New duplex structures and single family residences are located to the east, along the west side of Wilson Road. 7 FILE NO.: Z-9134 (Cont. The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Residential Low Density (RL). The requested R-4 zoning does not require an amendment to the plan. Staff is supportive of the requested R-4 rezoning. Staff views the request as reasonable. The property 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. Staff recently conducted a survey of this neighborhood, between West 16th Street and West 24th Street, and Aldersgate Road to Junior Deputy Road. The survey counted the total number of residential lots within this area, and how many of the total residential lots are zoned R-4. Staff found that there are 368 total residential lots within this area, and that 23 are zoned R-4. This represents R-4 zoning on a total of 6.25 percent of the overall residential lots within this neighborhood. The two (2) lots proposed for R-4 zoning would raise this ratio to 6.79 percent. Staff feels that his represents a very minimal percentage of the overall residential area. 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. F.
