Staff Recommendation

APPROVE RP-1 (Planned Residential) zoning.
APPROVE a density of up to 4 dwellings per acre (Applicant requested up to 5.99 du/ac).

---

RP-1 zoning at up to 4 dwellings per acre is consistent with the surrounding development pattern which is primarily detached residential dwellings developed under R-1 zoning. The sector plan proposes low density residential uses for this site. Staff is recommending against the applicant's request for 5.99 du/ac because development at that density, and the proposed condominiums, would be out of character with existing development surrounding this site. A rezoning request was made in 1993 for the adjoining property to the northeast to rezone from R-1 to R-1A. MPC denied that request based on the argument that R-1A zoning would allow multi-dwelling units to be considered, which could negatively impact the character of this neighborhood.
