Background Information:
The subject property is currently located outside the City Limits in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and one single family house currently exists on the property. The property is surrounded by single-family residential uses outside the City Limits, multifamily residential uses, and a Sorority House. The property does not currently have a zoning designation, however, the zoning request is presented with the assumption of a current zoning of Future Development (FD) as the property is scheduled to be considered for annexation at City Council on September 4th and will be provided a FD zoning designation at that time.
The property owner is proposing to rezone the property to Character District - 3 (CD-3) in order to allow for the development of 29 single family lots. The property is not located in an Existing Neighborhood on the Comprehensive Plan, therefore, an Existing Neighborhood Regulating Plan is not required to accompany the zoning request. If approved, the applicant will be allowed to construct residential Building Types including a House, Cottage, Accessory Dwelling Unit, Cottage Court, Duplex, Zero Lot Line House, or Civic Building.
The applicant currently has a Preliminary Plat in review with the City and intends to construct a “Cottage” Building Type in accordance with the applicable lot and development standards.
