Planning Division: The request is in the Central City Planning District. The Land
Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The
Residential Low Density (RL) 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 R-3 (Residential Single -Family
District) to PRD (Planned Residential Development) District to allow the creation
of five lots (each less than a tenth of an acre) on site. The resulting density if each
parcel has one house would be over 10 units per acre.
The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) in all directions from the
site. The Residential Low Density (RL) 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

FILE NO.: Z-9551 Cont.
less than 6 units per acre. An existing single-family subdivision is in this area with
homes and vacant lots.
Master Street Plan: To the south is 10th Street and to the east is Park 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.
G. ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes to rezone the 0.34 acre property located at the northwest
corner of West loth Street and Park Street from "R-3" Single Family District to
"PRD" Planned Residential District. The rezoning is proposed to allow for the
construction of five (5) single family residences. The property currently contains
one (1) unoccupied structure which will be removed from the site. The property is
comprised of the east 100 feet of Lots 7, 8 and 9, Block 10, Capitol Hill Extension
Addition.
The applicant proposes to replat the property into the five (5) lots. Lots 9A through
9D will be between 26.71 and 26.98 feet wide and 100 feet deep. Lot 9E be 43.30
feet wide by 100 feet deep. A 1,300 square foot building area is shown for Lots
9A through 9D, with a 1,900 square foot building area proposed for Lot 9E. The
proposed building setbacks are as follows:
Front — 15 feet
Rear — 20 feet
Sides — 3 feet (Lots 9A — 9D)
3.5 feet/l0 feet (Lot 9E)
The applicant notes that the heights of the proposed residences will not exceed
30 feet. Section 36-255 (c) of the City's Zoning Ordinance allows a typical
maximum building height of 35 feet.
The applicant also notes that the exteriors of the residences will be metal, vinyl
board and batten, brick and/or Hardie board, with asphalt shingles. The pitch of
the roofs will be no less than a 10/12 pitch.
The lots will have rear access by way of a driveway from West 10th Street. The
driveway will be located within a 20 foot wide shared access easement. Each
residence will have either a carport or garage at the rear of each structure. The
applicant notes that there will be no accessory structures on any of the lots.

FILE NO.: Z-9551(Cont.)
The applicant provided responses and additional information to issues raised
during staffs review of the application. To staffs knowledge, there are two (2)
outstanding issues associated with this application as follows:
1. Staff believes that Lots 9A — 9D are too narrow and that the total number of lots
should be reduced to four (4), with lot widths being increased to 37 to 38 feet.
2. Staff believes that a "no access" easement along the front (east) property line
of all lots should be part of the replat to prohibit multiple driveways from Park
Street.
Staff is not supportive of the requested PRD rezoning to allow for the construction
of five (5) single family residences, based on the issues noted above. Staff
believes that the project is too dense, with lot widths of less than 30 feet. Staff
could support a four (4) lot development with increased lot widths, and a
commitment to having no driveways from Park Street. Staff will continue to work
with the applicant in an effort to resolve these issues.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the requested PRD rezoning, as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 14, 2021)
The applicant was not present. There were no persons registered in attendance. Staff
informed the Commission that the applicant failed to send required notifications to
surrounding property owners. Therefore, staff recommended the application be deferred
to the February 11, 2021 Planning Commission Agenda. There was no further
discussion. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and deferred as recommended
by staff. The vote was 11 ayes, 0 nays and 0 absent.
STAFF UPDATE:
The applicant has revised the application to provide a minimum lot width of 30 feet for all
of the proposed lots. The applicant has also provided a "no access" easement along the
Park Street frontage. These revisions satisfy staffs concerns, and staff will now
recommend approval. Staff believes the proposed PRD zoning to allow five (5) single
family residences on smaller lots will have no adverse impact on the surrounding
properties or the general area.
REVISED STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the PRD application as revised by the applicant, subject
to the following conditions:
FILE NO.: Z-9551(Cont.)
1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs C and D, and
the staff analysis, in the agenda staff report.
2. The minimum lot widths for the development will be 30 feet.
3. No driveways will be allowed along the Park Street (east) frontage.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MARCH 11, 2021)
The applicant was present. There were no persons present registered in support or
opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the
"staff recommendation" above. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on
the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff, including all staff comments
and conditions. The vote was 11 ayes, 0 nays and 0 absent.
