APPLICANT’S REQUEST
Rezone from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-15).
The subject parcel (zoned A) and an adjacent lot in the Eagle Cove subdivision (zoned Residential
(R-15)) are underone ownership. The owners propose to construct a garage on the subject
property as accessory to their residence on the adjacent lot, but are unable to meet Agricultural
(A) building setbacks. Approval of this rezoning would permit a re-subdivision of these two (2)
properties into one (1) lot and allow building setbacks to comply with the less restrictive
Residential (R-15) requirements.
(NOTE: The only condition that may be imposed is a buffer condition. The property owners may proffer
conditions.)

PROPOSAL
Both the adjacent lot in Eagle Cove subdivision (zoned R-15) and the subject parcel (zoned A)
were considered in combination for the purpose of constructing the existing single family
dwelling in 1997, as well as associated accessory improvements. When two properties are
used in combination for construction, the Ordinance requires compliance with building
setback standards for the more restrictive zoning district. As such, the proposed garage must
meet building setbacks for the Agricultural (A) District. Rezoning this parcel to R-15 would
permit the re-subdivision of the two (2)properties into one (1) lot, allowing future building
improvements to be subject to the less restrictive R-15 setback standards.
Should this proposal be approved, the next step for the property owners would be to
combine the properties through the re-subdivision(lot line modification) process.

The need for schools, parks, libraries, fire stations and transportation facilities in this area is
identified in the County’s adopted Public Facilities Plan, Thoroughfare Plan and Adopted Capital
Improvement Program and further detailed by specific departments in the applicable sections
of this request analysis.
The property owner has requested a rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-15) with
plans to combine the newly zoned parcel with an adjacent residentially zoned lot under the
same ownership. Theproperty owner has proffered the property will not be further subdivided,
which means there will be no additional lots created. (Proffered Condition)
The circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant/owner, have been
reviewed, and it has been determined that the proposed zoning will result in minimal impact on
capital facilities.
