Background/Staff Comments
This site is vacant and zoned for the Agricultural (AG) District. The proposed zoning is Specific Development 0.56, which allows for 20 units on the 35.74 acre site.
The purposes of the Specific Development-Residential (SD-R) District, are to:
(a) Allow for unique development projects that cannot be accommodated by any other zoning district;
(b) Provide for a variety of densities and housing types, including detached and attached residential dwellings;
(c) Protect environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplains and steep slopes;
(d) Provide for compact development to protect open spaces; and
(e) Provide conditions and standards to help ensure the compatibility of new development with surrounding neighborhoods
The existing portions of Rizer Point are zoned SD-R 2.64. Wedgewood Place is zoned R-3. Rebel Meadows is zoned R-2. The proposed zoning of SD-R 0.57 is compatible with the adjacent zoning districts.
