from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 <br />units/acre) to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District _(up to <br />6 units/acre). The total area involved in the rezoning consists <br />of .30 acres. <br />The applicants intend to develop this lot for a duplex. <br />On December 2, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned <br />the lot located immediately north of the subject property from <br />RS -6 to RM -6. <br />On February 12, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted <br />7 -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 />1. North: Single -Family Homes, Duplexes and Vacant Lots zoned <br />RM -6. <br />2. South: Single -Family Homes and Vacant Lots zoned RS -6. <br />3. East: Single -Family Homes, Duplexes and Vacant Lots zoned <br />RM -6. <br />4. West: Single -Family Homes and Vacant Lots zoned RS -6. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all <br />of the land around it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential (allowing <br />up to 6 units/acre). <br />Roseland Gardens Subdivision is currently evolving from a <br />predominantly single-family subdivision to one which contains - <br />half single-family residences and half duplexes. In the last <br />three years the majority of the construction within the area <br />currently zoned RM -6 has been for duplexes. Because of this <br />trend in development, staff feels that additional lots should be <br />made available for duplexes within this subdivision. <br />Transportation System <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, and <br />Planning and Zoning Commission, staff <br />48 <br />i 4�y.197 <br />the recommendation of the <br />recommends approval. <br />Boos Fa;F. ��i <br />
