Commission approves conversion of long‑standing single‑family lot to mixed residential district
Summary
The commission approved a request to reclassify a long‑standing R‑5 single‑family property to RM‑5 mixed residential for an existing three‑unit structure; staff and the applicant said no increase in density is proposed.
The Zoning Commission approved a request to change zoning for a property on Algarita Drive from R‑5 (single‑family) to RM‑5 (residential mixed) to recognize an existing three‑unit configuration and allow continued use under updated zoning rules (Item 6).
Staff said the property already contains three dwelling units and that the zoning change would formalize the existing configuration without adding additional units. The applicant’s representative told the commission the owner intends to preserve the three units and noted the parcel has had those uses for decades.
No public opposition was presented in the hearing record. A motion to approve, with an amendment read at the meeting, passed on roll call. Staff and commissioners noted the change brings the property into conformity with its actual use and allows clearer permitting and maintenance of existing units.
