STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Planning Commission is to rezone a
22 acre tract on Highway 10 from R-2 to MF-12. The site is
situated north and west of where Sam Peck Road intersects
Highway 10. The property is vacant and wooded.
Zoning in the area is R-2, MF-12, 0-2 and AF, with the
property abutting R-2 land on three sides. Land use
includes single family, multifamily, a YMCA facility, tennis
and athletic club, office, cemetery and a small church. To
the north and west is River Mountain Park, and throughout
the area there are undeveloped parcels.
In 1985, a PRD was approved for the site for a total 264
units or a density of approximately 12 units per acre. An
extension of time was requested in October of 1986 and
granted, however, no final plan was ever submitted.
Therefore, the PRD has expired and property is zoned R-2.
The adopted plan for the area, River Mountain, identifies
the property for multifamily use. The plan suggests a
density of 12 to 18 units per acre as being an appropriate
density level for the multifamily designation. Therefore,

the MF-12 rezoning conforms to the plan's recommended land
use pattern and the proposed reclassification is not an
issue.
