Little Canada Mayor and City Council <br />Little Canada Planning Commission <br />3 April 1984 <br />Page Two <br />The existing activity, the present or pending zoning and the Comprehensive <br />Plan all suggest a medium density zoning rather than a low density classi- <br />fication for the parcels in question. From a long term perspective, based <br />upon the above noted factors, the medium density concept is seen as appro- <br />priate. Rezoning to R -1 would likely lead to eventual problems similar to <br />that being encountered by the Nardini property on Demont. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />In order to resolve both the immediate nonconforming classification concern <br />plus anticipated potential future compatible use, it is recommended that the <br />two parcels be rezoned to a minimum R -2 or preferably R -B. Both these <br />districts automatically permit single family dwellings. They, however, <br />provide greater flexibility for reuse into activities which can likely exist <br />in a more compatible fashion with the surrounding highly mixed zoning and <br />development. Both the R -2 and R -B allow for twin homes, plus multiples <br />limited to 4 unit structures, townhouses and quadraminiums. The R -B district <br />also allows for office space, nursing homes, elderly housing and community <br />centers. <br />The rezoning question is undoubtedly a policy issue which is clearly within <br />the discretion and jurisdiction of the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />Based, however, on the foregoing considerations, we strongly recommend <br />against the R -1 reclassification. <br />cc: Joseph Chlebeck <br />Tom Sweeney <br />Ed Locke <br />Don Carley <br />Applicants <br />2£ <br />
