FILE NO.: Z-9756 The property is located within a single-family residential neighborhood which contains a variety of housing types and sizes. The site is currently undeveloped and mostly grass covered. The applicant proposes to construct one (1) duplex structure centered on two existing platted lots. The duplex structure will have one unit facing South Izard Street and the second unit facing West Short 32nd Street. The duplex structure will be located 27 feet back from the front and rear (north and south) property lines and 7.5 feet back from the side property lines. All proposed setbacks will conform with Section 36-255 (R-3 zoning standards) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The building height will not exceed 35 feet. The applicant is proposing a paved drive to be located within the front yard area of each unit connecting to Izard Street to the west and West Short 32nd Street to the South. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of three (3) parking spaces for the duplex. The parking as proposed will be sufficient to serve the development. To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this application. Staff believes the proposed duplex structure located at 819 West 32nd Street is an appropriate use for this property. The duplex structure will comply with the original platted density for this property (2 residential units on 2 platted lots). The proposed duplex structure will not be out of character with the general area. Other duplex structures are located throughout the neighborhood. Staff believes the proposed duplex will have no adverse impact on the neighborhood or surrounding uses. The applicant is requesting no variances with the proposed development. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in the staff analysis, in the agenda staff report.
