Summary
MEETING DATE: August 26, 2014
DEPARTMENT: Planning
CONTACT: Brandon Opiela, Planning Manager
Samantha Pickett, Planner II
APPROVAL PROCESS: The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council for final action at the September 16, 2014 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the proposed zoning request due to lack of conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
However, the applicant is requesting approval of the following special ordinance provisions:
1. The subject property shall develop in conformance with Section 146-105 ("SF5" - Single Family Residential District) of the Zoning Ordinance, and as amended, except as follows:
a. The maximum density shall be 4.5 dwelling units per acre.
b. The minimum mean lot size shall be 7,160 square feet and the minimum median lot size shall be 7,000 square feet.
c. All dwelling units shall be 100 percent masonry (brick, stone, or synthetic stone) on the first floor, exclusive of windows and doors.
d. Street trees shall be planted at one tree per thirty (30) linear feet along Custer Road.
Staff's professional opinion is that while residential uses may be appropriate in this location, Staff sees no reason why the subject property is unable to conform to the maximum density and minimum mean and median lot sizes outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.
