TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL JV
FROM: Planning Commission
SUBJECT: Code Amendment No. 68-6 Allowing flexibility in
residential districts.
ATTENTION: Doyle Miller, City Administrator
Paul Jones, City :Clerk
Gentlemen:
At your request, the Planning Commission reconsidered Code
Amendment No. 68-6 for the purpose of establishing an intent
for the proposed amendment.
It was noted by the Commission that the Master Plan of Land
Use allows R2 and R3 zoning in areas designated for medium
density development, but there is no distinction as whether
an area should be zoned R2 or R3. It was also noted that the
R2 zone allows 14 dwelling units per acre of land and the
R3 zone allows 34 dwelling units per acre, causing a consider-
able difference in density between R2 and R3.
In view of this, the Commission instructed the Staff to re-
evaluate the Master Plan of Land Use'to determine where
variable densities could apply in order to provide a better
transition between the R2 and R3 zones. It was, however,
the consensus of the Commission that the area outlined in
Zone Case No. 68-9 is an area which should be developed to
R2 standards but due to its location, an increased density should
be permitted.
Respectfully submitted,
K. A. Reynolds
Secretary, Planning Commission
