Question Title

* 1. Whether a proposed rezoning will permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

The site is surrounded by single-family residential subdivisions. No townhouse communities are located nearby. Therefore, the development is not suitable given the surrounding area and existing residential developments.

The proposed rezoning will permit a use that is suitable. Nearby and adjacent properties are residential.

Question Title

* 2. Whether a proposed rezoning will adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

The existing use and usability of adjacent or nearby properties would be adversely affected by the zoning change. Nearby properties are developed with single-family subdivisions at a lower density than the proposed development.

The proposed rezoning will not adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby properties. The size and location of the site make it most suitable for a small residential development such as the proposed development.

Question Title

* 3. Whether the property to be affected by a proposed rezoning has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

The property has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned.

The property is currently zoned R100. It would possibly have an economic use as such, however, rezoning to RTH would be a higher economic use

Question Title

* 4. Whether the proposed rezoning will result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

An increase in impacts on public facilities is anticipated in the form of traffic, utility demand, and stormwater runoff. However, these impacts would be mitigated with appropriate conditions, site development requirements, and planning. An increased impact is anticipated on school enrollment. Agency review comments concerning any potential improvements related to this request <is attached to the county's response in the agenda package for 8/3>.

The development will add 43 units to the area. This will not result in an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools. The applicant will work closely with all county departments in order to develop in compliance with all standards.

Question Title

* 5. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conformity with the policy and intent of the Unified Plan and Future Development Map.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

The proposed rezoning is in conformity with the policy and intent of the land use plan.

The 2040 Unified Plan Future Development Map indicates that the subject property lies within the Established Neighborhoods Character Area. This designation is intended for well-established neighborhoods and single-family residential areas that are unlikely to undergo any significant changes in the next 20 years. The introduction of a townhouse development, as proposed by the applicant, would not be appropriate within this Character Area.

Question Title

* 6. Whether there are other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property which give supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the proposed rezoning.

Please click just one below. If you choose more than one, your answers won't be counted.

The surrounding area has experienced minimal growth in recent years. A majority of nearby residences were developed more than 20 years ago, with the exception of two nearby small single-family subdivisions developed within the last 10 years. No townhouses are located nearby. Therefore, the proposed rezoning would not be suitable based on existing and changing conditions.

This applicant is not aware of any other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property.

Question Title

* 7. Waiver Request Analysis: When considering waivers from Title III of the UDO, staff is required to review whether an undue hardship may result from strict compliance with the regulations and that approval would not adversely affect the general public welfare or nullify the intent of the Development Regulations. In addition, there must be a determination that there are unusual topographical or other exceptional conditions.

The eastern property line is adjacent to R-100 zoned properties. The applicant is proposing a 35- foot-wide graded and replanted buffer in lieu of the required 35-foot-wide undisturbed buffer. Reducing the buffers would adversely affect the general public welfare or nullify the intent of the Development Regulations.
