Staff is supportive of the requested R-4 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The lot is comprised of two (2) platted single family lots. Two (2)
duplex structures will only be a minor increase in the original platted density. New
duplex structures have been recently developed within this neighborhood, at the
northeast corner of Wilson Road and West 22Rd Street, south along the west side
of Wilson Road, and along West 20th Street (at Nichols and Jr. Deputy Roads).
Staff believes the applicant's plan to construct two (2) new duplexes will be a
quality, in -fill type, development for this general area south of West 18th Street.
Staff believes rezoning this property to R-4 will have no adverse impact on the
adjacent properties or the general area.

Staff recommends approval of the requested R-4 rezoning.
