Mr. Barnhart discussed the land use and zoning of surrounding properties, and explained the difference between the R3 and R4 designations. He noted that if the rezoning is approved, the land use could be amended at the time the property is platted. Mr. Barnhart reviewed comments in two letters received by staff, opposing the proposed change. These comments related to increased traffic, lack of parks, and property values. He stated that staff did not feel there would be a significant impact on traffic whether there were two units or eight units. He noted that the applicant will be paying park dedication which is used for enhancing existing parks or acquiring additional park land throughout the City. He noted that if the rezoning is approved, staff would work with the applicant to address the building type and elevations.
