Projection
94 (+ existing 24) Multi-Family Units: 118 x 6% = 7 students
Buffer Requiremnts
The proposed development shall meet the buffer requirements for Master Planned
Developments as defined in the UDO. PUDs have Perimeter Buffers that are as
follows:
1) 50 feet front buffer
2) 100 feet side buffer (abutting residential FLU)
3) 50 feet rear buffer (abutting nonresidential FLU)
Attitude of Property Owners: Nine (9) property owners within 300 feet of the subject
properties were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning Department has
not received any comments in regards to this case.
Additional Information: The purpose of this rezoning request is to create a multiple unit,
single family atmosphere on a common property. Hence, to the naked eye, the
development will look like a single family residential development but will
actually be a multi-family product because each unit will sit on the same piece
of property and tenants will lease and not purchase the unit.
