The applicant would like to rezone the property to a TF-3 District and submit a lot split to divide the property as well as construct a new single-family home. The existing lot is 9,583 square feet, and is improved with a single family home. The lot dimensions are 65 feet x 150 feet. The proposed TF-3 District has a minimum lot size of 3,500 square feet for a single family home, so the existing lot can be split to meet the minimum lot size for two single family units in a TF-3 District. The proposed new home would be subject to all applicable setback requirements of the TF-3 District. There are several TF-3 zoning Districts with similar lot splits in the immediate area of the subject property. The Community Investment Plan portrays the subject site as appropriate for “residential uses.” The residential use category encompasses areas that reflect the full diversity of residential development densities and types found in a large urban municipality.
