Lawrence and Corby. The petitioner is seeking to rezone from SF2, Single - Family and Two (2) Family, to NF I, Urban Corridor Multi- Family District. To the north, east, and west are Single - Family homes zoned SF2, Single - Family and Two (2) Family. To the south you have a couple of Single - Family homes zoned SF2 and then the portion of it zoned MU is actually the Marriott building. There's a hotel there in the portion zoned MU, Mixed -Use. Ms. Smith presented an image of the existing lot in its current state of vacancy to the Committee. She stated, The petitioner is proposing three (3) buildings, each of which would contain three (3) townhomes. The NF District is the district that would allow for the attached townhomes, in this instance. They are two (2) story townhomes with an attached garage. The petitioner is proposing written commitments associated with the project. They would be limited to a total of nine (9) Single - Family Attached Dwelling Units. No Single - Family Attached Dwelling Unit in the described project shall exceed the maximum height of forty (40) feet. No more than four (4) Single - Family Attached Dwelling Units shall make up any single building mass. A minimum five (5) foot front yard setback shall be required along any public street runnage and a minimum two (2) foot offset shall be required between any Single - Family Attached Dwelling Units. Basically, one (1) unit shall be set back two (2) feet from the one (1) next to it, to allow some variation in the building. The other originally proposed written commitments are handled through other commitments in the property, but these would be the only ones associated with the rezoning petition. This comes to you from the Area Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation, subject to those written commitments. Rezoning this to allow for the higher density —or medium density residential —is consistent with the area of the plan. This will allow for a variety of housing options in this area, in order to address the demands of the market. Committeemember Jo Broden asked, Administratively, where are the commitments written? Ms. Smith responded, The written commitments are a document that was recorded with the property. So, what we would do is, if approved— subject to those written commitments —all those written commitments would be prepared between the petitioner and our office, and it's submitted to our office for review, and then they get recorded. So, they will be recorded with the property. Ms. Smith then clarified for Committeemember Broden that only the five (5) commitments she read earlier would be recorded. Committeemember Oliver Davis asked, But the ones you're doing just have something to do with... ? Ms. Smith responded, Right. We only want to build a land - use —once associated with a zoning— that the Area Plan Commission doesn't want to be in a position to have to enforce their tax revenues or their tax status and their homeowner living there, and we were strictly limiting them to the land -use issued at hand. Committeemember Broden stated, So, then that enforcement appears to be kicked to the NNRO and NENC. 3
