apartment projects such as Clover Ridge, which is immediately adjacent to the site on the east, unit <br />density may be much lower. <br />In addition, there is still a large portion of the area that remains as a traditional single-family <br />neighborhood. The community should remain sensitive to this as the neighborhood experiences potential <br />future land use changes. In reviewing projects such as this, the intent and size of the original structure <br />should be considered, and used in such a way as to respect the desires of the residents that wish to remain <br />in the neighborhood, and acknowledge the development patterns that are occurring. <br />The conversion of a residential structure in such a way as to increase the number of unrelated individuals <br />that are capable of living in the unit does not address the issues noted above. This would be a conversion <br />in either footprint, or number of bedrooms. The Zoning Ordinance defines "family", briefly, as: "... a <br />number of persons, but not exceeding two (2) persons who are not related by blood, legal adoption or <br />marriage, living and cooking ...". This petition is requesting that 5 unrelated individuals be allowed to <br />reside together, in a home originally built with three bedrooms (based on information from the Health <br />Department). <br />Considering the structure, its location relative to the new developments in the neighborhood and the other <br />single-family residences, the staff would ask that The Board, if it is considering a favorable <br />recommendation, to limit the number of unrelated individuals living in this particular structure, to three <br />(3 ). <br />Sincerely, <br />Ii n <br />t;hrista Navder. !1 <br />Planner <br />
