Background Information:
The subject property is approximately 15.83 acres and includes 25 platted Townhouse Lots as well as 2 Drainage Easement / Amenity Lots which create open space for the development and provide rear access to the Townhouse lots. The property is zoned (TH) Townhouse Residential District. .
According to the land use matrix, attached single family townhouses are allowed by right in the TH zoning district. The owner now wishes to construct an alternative housing product: “Single Family Zero Lot Line/Patio Home”. The land use matrix indicates that this type of housing product may only be allowed in a TH zoning district with a conditional use permit. Thus, the owner is requesting that the commission consider approval of a conditional use permit to allow its proposed alternative housing product.
This type of housing product accommodates either detached or two attached dwelling units with each unit constructed on a separate lot. If the use is approved, the applicant will be increasing the width of the lots to accommodate houses that are approximately 1,300 - 1,500 square feet in size.
