Site Security: Adequate None proposed Adequate STAFF COMMENTS General The applicant's amended proposal is to rezone four acres of R-I, Single Family Residential property to R-2, Two Family Residential in order to construct 29 townhouse units on the subject property. The proposed townhouse development would comply with the City's R-2 district standards and Parking Ordinance requirements. All existing buildings would be removed from the subject property to allow for the proposed townhomes. The applicant plans to combine the three exciting single family lots into one large parcel. The proposed townhomes would be developed as condominium units and share the same common space. Rezoning The Hoisington Koegler Group, consultant in charge of the Highway 8 Corridor Study, has advised the City the Silver Oak Development site on the comer of 3rd Street NW and Old highway 8 is appropriate for residential development. In fact, the consultant indicated they are more and more inclined to believe some form of multiple family residential would be appropriate for that comer. The proposed rezoning to R-2 would allow the subject site to accommodate multiple family residential uses. Rezoning the subject site to R-2, Two Family Residential would allow for a tier effect of land use intensity from single family residential to the west, low density residential on the subject site, and Old Highway 8 and industrial uses to the east. Note: Leaving the site zoned R-I, Single Family Residential would allow for 18 single family detached units on the subject site, or with a PRD overlay, 22 single family attached or detached units would be allowed on the subject site.
