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.
