TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District to RM-H (Residential Multiple Family
Dwelling-Highest Density) District
FILE: 2077-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial.
In 2009, Mr. Duong had applied for the same zone change for the
property in question. At that time, the Planning Manager had
recommended denial based upon the fact that the rezoning would
encroach to far into an established single family area.
It is the desire of the applicant to construct 80-100 multifamily units
on the subject property. The property extends approximately 1,258
feet along Abilene. To the north, east and west are single family
residences. Abilene is a local street with a 60' wide right-of-way, an
18' wide pavement and open ditches. The traffic that up to 100
apartment units generate would have adverse affects on Abilene and
its intersection with E. Lucas.
The Planning Manager does not believe circumstances have changed
from 2009 to warrant a positive recommendation on this request at
this time.
