PROPOSAL
Asingle-family residential dwelling is proposedon the request properties. Two (2) parcels (3643
and 3645 Gill Street) were created by the vacation of right-of-way (Jim Street). The third parcel
(3641 Gill Street) was created in November 2009 through an illegal parcel subdivision.
Consequently, 3641 Gill Street is not eligible to file a variance to permita dwelling without public
road frontage.
To rectify the road frontage requirement, a conditional use planned development is the zoning
process to reduce the required road frontage for a lot within a subdivision. The property owner
plans to consolidate (resubdivide) the vacated right-of-waystrips with 3641 Gill Street to provide
the proposed lotwith twenty (20) feet of public road frontage.
The following provides an overview of staff’s recommended conditions related to the road
frontage and design standardsfor the proposed single-family dwelling:
