Background: the applicant is proposing to construct a single family residence on the subject property. The subject property is constricted by its configuration and location on two-streets, therefore requiring two (2) front setbacks of 30-feet adjacent to each street.   

Land Use Compatibility:  The property is located in a residential neighborhood; therefore the construction of a single family residence is compatible.

Adequate Public Facilities: The property has access via Erskine Drive and Naranga Drive; city water and wastewater is available.

Comprehensive Plan Consistency: The subject parcel is located in an existing residential neighborhood; development of the site would be considered infill development.  Therefore the proposed single family residence is consistent with Policy 1.4.3 of the Future Land Use Element states “If necessary, the City may reduce limitations on infill and redevelopment activities consistent with the land uses and densities indicated in this Plan in situations that will not jeopardize public health, safety or welfare.”

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Motion to approve VA-1922.
