Planning Division:
The request is in the 1-630 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 style
homes. The application is to rezone from R-3 (CUP) to PD-R.
Surrounding the application area to the west and south are single-family homes in
Residential Low Density (RL) area. North across West Capitol Avenue are
apartments in RL. To the east cross Brown Street are athletic facilities in a
Public/Institutional (PI) use area.
Master Street Plan:
West Capitol Avene is a Collector on the Master Street Plan. Collectors are
designed to connect traffic from Local Streets to Arterials or to activity centers, with
the secondary function of providing access to adjoining property. The standard
Right of way is 60'. Sidewalks are required on one side of Collectors.
Bicycle Plan:
West Capitol Avenue is on the Master Bike Plan as a Proposed Class 3 Bike Route.
Class 3 Bike Routes require no additional right-of-way, but either a sign or
pavement marking to identify and direct the route.
Historic Preservation Plan:
This property is located in the Stifft Station Historic District.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide and rezone a 0.1357 site from R-3 (CUP)
to PD-R to create two (2) separate lots. The northern parcel (Parcel 1) will take
access from W. Capitol Avenue. The southern parcel (Parcel 2) will take access
from Brown Street.
The property is zoned R-3 (CUP). The site plan shows an existing one-story,
single-family residence fronting W. Capitol Avenue, located in the northern portion
of the lot, and an existing one-story, single-family residence fronting Brown Street,
in the southern portion of the lot. Properties in the general area contain a mixture
of residential zoning and uses.
The property will be subdivided to create the following two (2) parcels:
Parcel 1 (3301 W. Capitol Avenue) will take access from an existing concrete
driveway extending from W. Capitol Avenue located to the north of the
residence. The site plan shows building setbacks of 26.1 feet from the front

property line, just over one (1) foot from the rear property line, 9.2 feet from the
west property line and a range of 4.2 from to 4.5 from the east property line.
2. Parcel 2 (510 Brown Street) will take access from an existing concrete driveway
extending from Brown Street located to the east of the residence. The site plan
shows building setbacks of 11.1 feet from the north property line, over eight (8)
feet from the south property line, a range of 5.3 to 5.6 from the west property
line and a range of 11.6 to 16.9 from the east property line.
Staff is supportive of the proposed PD-R rezoning. To the staff's knowledge, there
are no outstanding issues related to this request. The applicant has addressed
issues raised by staff during staff's review of the re -plat. Surrounding properties
contain a mixture of single-family, two-family (duplex) and higher density
residential zoning in the general area. There should be no increase existing traffic
typical in the area. Staff feels the subdividing of this property should have no
adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed PD-R zoning, as filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
