STAFF_ANALYSI$
In 1992, a conditional use permit was approved for the
placement of a multisectional manufactured home at
2924 Longcoy. The owner has now decided that she needs to
scale down the size of the unit and would like to place a
single -wide mobile home on the property. To allow a 16 X 80
foot unit, the site must be reclassified to R -7A, which is
also a site plan review district. Therefore, the Commission
must also approve a site plan for the property.
zoning in the general area is R-3, MF -24, C-1 and C-3. The
land use is primarily single family residences or vacant
lots. There are two nonconforming uses at West 28th and
John Barrow Road.
Staff feels that rezoning the location to R -7A for the
proposed unit is appropriate and supports the request. The
reclassification should not have any effect on the nearby
properties and the new mobile home will replace a
substandard dwelling unit. Staff also endorses the
submitted site plan for the lot.
(The applicant/owner has requested a waiver of the filing
fee and the mailed notice requirement. Staff feels that the
waivers are reasonable and supports them.)
