The applicant, Roland Development Group, LLC, has petitioned to rezone a 3.16-acre site from R-12MF(CD) to N2-A(CD) to facilitate the development of up to 37 attached multi-family townhome units. The property, currently occupied by a medical office, is located west of Marsh Road. The proposal includes developing seven units within an existing landscape berm, which deviates from the established neighborhood character of large setbacks. While the development standards commit to enhanced landscaping, a 20-foot setback, and centrally located open space, city staff does not recommend approval. The staff's primary concern is that the site design, by bringing units closer to the street and reducing open space, is inconsistent with the tree-lined, walkable character of the Marsh Road corridor. The petition is considered consistent with the 2040 Policy Map's recommendation for the Neighborhood 2 Place Type, but the specific site layout is deemed detrimental to the area's existing aesthetic.
