Staff Recommendation

DENY R-2 (General Residential) zoning.

---

Although the property was previously zoned R-2, a 1989 general rezoning to R-1A brought the zoning into conformance with the plan, which, at the time proposed low density residential. The current plan proposes TDR (Traditional Neighborhood), which allows consideration of R-2 zoning. The current R-1A zoning also conforms with the TDR plan designations on the property, is appropriate for the area, and allows reasonable use of the site for future development. Since Keith Ave. is classified as a major collector street, attached multi-family development may be considered by MPC as a use on review. Duplexes are also permitted in the current R-1A zone. The applicant may pursue a use on review for the proposed multi-dwelling use without the need to change the zoning to R-2.
