HomeMy WebLinkAbout2077-Z DATE: March 21, 2011 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.
