Staff is supportive of the requested R-4 rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The lot is comprised of one (1) platted single family lot. One (1)
duplex structure 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 22nd 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 one (1) new duplex 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.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested R-4 rezoning.
