The proposed preliminary plat will require variances from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the lots to develop with a reduced lot width, reduced lot depth, reduced lot area and a reduced front building line. FISCAL IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested variances. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the requested variances, as recommended by Staff, by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. CITIZEN The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed variance PARTICIPATION requests at its June 3, 2004 meeting. There were no registered objectors present. All property owners within 200 feet of the site, all residents within 300 feet, who could be identified, the MacArthur Neighborhood Association, the Downtown Neighborhood Association and the East of Broadway Neighborhood Association were notified of the Public Hearing. BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting the rezoning of the site from R-4A, Low Density Residential District to PD-R (File No. Z-7632) to allow the creation of a two -lot plat for the site. BACKGROUND CONTINUED Currently there is a four-story, four -unit brick apartment building and an uninhabitable frame house located on the site. The applicant intends to split the lot into two separate lots to allow the frame house and apartment building to exist on separate parcels. The further intent is to renovate the single-family dwelling to allow the unit to become functional once again. The proposed preliminary plat will require variances from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the lots to develop with less than minimum typical standards. The indicated lots do not meet the typical minimum lot width, typical minimum lot depth, typical minimum lot area and the request includes a reduced front building line for each of the proposed lots. The site is currently zoned R-4A, Low Density Residential District which allows for one and two family residences as permitted uses. The typical average lot size for a newly created lot in this district is 5,000 square feet and the lots are to be fifty feet in width by one hundred feet in depth. The applicant has indicated Lot 1 with fifty feet in width by ninety-five feet in depth. The proposed lot area is 4,750 square feet. Proposed Lot 2 is forty-five feet in width and fifty feet in depth or 2,250 square feet. The front building line for Lot 1 is six feet six inches and the proposed front building line for Lot 2 is five feet six inches. The typical front building line for a lot zoned R4A is fifteen feet. Staff is supportive of the proposed request. The proposed development is located in the MacArthur Park Historic District. The applicant has indicated he will work closely with the design review committee of the Historic District to create a design compatible with the area. The existing zoning is intended to be an urban low to moderate density residential area, where an occasional non-residential use adds to the overall character of the neighborhood. The applicant's request is to allow the creation of two lots to function as residential uses. The existing four-plex located on the site will continue to function as a multi -family building and the existing dilapidated single-family structure will be rehabbed and put back in service as a single-family home which staff feels is a positive for the area. 2 BACKGROUND I Please see the attached Planning Commission minute CONTINUED record and site plan for the development proposal and the recommendation. applicant's specific staff analysis and 3 ORDINANCE NO.
