The request is in the Burlingame Valley 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-2 to R-4. The purpose is for Duplexes.
Surrounding the application area are single-family uses to the west. North and
east of the site area undeveloped wooded tracts. To the south is a Pulaski County
Sheriff substation.
This site is not located in an Overlay District.

The property is comprised of two (2) lots. A one-story single family residence is
located on each lot. The property is located just inside the City’s Extraterritorial
Zoning Jurisdiction. The property immediately to the east is zoned AF, with all
other adjacent properties being zoned R-2.
The City’s Future Land Use Plan designates this property as “RL” Residential Low
Density. The requested R-4 rezoning does not require an amendment to the future
land use plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested R-4 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The property is comprised of almost one (1) acre. The proposed R-
4 zoning will represent a residential density of approximately 4 units per acre,
which is within the allowed density of the City’s Future Land Use designation of
“RL” Residential Low Density.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-4 rezoning.
