  • New Zoning Description: The L-R-3, Limited Residential District is intended to provide for attached single-family dwellings and two-family dwellings on lots with a minimum area of 3,000 square feet per dwelling unit and a minimum lot width of 30 feet. It allows for a maximum height of 45 feet and a maximum density of 24 units per acre.
  • Previous Zoning: R-2.5
  • Previous Zoning Description: The R-2.5, Residential District is designed to accommodate single-family dwellings on lots with a minimum area of 2,500 square feet and a minimum lot width of 25 feet. It allows for a maximum height of 35 feet and a maximum density of 17 units per acre.

This application seeks to rezone a 0.11-acre property located at 54 East Norwich Avenue from the R-2.5, Residential District to the L-R-3, Limited Residential District. The proposal is to construct a two-family dwelling on the lot. The current R-2.5 zoning permits single-family homes, while the proposed L-R-3 zoning allows for two-family dwellings, increasing the density on the site. The site is currently vacant. The proposed two-family dwelling aligns with the city's comprehensive plan to promote diverse housing options and increase housing supply in appropriate areas. The change in zoning will allow for a higher density residential use, moving from 17 units per acre to 24 units per acre. The proposed building will be 2 stories, with a maximum height of 30 feet, which is below the permitted 45 feet in the new zoning district. The site is located within Council District 3, in an area predominantly characterized by single-family and some two-family residences.
