Review and Recommendation |
The subject site is a vacant, single-family lot located within a single-family neighborhood within the original Chandler townsite that is currently zoned Multi-Family District (MF-2). The applicant's request is to approve a rezoning from MF-2 to Planned Area Development (PAD) for a single-family residence with an accessory building. As part of this request, the applicant is requesting deviations from the required 25 ft. front yard and 5 & 10 ft. side yard setbacks. Proposed setbacks of 5 ft. on both side yards and 20 ft. for the front yard are being requested. These setbacks are consistent with other single family/duplex units in the neighborhood that have recently been approved by the City Council. Planning Staff has reviewed the request and supports the proposal, citing consistency with the General Plan and Zoning Code. The proposal is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, which call for a variety of housing choices and a compatible mix of housing choices within the Neighborhoods Designation. Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval subject to conditions. |
