STAFF ANALYSIS•
In 1984, the lots in question were rezoned to MF -18 and MF -6
as part of a large zoning action that involved close to 200
acres. There are a total of 9 lots along this portion of
Dover Drive, and they are platted for single-family
development. Seven of the lots are vacant, as are the MF -12
and MF -18 areas to the north. Dover Drive is an improved
street with a 60 foot right-of-way and terminates at the
northernmost lot under consideration.
The owner now feels that detached single-family units are
the best use for the lot and that is how they are being
marketed. Two of the lots along Dover were rezoned to R-2
in 1990 to permit the construction of a single-family
residence. The house has been completed and is occupied.
Zoning in the general vicinity is R-2, MF -12, MF -18, PCD,
and OS. The land use is primarily single-family, with a
significant percentage of the land undeveloped. Other uses
found in the immediate area are a church and a facility for
United Cerebral Palsy.

ITEM NO.: I Z -4175-D (Cont.)
Staff views single-family development as being more
realistic for the lots and supports the R-2
reclassification. The I-430 District Plan reflects the
existing zoning and shows the lots for multi -family use. It
is the staff's position that the R-2 zoning will not alter
the basic direction of the plan, and the inconsistency
between the zoning action and the plan is an insignificant
issue.
(All the lots need to be final platted prior to any sales
taking place.)
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
None reported.
