Projection

- Buffer Requirements
- 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.
