The subject site presently consists of 8 vacant single family lots. 3. The subject site is zoned R-3B, Multiple Family Residential. 4. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site for medium density residential. 5. The proposed zero-lot-line single family residential development (PRD-51/PL-176) would conform to the overall development p"lan for the area which calls for commercial development north of 10th Street: NW, apartments south of 10th Street NW, and medium density single i family homes south of the apartments. I 6. The proposed PRD-51/PL-176 would create 11 smaller single family lots to accommodate affordable housing, thus, blending in with the existing residential development to the east, west, and south. 7. The applicant has agreed to establish restrictive or design covenants and declarations which would ensure proper design, construction, and maintenance of the individual structures and landscaping. 8. The proposed PRD-51/PL-176 would be developed at a density of 5.3 units per acre, well below the allowed density in the R-3B district i of 7.7 units per acre for a three bedroom unit. 9.

A traffic study performed in 1984 concluded the traffic volumes generated by the development of the entire R-3B district along 9th Avenue NW would be adequately handled by 9th Avenue NW and 10th Street NW. 11. On March 26, 1985, the City Council approved final PRD-40/PL-138 fori Water Ridge Plaza which included 14 medium density single family lots to be developed as zero lot line homes along 9th Avenue NW.
