Shackleford Road and West 36th Street, is NO.: Z-8957 (Cont. requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District and MF-24" Multifamily District. The rezoning is proposed to allow future multifamily development. The property is currently undeveloped and tree -covered. The property has varying degrees of slope. A creek runs along the property's south property line. The property is in an area of mixed uses and zoning. A multifamily development (zoned MF-12), a small commercial use and undeveloped 0-3 zoned property are located across West 36th Street to the north. A large mobile home park is located on the R-2 zoned property to the south. Undeveloped R-2 zoned property and a single family residence on a large tract are located to the west across S.

The requested MF-24 rezoning does not require an amendment to the plan. Although the City's Future Land Use Plan designates the property as RH, staff does not support the requested MF-24 zoning. Staff feels that MF-24 is too dense of a multifamily zoning for this general area. The zoning pattern in this area contains a lower density of multifamily zoning and use. There is an MF-12 zoned multifamily development to the north across West 36th Street. Undeveloped MF-18 zoned property is located on the west side of S. Shackleford Road, a short distance to the south. Additionally, the mobile home park to the south contains a density in the range of 12 units per acre. Staff could support MF-18 zoning for this property. Staff believes MF-18 density is a better option for this general area, while maintaining the RH Land Use Plan designation. F.
