ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to replat one lot of approximately 0.378 acres. The applicant has indicated that lots will be subdivided into four lots for single family detached residential. The applicant is requesting a variance to the subdivision ordinance for lot shape and lot frontage to accommodate for development of the site and the request requires the approval of City Council.
The requested variance to the subdivision ordinance regarding lot shape and frontage aligns with the allowances specified under the Planned Development District Ordinance. This variance supports the proposed development of the unique cottage style single-family detached homes, which will front to a common area and private open space.
Given the lot layout design and adherence to the broader objectives of the PD Ordinance, staff is confident that this request will contribute positively to the community. For this reason, staff recommend approval of the variance request.
OPPOSITION TO OR SUPPORT OF REQUEST: Staff has not received any comments either in opposition to or in support of the proposed replat
