• R-1AAA (existing zoning) The low density residential land use district is established for the purpose of providing and preserving areas of single-family, low intensity development at a maximum density of 4.8 dwelling units per acre in areas deemed suitable because of compatibility with existing development and/or the environmental character of the areas.
• R-1A (proposed zoning). The medium-density residential land use district is established for the purpose of providing a mixture of one- and two-family dwellings with a maximum density of 17.4 dwelling units per acre. Recognizing that, for the most part, these zoning districts are located in older areas of the city, the zoning regulations are intended to promote infill development which is in character with the density, intensity and scale of the existing neighborhoods.
• LDR (existing FLU) 5 or fewer residential dwelling units per acre.
• MDR (proposed FLU) 18 or fewer residential dwelling units per acre.
This request has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers. Those comments are attached for your review.
