Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant requests to change a portion of the 2.75-acre property from BU-1 and RU-2-30 to RU-2-4 in order to subdivide the property into a commercial portion and a residential portion. The existing RU-2-30 zoned portion (allows up to 30 units per acre), is nonconforming to the FLU (Future Land Use) Map and is not connected to centralized sewer. A Variance to reduce the lot width from 75 feet to 50 feet within the proposed RU-2-4 zoning classification was approved by the Board of Adjustment on January 19, 2022.
The applicant wishes to retain multi-family use and is down-zoning the intensity to four units per acre to be consistent with the CC (Community Commercial) Future Land Use residential density limitation. The western portion of the lot that is not part of this zoning request is developed as a concrete block building. The owner wishes to retain the BU-1 zoning on that portion of the parcel. There are three residential structures and one accessory building within the RU-2-30 portion. One commercial building is located within the BU-1 portion of the overall site.
The subject property is currently designated as CC (Community Commercial) and NC (Neighborhood Commercial) FLU. The proposed RU-2-4 zoning is consistent with both the existing CC and NC FLU designations. The existing BU-1 zoned portion is consistent with the CC FLU designation.
