Background:
The proposed site is composed of two (2) vacant lots located on the southwest side of NW 191" Street in
the Far Greater Northside area. The neighborhood is part of the Belmont Park Addition and is contained
within NEZ Area 1. The applicant is requesting to rezone from "A-5" One -Family Residential to "B" Two -
Family Residential, in order to accommodate duplexes. Since there are two (2) platted lots of record, this
would allow up to four (4) dwelling units rather than the two (2) currently allowed under the existing "A-5"
zoning. The application does not list the current owner or a current purchaser to be the developer, however
the owner stated their wish to build these duplexes as soon as possible with the intention of housing family
members.
This site is located in the middle of a residential area, with land on both sides developed as single-family
residences. There are as many as three (3) duplexes located on this block, however these were constructed
and occupied prior to a Council -initiated rezoning that was approved in 2010. The origins of this City Council
action were driven by neighborhood concerns. The district Councilmember at the time was able to
spearhead a process to gather neighborhood feedback and brought a consensus for these changes, which
resulted in a unanimous vote to approve the Far Greater Northside rezoning, Phase 2. The practical effect
of this zoning change stopped the development of duplexes in the area, which had been more prevalent
prior to the rezoning.
The site is earmarked for single-family residential future land use in the latest adopted Comprehensive Plan.
City staff would recommend the application to rezone be denied, keeping with the adopted Comprehensive
Page 1 of 3
Plan and retaining the current "A-5" zoning, which would allow the development of two (2) single-family
houses by right.

Zoning History: The most recent zoning action on this property was in 2010 (ZC-10-089) when the City
Council initiated the 2nd phase of the rezoning of the Far Greater Northside Area. The zoning designation
was changed from "B" Two -Family to "A-5" One -Family.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting to rezone from "A-5" One -Family Residential to "B" Two -Family
Residential for potential duplex development. Behind this site is a platted but unimproved alley.
The properties abutting this site on either side are developed as single family residences. There is
a duplex built on a lot on the opposite side of the street. However, this duplex is considered legal -
nonconforming and would not be allowed to be built today based on the neighborhood rezoning
that took place in 2010.
A duplex is considered a residential dwelling unit and is similar to a single family residence,
accommodating two (2) households instead of one (1). As such, the amount of activity and use
generated by a duplex is more intense than a single family dwelling based on the increased
occupancy. Based on the 2010 City Council initiated rezoning, the proposed "B" Two -Family zoning
is not compatible at this location.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northside
The 2021 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single -Family Residential. The
proposed "B" Two -Family zoning does not align with the intended future land use.
• Townhouse, duplex, and similar residential zoning classifications are usually acceptable in
appropriate locations on the periphery of the mixed use core
Based on the site being on the interior of a neighborhood rather than on the periphery of a mixed
use core area, the proposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff
recommends maintaining the current "A-5" zoning which would allow construction of up to two (2)
single family residences and would align with the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
3. Economic Development Plan
The 2011 Northside Economic Development Strategy Plan was approved to promote growth and
orderly development focused on the City's established Northside area. The following strategies
were included in the executive summary and apply to this project:
Page 2 of 3
In order to address an aged housing stock and a low level of new housing construction in
the Northside area, the consultant team recommended a Neighborhood Stabilization
program aimed at encouraging employees of Northside institutions and businesses to
buy homes and live in Northside neighborhoods.
Investment in constructing new housing —both single-family and multifamily —would
replace dilapidated single-family rental properties.
