The petitioner wants to construct a duplex on the parcel. The property had previously been used as a rental property with a single family residence and a single-section mobile home. Both residences are currently vacant. The petitioner wants to remove the mobile home and demolish the residence, stated Mr. Neil. The intent is to build a two family duplex on the property. The current zoning of SF-10 prohibits multi-family uses. Mr. Neil stated the area has been changing from single-family to multi-family since 1975. At that time, the property to the west containing Villa View Condominiums changed to MF-M, Multi-Family Medium Density. In 1977 the property to the east changed to MF-L, Multi-Family Low Density. In 1997 the property to the north changed to MF-L as well. The property has a 2,500 square foot building footprint with the setbacks that are required, explained Mr. Neil. The property can only have two units. Mr. Neil stated the zone change request is consistent with Farmington’s Comprehensive Plan in regards to establishing affordable housing. It is consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The proposed use will provide the same impacts as currently exist with the two residences on site. There will be no adverse effects and it will not be a spot zone. Staff recommends approval as appropriate. Rocky Bridges of 4901 Holmes Drive stated the area has been used for Multi Family for years. Mr. Bridges wants to clean up the property. Planning & Zoning Commission Action of Petition ZC 16-41 on June 30, 2016 A motion was made by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Brown to approve Petition ZC 16-41, a request from Tamrock Investments, LLC, represented by Rocky Bridges, for a Zone Change from SF-10 Single Family Residential to MF-L Multi-Family Low Density, for 0.18 acres of property located at 5206 Lyle Avenue.
