Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning and Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a request for a zoning classification change from RR-1 (Rural Residential) to RU-1-11 (Single-Family Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning from RR-1 (Rural Residential) to RU-1-11 (Single-Family Residential) on 14.37 acres to develop a single-family detached subdivision with 14 lots. The proposed BDP is self-imposed to limit density of the property to one unit per acre. In other words, limiting development to 14 single-family units rather than the potential 57 single-family units. The subject parcel is currently undeveloped and is located on the east side of Turtle Mound Rd., approximately 240 feet north of Aurora Rd.
The existing RR-1 zoning classification requires a minimum lot size of one acre. The proposed RU-1-11 zoning classification would reduce the minimum lot size to 7,500 square feet; however, the overall development density would remain limited to a maximum of four dwelling units per acre pursuant to the RES 4 Future Land Use designation.
NRM comments identify several environmental and floodplain development constraints affecting the subject property. Pursuant to Section 62-3694(c)(1), residential land uses within wetlands are limited to no more than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres. For subdivisions and multi-family developments exceeding five acres in size, Section 62-3694(c)(6) allows this limitation to be applied as a maximum percentage, restricting cumulative wetland impacts to no more than 1.8% of the total non-commercial and non-industrial acreage.
