F. ISSUES/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
planning Di'v'ision:
The site is in the Central City District and shown as Single
Family use on the Plan. The existing zoning pattern is
already more intensive than the existing plan. Currently, a
neighborhood action plan is being developed which covers
this area. The request does not conform to the Land Use
Plan, however with limited rear parking and no signage the
dwellings could embody the character of the neighborhood.
Landscape Issues:
A 6 foot high opaque screen, either a wood fence with its
face side directed outward or dense evergreen plantings are
required along the northern and southern perimeters of this

site to help screen the parking area from adjacent single
family and two family uses.
G. ANALYSIS•
The conversion of the existing duplex to a boarding house
will be for a maximum of fourteen (14) residents. The
applicant needs to be aware that any future expansion of the
structure or density will require additional planning
commission approval.
The applicant has indicated that none of the residents of
the boarding house will drive. Therefore, there will be a
minimal amount of parking.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to PRD subject to
the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the conditions noted in paragraphs D, E
and F.
2. The rezoning of the property will run with Raymond
Rodgers, property owner. If Mr. Rodgers sells the
property, the zoning of the property will revert to R-4.
This will be conditioned within the ordinance.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
Raymond Rodgers was present, representing the application. Staff
gave a brief description of the proposal.
Mr. Rodgers addressed the Public Works Comment, indicating that
no new construction was planned. He also stated that no parking
was needed on the site due to the fact that none of the residents
will drive. Mr. Rodgers indicated that he had no problem with
the rezoning of the property running with him as owner.
After a brief discussion, the Committee accepted the presentation
and forwarded the issue to the full Commission for resolution.
