Request: Special Exception and Variance* in the Restricted R-3 zoning district to allow a 2-story multi-family development to be located 45.5 ft. from the south property line of a single family dwelling district in lieu of 100 ft. from the property line of a single family dwelling district and use. *Variance was advertised, but is not needed.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff described the proposal, including the location of the property, the site plan, the history of the recently approved rezone and future land use amendment, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) criteria and the reasons for a recommendation for approval. Staff noted that no comments were received in support, and one (1) comment was received in opposition. The applicant had nothing to add and chose not to speak. One was in attendance to speak in opposition to the request, stating concerns about distance separation compatibility and potential noise impacts.
