Staff Recommendation: Approval Of three units
Background:
The site is located on the east side of North Sylvania between. The applicant is proposing to change the
zoning from "A-7.5" One -Family to "PD/A-7.5" Planned Development for all uses in "A-7.5" One -Family
plus six units on one lot for existing residential units. This is an open code compliance case.
The property was rezoned From "E" to "A-7.5" in 2010 as part of a council -initiated rezoning. Prior to the
mid-1980s, multifamily uses were allowed in commercial zoning districts — today residential uses are not
allowed in any commercial zoning district. The Tarrant Appraisal District shows the date of construction
as 1942, and according to a Sanborn maps from 1945, there were three structures and three units at
1900 Sylvania Avenue. The Sanborn maps and current aerials show there are houses in the area that
have accessory structures on their lots.
The site today consists of three structures with six residential units: two units in each structure. Five of the
units have one bedroom with the sixth one containing two. There is a total of 9 parking spaces with
seven required for the number of bedrooms. All of the spaces are located behind the front building wall.
During the Zoning Commission a person spoke against the request. She stated the neighborhood would
be okay with the three units that had been on site, but were against the request for additional units.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is proposing a zoning change to PD/A-7.5 Planned Development for all uses in "A-
7.5" One -Family plus six units on one lot. Surrounding land uses consist of primarily single-family
with duplexes to the east and a commercial business to the south.
The proposed use is compatible with surrounding land uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single -Family residential. The
requested zoning change for six units is considered multifamily and is not consistent with the
following Comprehensive Plan policies.
•Encourage appropriate development and redevelopment within central city commercial
districts and neighborhoods. (pg. 39)
•Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses, disinvestments,
encroachment, speculation, demolition, neglect, and other negative forces. (pg. 39)
However, the continued usage of these six units provides alternative and affordable housing
accommodations, especially within the older parts of town and in the central city. While the use of
six units is not consistent with the Single Family designation of the future land use plan, it does
provide affordable and accessible housing which is also a policy of the city.
Therefore, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
