The applicant requested a rezoning change from SF -3 to 2F to permit the construction of a new duplex.
Platting of the property is also currently underway.
The subject property is zoned SF -3, is guided for Low Density Residential and is a vacant lot.
• The land to the West is zoned 217, is guided for Low Density Residential, and is a vacant lot,
• The land to the North is zoned 2F, is guided for Low Density Residential, and is a vacant lot.
• The land to the East is zoned 2F, is guided for Low Density Residential and is a single family home.
• The land to the South is Zoned 2F, is guided for Low Density Residential and is single family home.
The change in zoning will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, if approved for
amendment. The proposed residential use of the property is consistent with the existing residential
character and uses in this immediate street area. The change in zoning will eliminate the spot
zoning of SF -3 along this street. And the change in zoning will permit the construction of the
needed new residential housing in the community. The site is in the 5 In 5 Infill Housing eligibility
