Item No. 11 <br />TO: Mayor & Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE, 2531 PINE BLUFF <br />DATE: August 7, 2018 <br />BACKGROUND: Scott and Kristi Hearne have applied for a zoning change on a 0.272 acre lot <br />at 2531 Pine Bluff. The purpose of their request is to change the zoning from SF -2 Residential <br />to MF -2 Residential in order to construct a duplex on this vacant property. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: There are several other duplex buildings in this area, on various streets, <br />and at least one triplex. The future land use plan calls for medium density residential for this <br />area; therefore, this proposed change in zoning is consistent with the city's plan, and would fit in <br />with existing residential usage. <br />If the zoning change is approved, the owners will be required to seek a variance from the city's <br />Board of Adjustment, because the lot is not deep enough to meet building setback requirements <br />for either a duplex or a single family home. However, this is not a zoning issue. There are no <br />flood zone or other restrictions. <br />On August 6 the planning and zoning commission recommended approval by a 7-0 vote. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve zoning change from SF -2 Residential to MF -2 Residential. <br />
