There is one (1) undeveloped C-3 zoned lot to the east of the site on Brown Street. The remainder of the properties contain R-3 zoning and uses in all directions. The site plan shows an existing 2,086 square foot duplex structure located in the south portion of the property and a 1,386 square foot single-family residence located in the north portion of the property. The applicant notes no additions or changes to the existing footprint of the two (2) structures will be made and the only reason for this application is to recognize the historical use of the property as conforming and legal.
