Staff Comments:
This request is for a more flexible single family zoning district. The R-IA zone
allows greater flexibility in lot layout and design and allows a reduced rear:
setback for living areas. This zone also allows a slightly greater density than
R-~1 (10 dwelling units per acre versus 8 units per acre}.:The property as
platted on the preliminary plat indicates 3 dwelling units per acre. The phase of
Emerald Forest adjacent to the south across the creek is currently zoned: R-1~.
'~ This request is in compliance with the Gity's Land tJse Plan which shows low
~~ ,__ ~a~l density residential in thin area.,
