<br />Applicable Regulations <br />Multiple family uses within an R3 zoning district must comply with the following standards. <br /> <br />Parking <br />Resident parking shall be provided at one space per bedroom and guest parking shall be ½ parking <br />spaces per unit and shall be provided in an off-street parking lot or private drive. The applicant stated <br />Unit #1 has three bedrooms, Unit #2 has one bedroom, and Unit #3 has three bedrooms. The required <br />amount of parking for this proposed multi-family residence would be 9.5 (10) stalls. The subject <br />property, in its existing state, appears to be able to park four vehicles (2 in the garage and 2 on the <br />driveway). <br /> <br />Garages <br />Each dwelling unit shall include an attached garage that is a minimum of 22-feet wide. The existing <br />single-family residence has only one attached garage. <br /> <br />Building Design and Construction Standards <br />The existing single-family residence does not appear to meet the requirements of the R3 design <br />standards. <br /> <br />The R3 district is intended to function as a transition between the less intense single-family district and <br />the more intense multi-family districts. The subject property does not accomplish this. If this property <br />were to be re-zoned, it would only be a .55-acre parcel of land zoned R3 surrounded by a large area of <br />properties zoned R1-c. <br /> <br />Spot zoning is always a consideration when looking at a small rezoning application. Standards define <br />spot zoning as “the process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification totally different <br />from that of the surrounding area for the benefit of the owner of such property and to the detriment of <br />other owners.” This request is different from the surrounding area and only benefits the property owner. <br /> <br />In the review of the standards for a Zone Change as outlined, it appears that the request is not consistent <br />with the standards. This structure, as well as the site, does not support a multiple family zoning use. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Statutory Review Period <br />Per State Statute §15.99, the required 60-day review period ends on January 31, 2020. <br /> <br />Council Meeting <br />If acted on, this item will go to January 21, 2020, City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Location Map <br /> Applicant’s Narrative <br /> Aerial and Site Photos <br />
