Staff Recommendation
DENY the request to increase the RP-1 (Planned Residential) density from 5 du/ac to 16 du/ac.
The property owner has reasonable use of the site under the current zoning and density. This site's current zoning is actually more intense than the surrounding properties that have access from Wilson Rd. The site is steeply sloped in the northern portion, which should be left undisturbed. If the units are appropriately clustered on the flatter portions of the site, it will result in the development appearing to be even more dense than the zoning density indicates.
Disposition Summary
DENY the request to increase the RP-1 (Planned Residential) density from 5 du/ac to 16 du/ac.
