Keat ng, ICP ACRES FROM R-1, SINGLE - Planning & Development FAMILY DISTRICT, TO R -2B Director MULTIPLE -FAMILY DISTRICT FROM: i1ZS REFERENCES: Richard Shearer, AICP Sanders Rezoning Principal Planner DIS•RICH It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of January 4, 1984. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS - The applicants, represented by Christine Sanders as agent, and the County are requesting to rezone approximately 3.53 acres located one block north of North Gifford Road (45th Street) and on both sides of 38th Avenue from R-1, Single -Family District, to R -2B, Multiple -Family District, the subject property being all of blocks 2 and 4 of Lord Calviert Estates Subdivision. Ms. Sanders owns two lots in this subdivision and has submitted notarized written statements from all of the property owners in Blocks 2 and 4 of this subdivision, requesting a rezoning to a multiple -family zoning district. Ms. Sanders proposes to build a duplex on her two lots, a use which is not permitted under the existing R-1 zoning. On November 10, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to deny this rezoning request for several reasons. The Commission noted that this area was platted for single-family lots, and they -felt that it should remain so. The Commission also agreed with surrounding property owners who wanted to maintain the single-family character of this neighborhood. This denial was formally appealed by Ms. Sanders.
