
1. The applicant is requesting a minimum lot size of 4000 square feet from the required 5000 square feet for the SF-6 Zoning District.
2. The applicant is requesting a minimum lot depth of 80 feet rather than the required 100 feet for the SF-6 Zoning District.
CONFORMANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the rezoning area as Low Density Residential. The proposed zone change fits with the character of the area as well as the FLUM.
RECOMMENDATION:
Due to the size of the property and the configuration of surrounding properties as single family housing, staff recommends approval of this zoning change from MF-1, Multi-Family Dwelling District to a PD, Planned Development for a residential dwelling, including the requested exceptions.
