Memo
To: The Honorable City Council
From: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
Date: August 7, 2019
Re: Amending Zoning Ordinance
1043 Ohio Street, Tax -Map R23-009 from RR&A to URD1, said parcel of land
containing 3 acres. CO 19-283
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on August 6, 2019 held a Public
Hearing on the above zone change request.
John Karnes of 1105 Ohio Street, applicant, reviewed application. Previously the property
had no access to water or sewer and the property does now, so he indicated he thought
URD1 will fit as a district for the lot. Member Kenney asked why not use a contract zone.
Karnes advised he's looking to sell off rear acre of land, and that he lives in an abutting
house.
Planning Officer Gould reviewed staff report. The district for Rural Residential and
Agriculture (RR&A) is for low density rural development. Now that the utilities are
available, Urban Residential Development 1 (URD1) or Low Residential Development
(LDR) are appropriate. Mr. Gould noted that URD1 does not provide for attached
residential housing. While the URD1 lot size is smaller, it is not significantly different than
LDR. Board members briefly discussed possible uses.
Member Kenney moved to recommend the zone change, seconded by Member Brush.
All members voted unanimously to recommend zone change to City Council for the
Council Order 19-283.
