BACKGROUND:
The subject site fronts onto Hunter Road and consists of one approximately 9.717 acre unplatted parcel out of the Juan M Veramendi Survey. Surrounding uses include a mix of multi-family and single-family residential as well as big-box retail to the rear. The property is currently being used as a mobile home park.
MF-24 zoning would allow the construction of apartments, as well as other less-dense residential structures, e.g. duplexes, townhomes, or single-family structures. No plans have been submitted at this time; however, all requirements in the Land Development Code must be met.
The property is located within a Medium Intensity Zone on the Preferred Scenario Map. A request to MF-24 can be made without a Preferred Scenario Amendment in this zone as per the zoning translation table.
