Comprehensive Plan.

497 students (capacity: 688). Middle School age students would attend Richard
Middle School (6-8), which has 754 students (capacity: 768). High school age
students would attend Carver High School, which has 930 students (capacity:

- 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.
