Item No. 24 Memorandum TO: City Council Grayson Path, City Manager FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Judy Daugherty for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) in the Willowcrest #2 Addition, Block A, Lot 7, located at 1315 NE 26th Street- LCAD 39756. MTG. DATE: December 13, 2021 BACKGROUND At its meeting held on December 6, 2021, the Commission recommended denial to the City Council for the above rezoning request by Judy Daugherty on a 5-1 vote. The original staff recommendation was for approval based upon the Future Land Use Map guiding the neighborhood for Medium Density Residential but; this was prior to objections received during the public hearing proceedings for the case. Ms. Daugherty was not in attendance at the P&Z hearing, but plans to be in attendance at the Council meeting. The zoning change is from SF -2 to 2F. The applicant intends to construct a duplex. The proposed change would also have provided for an expanded & contiguous 2F District Boundary, although it would be the only duplex residence along the 1 block area of 26th St. NE. There are, however, duplexes developed along Kessler Dr. to the southwest and in the cul-de-sac area at the north end of the block on 26th. The property is conforming in size with regard to dimensions and setbacks for new duplex construction. ANALYSIS • The subject property is zoned SF -2, is Guided for Medium Density Residential and is undeveloped • The land area to the West is zoned 217, is Guided for Medium Density Residential, and the residence is a duplex • The land area to the North is Zoned SF -2, is guided for Medium Density Residential, with a single- family home • The land area to the East is Zoned SF -2, is guided for Medium Density Residential, with a single- family home • The land area to the South is Zoned SF -2, is guided for Medium Density Residential, with a single- family home
