A total of 16 new two-level rental townhomes will be created on the now vacant properties just south of the existing Red Oak Apartments, which will be completely rehabilitated as a part of this project. New hipped-style roofs and new siding will be added to the apartment buildings to match the design of the proposed townhomes. With the existing 40 apartment units, this project will be comprised of 56 dwellings on 3.78 acres for a density of 15.0 dwellings per acre. Each of the townhouse units will have an attached single-stall garage and the apartments will have 41 new garages to replace the existing garages. This project does not require a rezoning. Multi-family dwelling structures containing six . or fewer dwelling units are an allowed use in the R-3, Medium Density Residential District. The development plan prepared by the applicant includes both the existing Red Oak Apartments and the new townhomes because changes are being made to the layout of the Red Oak Apartments as part of this proposal. The Planning Commission may be aware that there has been • some discussion with City Council on how this project will be financed and whether the City is interested in selling the land at the corner of Eastwood and Highway 10 to become a part of this project. These issues are being addressed outside of the development review process. Staff has reviewed this proposal from the standpoint of whether it meets development requirements.
