Location: Approximately 0.86 acres located at the northeast intersection of Park Road and Reece Road. (Council District 6 - Smith)
Current Zoning: R-4 and R-5 (single-family residential)
Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
• The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Park Woodlawn Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
• The Plan recommends residential uses up to 12 dwelling 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 proposed development is across the street from the Park Road/Woodlawn Road Activity Center; and
• The increased density proposed for the subject site will result in more residents living within walking distance of the Activity Center; and
• The proposed development will also provide a transition between the more intensely developed Activity Center and the established single family residential development located north and east of the site; and
• The development has been designed to be compatible with the adjacent single family residential by limiting the maximum building height of the attached dwelling units to 40 feet, which is the height allowed for the single family homes; and
• The proposed development also includes an eight-foot planting strip and six-foot sidewalk which will improve both safety and the pedestrian experience for this site.
