ZON2015-0009
Bill Longnecker, MAPD, presented a request from applicant PBP Real Estate, c/o Chris Lee
(applicant/owner) Ruggles & Bohm, P. A., c/o Will Clevenger. They are requesting a zoning change to a
TF-3 Two-Family Residential. The proposed site is currently zoned SF-5 Single-Family Residential, 2.53
acres in size and is located at 31st Street North and Mascot Avenue intersection.
Recommended Action: Planning staff recommends that the request for zoning change and the
Conditional Use request be approved, subject to the following conditions:
Minutes 2
October 21, 2015
(1) The site will be developed with a total of 18 living units with two parking spaces per dwelling
unit on the approximately 2.53-acre site: (The MAPC made this revision which reduced the
number of living units from 23 to 18 units & required each living unit to have two on-site parking
spaces.)
(2) The site will be developed as shown on an approved site plan and in compliance with all the
UZC’s development standards for multi-family residential development including, but not limited
to, compatibility setbacks, parking, screening, lighting and landscaping.
(3) The site will be developed with 18 living units, reflecting the MAPC recommendations. The
applicant is proposing nine duplexes versus the originally proposed 23 living units consisting of
nine single-family residences and seven duplexes.
(4) Each living area unit will have two off-street parking spaces located on the driveway of each
living unit.
(5) Each living unit will have a carport.
(6) The applicant proposes that the two open lots shown on the revised site plan will be platted as
reserves for open space and playground. There will be platted reserves for drainage, playground
and open space. Originally the applicant proposed only one reserve for drainage.
(7) There will be a 32-foot wide public street cul-de-sac designed to Subdivision Regulations for
narrow residential streets for the development. Originally the applicant proposed a 25.1-foot
wide drive that looped through the site, with two intersections onto 31st Street North.
(8) There will be a ‘stone’ wainscot located along the shared entrance-porch portion of the front of
the duplexes. The front of the duplexes will share and face the same front yard, all as shown on
the elevations provided by the applicant. To understand differences, compare site plans and
elevations for the difference between the original proposal and the revised proposal.
(9) The site shall be developed in general conformance to an approved site plan (including any
adjustments needed as a result of the approved platting of the subject property) and elevations.
(10) The site will be platted within a year of approval of the zoning case by the governing body.
The DAB members were provided with the MAPD staff report with a recommendation to approve. On
March 19, 2015, the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted unanimously (9-0), approving the
request for zoning change and Conditional Use. DAB members were provided with a copy of the
notification letter that was mailed out to surrounding property owners and neighbors that have attended
earlier meetings. The letter highlighted the site plan improvements by the developer and the time and
date of the next open public meeting.

and the request for Conditional Use, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.
