PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Development Services has received a request from Joseph Dehnert of IMEG Corp. representing Lloyd Twite of Lloyd A Twite Family Partnership to rezone a portion of Linda Vista Estates Subdivision, Phase 2 as shown on Map Exhibit A from R5.4 Residential to OP2 Open and Resource Lands and rezone a portion of Linda Vista Estates Subdivision, Phase 2 and the land south of Lower Miller Creek Road within Linda Vista Estates Subdivision as shown on Map Exhibit A from R5.4 Residential to RT5.4 Residential, located in Section 13, Township 12 North, Range 20 West, P.M.M.
The site is currently zoned R5.4 Residential 5.4. The applicant is seeking to change the zoning to RT5.4 Residential 5.4 (two-unit/townhouse) and OP2 Open and Resource Lands. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning districts are standard zoning districts that apply equally to other areas of the city with the same zoning. City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because State Law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.
The R5.4 and RT5.4 zoning districts allow the same uses and have the same required setbacks and height limits, but the RT5.4 district allows for duplex (two-unit house) and 2-unit townhouse residential building types.
The OP2 Open and Resource Lands zoning district is intended to preserve open space and sensitive natural resources. The land proposed to be rezoned OP2 is within a conservation easement.
For general rezoning information, review the FAQ’s on this page.
The subject property is in the Miller Creek Neighborhood and Council Ward 5.
