Mi le , AICP, Senior Planner,��v� Vasudha Pinnamaraju, Planner �,,,�.,. � '��,'yi"°J� SUBJECT: Rezoning of 2065 South 34th Place from R-1 Single Family Residence District to R-2 Single Family Residence District SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning as requested. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the petition at the March 2, 2006 hearing; the Plan Commission minutes are attached. BACKGROUND: The subject site is located at South 34th Place and East Orchard Drive. Surrounding properties on the north, south, east and west are zoned R-1 Single Family Residence District. However, most property from Route 36 to the north, Albany Place on the west and Hilltop Drive on the east is zoned R-2 Single Family Residence District. The site was annexed in 1981; an adjacent area was annexed in 1987; the properties came into the City as R-1 Single Family Residence District. These properties were not rezoned to R-2 which would be the appropriate zoning. Staff will look into bringing a petition forward rezoning the area between Maryland Street, Orchard Drive, 32nd Place and Albany Place to R-2. Both R-1 and R-2 districts are Single Family Residence Districts. The minimum required R-1 lot size is 20,000 square feet; a minimum width of 80 feet is required; set backs are 30 feet front yard, 20 feet rear yard and 10 feet on both side yards. The minimum required R-21ot size is 9000 square feet; a minimum width of 60 feet is required; set backs are 25 feet front yard, 16 feet rear yard and 8 feet on both side yards. The subject site contains a residential structure on the south side of the lot and a vacant yard on the north side. The petitioner plans to subdivide the premises and build another house on the vacant portion of the current lot. When subdivided, the proposed Lot One will contain 16,131 square feet and be 101.5 feet wide; the proposed Lot Two will contain 11,139 square feet and be 70 feet wide. The petitioner plans to construct a single family residence which will be in harmony with the neighborhood. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no objectors to the petition at the Plan Commission meeting.
