HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
Olde City Developers, LLC is requesting a Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map Amendment for the westerly portion of the property located at 1717 N. Palafox Street and identified by parcel number 000S009010001101. The property is currently zoned R-1AAA, Single-Family Residential Zoning District, and the Future Land Use is LDR - Low Density Residential. The applicant is proposing to amend the zoning district to R-1A, One and Two Family Residential Zoning District, and the Future Land Use to MDR - Medium Density Residential. The subject area totals 1.38 acres.
Per Section 12-3-3 - Low Density Residential Land Use Districts.
Purpose of district. 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. The nature of the use of property is basically the same in all three single-family zoning districts. Variation among the R-1AAAAA, R-1AAAA and R-1AAA districts is in requirements for lot area, lot width, and minimum yards.
Per Section 12-3-4 - Medium Density Residential Land Use Districts.
Purpose. Purpose of district. 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.
On September 14, 2021, the Planning Board recommended denial of the request with a 4 - 2 vote with board members Kurt Larson and Paul Ritz dissenting.
