By: Blake Buffington Location: 7310 and 7316 Indiana Street Request: Rezone from "R-2" Single Family to "R-4' Two Family Purpose: Two Family Residences Size: 15,00 square feet Existing Use: Vacant SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" South - Single Family, Zoned "R-2" East - Duplex, Zoned "R-2" West - Single Family, Zoned "R-4" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The two lots in question are located on Indiana Street one block east of Mississippi. The neighborhood has been substantially impacted by previous rezoning actions which include "R-4," "R-5" and "PRD." To the east of the property, there is a large "R-5" tract, and it abuts an "R-4" parcel on the west. Most of the block on the south side of Indiana is zoned "R-4. So this proposal is compatible with the zoning pattern_ currently found in the neighborhood. 2. The site is vacant and wooded. The high point is on the west side and slopes down to the east. 3. Indiana Street is just a residential street with the existing right-of-way being only 30 feet. The Master Street Plan requires 50 feet of right-of-way for residential streets, so it appears that some dedication will be necessary. (The City's Engineering staff will make the final determination.) 4. There have been no adverse comments received from the reviewing agencies at this time. September 25, 1984 Item No. 9 - Continued 5. There are no legal issues. 6. There is no documented neighborhood position on this site. 7. Because of the existing zoning in the neighborhood, staff feels that the request is reasonable and supports the rezoning. There is no plan for this area, but it appears that the future development scheme will be low to medium density multifamily. The existing single family especially along Indiana and Ohio has been heavily impacted by what has occurred, and because of that, it is losing its desirability as a single family neighborhood. This is, primarily west of Mississippi and north of Indiana. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request as filed. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Blake Buffington, was present. There were no objectors present, but staff informed the Commission that letters and a petition opposing the request had been submitted prior to the hearing. The petition contained 11 signatures. Mr. Buffington discussed the proposal for the site and said that he had no problems with the dedication of additional right-of-way for Indiana Street. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the request as filed. The vote - 8 ayes, 2 noes and 1 absent. September 25, 1984 Item No. 9 - Z-4322 Owner: Etta A.
