Title
Rezoning Petition: 2017-068 by Hopedale Builders, Inc.
Body
Location: Approximately 0.41 acres located on the south side of Faison Avenue between North Davidson Street and North Brevard Street. (Council District 1 - Kinsey)
Current Zoning: R-5 (single family residential)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-1 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the majority of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
* The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Blue Line Extension Transit Station Area Plan, but inconsistent with the specifically recommended low density (up to six units per acre) for the subject properties based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
* The plan recommends residential uses up to six units per acre.
* Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
* The properties are located on the south side of Faison Avenue amidst single family detached homes, duplex units, and vacant lots.
* The proposed duplex units will provide new housing on vacant lots to complement the existing duplex and detached single family units on Faison Avenue.
* While the proposed density is greater than the specific density recommended by the adopted plan, the plan does state that moderate density residential development can be supported if designed to be consistent with the community design section of the plan.
* The proposed development adheres to community design policies of the adopted plan by orienting buildings to the street, locating parking to the rear of the buildings, and providing porches and stoops similar to surrounding single family dwellings.
