Analysis: Existing Proposed Required Zoning R-1 Single Family Residential R-2 or R-3 R-2 or R-3 Comprehensive Plan Single Family Detached Single Family Attached Single Family Attached Lot Size 44,544 SF 1.02 acres ? 6,250s ft /unit' Density 1 unit /ac 6 units /ac 7 units /acre2 Building Setbacks Front --43' Co Rd 1 --60' Long Lake Rd 30' 30' Co Rd 1 50' ? Lon Lake Rd3 Side 100'+ 10, 10, Rear 100'+ 30' 30' If the project is (3) twin -homes, then zoning can be R-2 or R-3. There is no difference between the two, if twin -homes. If zoned R-3, then the project could include two twin homes and one tri-plex (7 units), attached townhomes (6 units), detached townhomes (6 units), or apartments (6 units). A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for anything more than twin -homes. In the R-3 district; if twin -home, then 6,250 sq ft p/unit. If townhouse, then 6,500 sq ff p/unit. If Multi -family, then 2,500 sq ft p/unit. Example; (2) twin -homes = 25,000 sq ft lot area, + (1) three unit townhome = 19,500 sq ft (44,500 sq ft). The property is deficient by about 44 sq ft, requiring a Variance. This may change once a survey is completed. Density allows 7 units (44,544 sq ft - 6,250 sq ft p/unit = 7.13 units). If R-2, then six units e.g. 3 twin -homes). If R-3, then seven units (e.g. 2 twin homes & possibly 1 tri-plex).
