The subject property is located at the southeast corner of West 2nd Street North and North Florence Street, approximately one block west of North West Road. With this request, the applicant would like to construct a five, two-family units on the existing lot. The Conditional Use application was filed related to the zone change to allow the multi-family site plan. The applicant explains that the property has been owned by their family since the mid 1960’s, and that the site was previously occupied as a mobile home park until approximately 1995. The property has been vacant since that time. The applicant believes that improving the site at this time will enhance property values in the area, and increase the tax base. A site plan was prepared for the proposed duplex buildings. The plan indicates two duplex buildings on North Florence Street, and three buildings on West 2nd Street North. Each duplex unit would be approximately 1,200 square feet, with three bedrooms and two baths with attached two-car garages. The buildings would have partial brick or stone front elevations. Please see the attached site plan and building line drawing. North of the subject property are single-family homes zoned SF-5. South of the site along North Florence Street is an area of single-family homes zoned SF-5. An area of commercial/retail is east of the property along North West Road, this area is zoned LC Limited Commercial (LC). West of the subject property are additional single- family homes. A new single-family home is being constructed at the northwest corner of West 2nd Street North  Agenda August 16, 2017 2 and North Florence Street.
