Residential Low Density category provides for single family homes at densities not
to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is typically
characterized by conventional single family homes, but may also include patio or

garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6
units per acre. The application is to change the property from C-3 (General
Commercial District) to R-2 (Single Family District) to allow future development.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan shows Residential Low
Density (RL) in all directions. The Residential Low Density category provides for
single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such
residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family
homes, but may also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided
that the density remain less than 6 units per acre.
Master Street Plan: To the south is 31st Street and to the west is South Main
Street; both are Local Streets on the Master Street Plan. The primary function of
Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are
abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are
considered as “Commercial Streets”. These streets may require dedication of
right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the
site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
H.ANALYSIS:
RNB Custom Built Homes, LLC, owner of the 0.124 acre property located at 3025
S. Main Street, is requesting that the property be rezoned from “C-3” General
Commercial District to “R-3” Single Family District. The rezoning is proposed to
allow for the construction of one (1) single family residence. The property is
comprised of one (1) platted lot, Lot 15, Block 1, South Main Street Addition. The
property is currently undeveloped.
The property is located in an area which is predominately zoned R-3, with existing
single family residences and vacant lots. The properties at the northwest and
southwest corners of S. Main and West 31st Streets are zoned C-3 and C-1
respectively. There are also lots in the area which are zoned R-4 and R-5.
The City’s Future Land Use Plan designates this property as “RL” Residential Low
Density. The requested R-3 zoning does not require a plan amendment.
Staff is supportive of the requested R-3 zoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposed R-3 zoning is consistent with the future plan
designation of Residential Low Density. The adjacent properties to the north and
east are currently zoned R-3. Therefore, the proposed R-3 zoning will represent
a continuation of the established zoning pattern in this general area. Staff believes

rezoning this property to R-3 will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or the general area.

Staff recommends approval of the requested R-3 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 29, 2020)
The applicant was present. There were no persons present registered in support or

“staff recommendation” above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed
on the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff. The vote was 11 ayes,
0 nays and 0 absent.
