The proposed development shall not be required to have a buffer adjoining to
RMF2 (Residential Multi Family 2) zoned properties.
Attitude of Property Owners: Fifty-one (51) property owners were notified of the
request. The Planning Department has not received any phone calls in
opposition.
Additional Information: The request for RMF1 (Residential Multi Family 1) zoning is
compatible with existing zoning in the immediate vicinity as oppose to SFR4
(Single Family Residential 4 zoning). Allowing SFR4 zoning into on this
property will disrupt the continuity of the zoning for the area. The 2028
Comprehensive Plan recommends single-family residential development for the
subject property therefore the request is consistent with the plan.
