Summary:
This is a request to amend the Zoning Atlas from A-E, Agricultural Estate Residential district to RPD-2.5, Residential Planned Development district, 2.5 units per acre. The subject area consists of approximately 8.32 acres covering two parcels. Each parcel currently contains a single family home. The applicant is proposing a 20-unit single family subdivision. The zoning amendment is necessary to allow the additional units, as the current A-E zoning would only allow one unit per two acres (four homes total). A Future Land Use Map amendment is unnecessary because the Residential Suburban future land use category currently in place allows the proposed density. The proposal is consistent with much of the existing development in the surrounding area. There are no anticipated issues with this request.
Background Information:
The Local Planning Agency (LPA) unanimously recommended approval of the request during their September 10, 2015 public hearing (6-0 vote).
