Background Information:
The property owner is requesting a zoning change from Single Family-6 (SF-6) to Single Family-4.5 (SF-4.5) to allow the property to be replatted into up to three similarly sized lots for the construction of single-family homes. The reduced setbacks in the SF-4.5 district are better suited to the site’s grading constraints and will facilitate its development.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
A motion was made by Chair Case, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to recommend approval of the request. The motion passed with a 9-0 vote.
