The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion The applicant spoke in favor of the request, reviewing his requested rezoning from R-1 to R-2 to allow construction of two duplexes on two vacant lots he owns along Inwood Avenue. Staff reviewed the staff report, noting the location of the property, surrounding zoning and land use. Staff noted that four single-family homes could be built under the current R-1 zoning. Staff noted that three duplexes could be built for a total of six units, an increase of two, if rezoned to R-2. Staff reviewed the parking standards for R-1 and R-2 zoning, that the existing streets are substandard in terms of paving width, and that there are no curb and gutter or sidewalks. Staff noted the lots can be served by City water and sanitary sewer. There were several public comments in opposition to the request with residents indicating that the streets are too narrow to support additional traffic, the duplexes would create additional storm water runoff, and that the area is zoned for single-family homes and should not be changed. The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and reviewed setback requirements, if there was a trigger for street improvements, parking requirements for duplexes, the potential impact of duplexes on existing street system, and if the requested rezoning represented a spot zoning. Commissioners discussed the potential number of duplexes and that similar requests have been recommended for approval by the Commission in the past. Seroice�� People �� Integity � Responsibility�� Innovatlon Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 1, with one abstention, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

The property was annexed to the City in 1979 and the subject lots have remained vacant since that time. Physical Characteristics: The subject property consists of two 10,000 square foot parcels with 200 feet of frontage along Inwood Avenue and with a platted but unimproved alley behind. The property is sloped dropping approximately 36 feet in elevation from the north side property line to the south side property line. Inwood Avenue is a substandard street with a 50-foot-wide platted right-of-way and approximately 20 feet of pavement with no curb, gutter, shoulders or sidewalks. Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill and mixed-use residential development and recommend buffering non-compatible uses from each other. The City's 2030 Future Land Use Plan identifies this area as residential. Impact of Request on: Utilities: City water is available to the site along the Inwood Avenue frontage and there are hydrants both north and south of the subject property. The water main is adequate to serve the proposed development. City sanitary sewer service is available to this site both north and south of the subject lots. Depending on which sanitary sewer is tapped, a pump and force main may be necessary. Rezoning Staff Report — 3900 Block of Inwood Avenue Page 2 Traffic Patterns/Counts: There are no traffic counts available for Inwood Avenue or the streets accessing the neighborhood. There are 10 houses along inwood Avenue and development of the subject property should add very little traffic to Inwood Avenue or the surrounding streets. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment as single or two-family development will create little additional impermeable area and storm water will sheet flow through the subject lots into a depression on the platted but unimproved Toledo Street right-of-way. Adjacent Properties: If the subject lots are further subdivided, three duplexes, for a total of six units could be built on the property. Under current R-1 Single-Family zoning regulations four houses could be built on the subject lots. if approved, the net gain to the 20,000-square foot lot area would be two units. The R-2 regulations require similar setbacks, maximum building height and number of off-street parking spaces per unit. Therefore, if the property were to be fully developed under R-2 regulations, there should be little additional impact on the neighborhood. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single-Family Residential district to R-2 Two-Family Residential district. The property consists of two, 10,000 square feet each, parcels with frontage along Inwood Avenue and an alley behind. Inwood Avenue is a substandard street with a 50-foot-wide platted right-of-way and approximately 20 feet of pavement with no curb, gutter, shoulders or sidewalks. The property is sloped dropping approximately 36 feet in elevation from the north side property line to the south side property line. Either single or two-family development will create little additional impermeable area and storm water will sheet flow through the subject lots into a depression on the platted but unimproved Toledo Street right-of-way. The neighborhood is characterized primarily by single-family homes on large lots. If the subject lots are further subdivided, three duplexes, for a total of six units could be built on the property. Under current R-1 Single-Family zoning regulations four houses could be built on the subject lots. If the rezoning is approved, the potential net gain to would be two additional residential units. The R-2 regulations require similar setbacks, maximum building height and number of off-street parking spaces per unit as the R-1 regulations. Development of the subject property for duplexes should generate little additional vehicular traffic. Therefore, if the property were to be fully developed under R-2 regulations, there should be little additional impact on the neighborhood. . Rezoning Staff Report — 3900 Block of Inwood Avenue Page 3 Staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Section 6-1.1 of I the Zoning Ordinance regarding granting a rezoning.

Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Seroices Manager "��'� SUBJECT: Percent Opposition to Rezoning, 3900 Block of Inwood Avenue DATE: November 20, 2017 On November 20, 2017, the City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed rezoning requested by Brandon Merrick in the 3900 Block of Inwood Avenue (Parcel numbers 10-12-181-002 & 003) from R-1 Single-Family Residential District to R- 2 Two-Family Residential District. By a vote of 5 to 1 with one abstention the Zoning Advisory Commission recommended approval of the request to rezone the property at their November 1, 2017 meeting. Planning Services staff has reviewed a petition submitted to the City Clerk's Office by neighboring property owners opposed to the rezoning request. The City's Unified Development Code Section 16-9-5-3 C. states that when a written protest against the rezoning request is filed with the City Clerk and signed by the owners of 20% or more of the property which is located within 200 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property being considered for rezoning, the favorable vote of at least three-fourths (3/a) of the City Council is needed for approval. Property owned by the City or located in the public right of way is not considered in the 20% calculation. The area of the property owned by persons opposed to the Inwood Avenue rezoning request equals 43.4% of the private property within 200 feet of the subject lot. Therefore, a super-majority vote of the City Council is needed to approve the request. Enclosed is a map indicating the owners of property within 200 feet of the subject property opposed to the rezoning. This memo is provided for your information and for distribution to the City Council.
