STAFF REPORT <br /> To: Planning Commission Report No.: VIII.2 <br /> From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager 05 <br /> Date: July 19,2005 <br /> Subject: R-2 Rezoning Request for 3645 Chelmsford Road <br /> Date Application Received: Concept Review- R-2 Rezoning Request <br /> Property Address: 3645 Chelmsford Road <br /> Zoning District: R-1 <br /> 60-Day Expires: N/A <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Staff is asking the Planning Commission to review a request by Troy Martenson,owner of 3645 Chelmsford <br /> Road to rezone 3645 Chelmsford Road,from R-1 Single-family Zoning District to R-2 Two-Family Zoning <br /> District. <br /> Background: <br /> Currently, the property is zoned R-1,has an existing single-family structure on the lot and is a corner lot. <br /> The lot size is 19,260 SF (107' x 180') with a 75' utility easement given to Xcel Energy and is across the <br /> northern portion of the lot. The property adjacent to the east is zoned R-2;the properties directly across 37th <br /> Avenue to the north are zoned R-4. There have been several attempts to split this lot but because of the <br /> utility easement,these attempts have either been denied by the City or upon discovering the easement, <br /> petitioners have cancelled their applications. <br /> The owner also went before Council at its June 21St meeting with a petition for an R-3 Townhouse Zoning <br /> District rezoning request. The Council denied the request due to concerns about spot zoning. <br /> Mr. Martenson is now proposing to submit a rezoning request that would change the current zoning of R-1 <br /> to R-2. The R-2 Zoning District requires that a corner lot have an area of 14,000 SF and 100 feet in width at <br /> that building setback line. <br /> H:\Plannmg\Staff Reports\200 5\07 1905 Rezone concept review R2 3645 Chelmsford 062105 Staff report.doc <br />
