Board reviews multiple Ward 1 rezoning proposals for townhomes and small single-family lots
Summary
Planning staff presented several Ward 1 rezoning requests — including Z8987-A for two attached homes, Z10283 for 18 townhomes, and Z10304 for two single-family residences — citing staff recommendations and Planning Commission votes; board members asked about parking, unit counts and neighborhood outreach.
Planning staff presented a cluster of planning and consent items for Ward 1 at the July 14 meeting, describing several rezoning and replat requests and answering board questions about unit counts, parking and sidewalks.
Key items: Z8987-A was described as a request to rezone roughly 0.16 acre from R-4 to PDR to permit two attached single-family residences (townhome-style); Planning Commission recommended approval. Z10283 is a 1.2-acre rezoning from R-4 to PDR to allow a development of 18 townhomes arranged as 2 three-unit buildings and 3 four-unit buildings; Planning Commission vote recorded as 10-1-1 and staff recommended approval. Z10304 is a 0.10-acre rezoning to allow two single-family residences with off-street parking and required setbacks.
Board members pressed on details: Director Miller and others asked how many bedrooms and parking capacity would be provided; staff replied that units are small (roughly 741 square feet for some projects and about 800 square feet for others) with single-car garages and driveway parking and that sidewalk requirements are enforced. Planning staff said some applications were deferred earlier to address neighborhood concerns and that outreach occurred before Planning Commission hearings.
What's next: These items remain on the consent or planning agenda for formal consideration. Planning staff said site plans and staff reports document setbacks, lot sizes and parking requirements.
