The request is in the 1-630 Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Residential
Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The Residential Low Density (RL)
category provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling
units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by
conventional single family homes but may also include patio or garden homes and
cluster homes, provided that the density remains less than 6 units per acre. The
application is to rezone from R-3 (Single Family District) to PD-O (Planned
Development - Office). This is for a proposed after -school tutoring program.
Surrounding the application area to the west, north, and east is Residential Low
Density (RL) with single-family homes. To the south is Park/Open Space (PK/OS)
which is Curran Conway Park.
