Body
ISSUE: Joshua W. Hall is requesting a rezoning from R-15 to R-15-Conditional for the development of five (5) new single-family homes at a density of 2.27 units per acre.

The applicant was able to modify the site plan to provide 15,000 sq. ft. lots and subsequently amended the rezoning application to request a zoning change from R-15 to R-15-Conditional. The amendment to the application addressed the citizens concerns with respect to the use of the RAD zoning deignation.
