The petition proposes to rezone approximately 0.47 acres located on the east side of Castleton Road from N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A) to N1-C (Neighborhood 1-C). The parcel is currently occupied by a single-family home. The proposed N1-C zoning allows all uses permitted by-right and under prescribed conditions in that district. Staff and the Zoning Committee (vote 5-0) recommend approval, finding it consistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for Neighborhood 1 Place Type. The rationale highlights the area's established single-family homes, access to goods/services, and transit stops. The rezoning represents a slight increase in intensity, creating a gradual transition between lower-intensity N1-A and higher-intensity multi-family zoning districts nearby, without sharp contrasts. The primary difference between N1-A and N1-C is dimensional standards like lot size and width. During discussion, it was clarified that duplex and triplex uses are allowed under both existing and proposed zoning, but the petitioner does not have enough room to subdivide the property into two lots.
