D. LAND USE ELEMENT:
This request is located in the Otter Creek Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Single Family for this property. The applicant has applied for
a zone change from MF -6 Multifamily to R-2 Single Family for a single-
family residential subdivision.
City Recognized Neighborhood Action Plan:
The applicant's property lies in the area covered by the Otter
Creek/Crystal Valley Neighborhood Action Plan. The Residential
Development goal is supported by an objective that recommended
preservation of the residential character of the area. The plan also listed
an action statement that supports the use of land use designations to
encourage new development that is compatible with residential
development.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request before the Commission is to rezone the 2.5 acre property
along the west side of Otter Creek Parkway, south of Wimbledon Loop,
from "MF -6" Multifamily District to "R-2" Single Family District. The
property is currently undeveloped and wooded.
The property owner recently filed a preliminary plat for this property, which
proposed to subdivide the site into eight (8) lots for single family
residential development. The current zoning of the property (MF -6) does
not allow single family residences as permitted uses. Therefore, the
property owner requests to down -zone the property from MF -6 to R-2.
The Otter Creek/Crystal Valley District Land Use Plan recommends single
family for the site. The "R-2" Single Family District rezoning request
conforms to the adopted plan.
Staff is supportive of the rezoning request. The proposed R-2 zoning is
compatible with the existing single family residential along the west side of
Otter Creek Parkway.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-2 zoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (MAY 23, 2002)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented
the item and a recommendation of approval.
