TO: Planning Commission and City Council
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a zone change from RM-M (Residential
Multiple Family Dwelling-Medium Density) District to RM-H
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District.
FILE: 1874-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Fittz and Shipman, Inc. has requested a zone change from RM-M
(Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Medium Density) District to
RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density) District
for property located on the north side of Concord, near Judy Lane.
The developer of the 62.3 acres proposes to construct single family
homes, low density townhomes and high density apartments. The
11.8 acre subject tract proposed for high density apartments is
currently zoned RM-M and allows for a gross density of 17 units per
acre. The developer wishes to exceed that density, thus necessitating
the need to rezone the property to RM-H. RM-H zoning allows a
gross density of 29 units per acre.
The applicant states that the subject property is bounded by Concord
on the south and a concrete drainage ditch on the east. The RM-H
zoning will buffer the lower density uses from the high traffic volume
on Concord.
Exhibits are attached.
