DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />L -J <br />Dan and Joan Preuss, trustees, are requesting to rezone <br />approximately .46 acres consisting of one lot of Roseland Gardens <br />Subdivision -from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to <br />6 units/acre), to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up <br />to 6 units/acre). <br />The applicants intend to develop this lot for a duplex. <br />On October 23, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission. voted <br />5 -to -O to recommend approval of this request. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- <br />cation will be presented.' The analysis will include a descrip- <br />tion of_ the current and future land uses of the site and sur- <br />rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and <br />utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- <br />mental quality. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property consists of a vacant lot. North and east of <br />the subject property are duplexes, single-family dwellings, and <br />vacant lots zoned RM -6. South and west of the subject property <br />are single-family dwellings and vacant lots zoned RS -6. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all of <br />the land around it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 <br />units/acre). <br />Roseland Gardens Subdivision is evolving from a predominantly <br />single-family subdivision to a subdivision containing half <br />single-family dwellings and half duplexes. During the last three <br />years, at least six site plans have been submitted to` construct <br />additional duplexes in. this subdivision. Based on this trend, <br />staff feels that additional lots should be made available for <br />duplexes in this subdivision. <br />Transportation Svstem <br />The subject property has direct access to Mulberry Street <br />(classified as a local street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The <br />.,. maximum development of the subject property under RM -6 zoning <br />could generate up to 14 average annual daily trips. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />Neither County water nor wastewater facilities are available for <br />this subdivision. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />There were none. <br />37 BOOK Pt1E <br />DEC 1986 <br />
