Public Hearing - Zoning Request Z17-018 - Rezoning from FC to RAD-Conditional for the development of two single-family homes - 0.446 Acres - Land Lot 452 - 990 Dell Avenue - Kimberly Norwood Properties, LLC.
Body
ISSUE: Kimberly Norwood properties, LLC is requesting the rezoning of 990 Dell Avenue from Future Commercial (FC) to RAD-Conditional for the development of two new single-family homes at a density of 4.48 units per acre. The existing home on the property and two new homes will be built fronting on Dell Avenue. The submitted elevations reflect a more traditional style home with a mixture of exterior façade materials and architectural elements. The design of both homes will enhance the architectural standards of the general neighborhood.
