These parcels are currently zoned R-2 - Residential/Office District and R-1AAA - Low Density Residential District and the existing Future Land Use (FLU) designations are Office/Residential and Low Density Residential. The applicant is proposing to amend the zoning districts to C-1, Commercial Zoning District and the FLUM to Commercial.
Existing Zoning Districts and Future Land Use:
• R-2 - The residential/office land use district is established for the purpose of providing for a mixture of residential housing types and densities and office uses. Residential and office uses shall be allowed within the same structure. When the R-2 zoning district is located in older, developed areas of the city, the zoning regulations are intended to provide for residential or office infill development at a density, character and scale compatible with the surrounding area. In some cases the R-2 district is also intended as a transition area between commercial and residential uses.
• R-1AAA - 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.
• FLU - Office/Residential - 18 or fewer residential dwelling units per acre.
• FLU - Low Density Residential - 5 or fewer residential dwelling units per acre.
Proposed Zoning District and Future Land Use:
• C-1 - The C-1 zoning district's regulations are intended to provide for conveniently supplying the immediate needs of the community where the types of services rendered and the commodities sold are those which are needed frequently. The C-1 zoning district is intended to provide a transitional buffer between mixed-use neighborhood commercial areas and more intense commercial zoning.
• Commercial FLU - The Commercial Land Use District is established for the purpose of providing areas of commercial development ranging from compact shopping areas to limited industrial/high intensity commercial uses. Conventional
residential use is allowed as well as residential uses on upper floors above ground floor commercial or office uses and in other types of mixed-use development.
