STAFF ANALYSIS:
The request before the Commission is to rezone the property
from "MF -18" to "R-3." If the rezoning is granted, the
proposal is to develop a small lot, single family
subdivision. The site is currently platted into large lots
so the parcel will have to be replatted into new lots to
accommodate the proposed project. No street construction
will be required because the roads are in place, completed
as part of the existing plat.
Zoning in the area is a mix of residential and
nonresidential including "R-2," "MF -6," "MF -18," 110-2,"
"O-3," "C-1," "C-2," and "PRD." The land use pattern is
primarily residential with several substantial multi -family
developments along Pleasant Ridge Road and a major
subdivision, Pleasant Forest, located to the south. Other
single family residences are located to the north and east.
To the southeast, there is an Easter Seals facility and a
non -conforming use. Undeveloped land is also found in the
area and two large vacant tracts abut the property in
question on the north and west sides.
History on the site dates back to 1983 when the property was
rezoned to "MF -12." In 1985, an "0-3" application was filed
but after being on the agenda for several months, it was

finally withdrawn from consideration. The last rezoning
action occurred in 1986 when the site was rezoned to its
current status of "MF -18."
Staff's position --is that the proposal is compatible with the
neighborhood and supports the request. The Highway 10 Plan
identifies the site as part of a large multi -family area,
but rezoning the property under consideration for a single
family project should not alter the direction of the Plan or
impact other developments.
