Background Information:
The site currently contains one duplex building. The requested zoning change will increase the allowed density of the site from 6 units per acre to 10 units per acre and will allow for the construction of one additional unit.
An application to change this site from D to ND-3 was previously refused by City Council on August 18, 2020. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the application at their July 28, 2020 meeting.
An Existing Neighborhood Regulating Plan accompanies this application. The Regulating Plan proposes three lots with two zero lot line homes (to be converted from the existing duplex structure) and one additional detached zero lot line home.
Changing from existing “D” Duplex to ND-3 in Existing Neighborhoods is “Not Preferred” according to Tables 4.1 and 4.3 in the Development Code - the Code recommends that the more intense districts of ND-3.2 and ND 3.5 be considered instead. However, due to the surrounding single family residential uses, staff is supportive of the less intense ND-3 designation.
