attached dwelling units, such as duplex units and townhomes." The applicant's proposed zoning, therefore, is compatible with the Future Land Use Plan for this subject property. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan: The Existing Parks and Open Space Plan Map indicates that the subject property is located within the Wade Park, Neighborhood Park '/2 mile service radius. The Trail and Sidewalk Map does not impact this subject property. The Future Parks and Open Spaces Plan Map designates Wade Park as a Renovated Park. The Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP): The MTP indicates that N.E. 25th Street is a Collector Roadway, and the subject property fronts on this thoroughfare. East Cherry Street is also indicated as a Collector Roadway. From a land use locational perspective, it is appropriate to site Moderate Density Residential uses at or near Collector Roadways. Additional Considerations Regarding the Staff Recommendation: (1) The city staff that comprises the Development Review Committee supports the applicant's request to rezone this subject property. The property is adjacent to substantial land areas already zoned MF -1 and the southern boundary of the property is directly adjacent to an existing MF -1 Zoning tract. The Future Land Use Plan Map recommends Moderate Density Residential (MDR) adjacent to the subject property in the following directions: north, northeast, east, south, southwest, and west. (2) City Engineer Carla Easton, P.E., stated that no additional thoroughfare R.O.W. is needed off of N.E. 25th Street: the 50' R.O.W. is adequate; no additional utility R.O.W. is required either. Jerry McDaniel, the Public Works Director, stated that he supports the city engineer's comment that no additional utility R.O.W. is needed, since sewer and water utilities are located within 25th Street. There are no known environmental constraints to this project. Clyde Crews, the Fire Marshal, has stated he has no issues with the proposed use or the zoning change. However, Mr. Crews has issues regarding the actual development (should this rezoning request be approved) concerning fire department accessibility, pertaining to the size and particularly the depth of the lot; this concern has been conveyed to the applicant so that it may be addressed in a timely manner. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council approve a change in zoning from a split zoning of Single — Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) and Multiple — Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF -1) to a single zoning of Multiple — Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF -1), on City Block 259, Lots 18 & 19, being located at 610 N.E. 25th Street.
