ZONING HISTORY
The property is currently occupied by a single-family dwelling that was built in 1970. In 1972, as a
result of a county-wide rezoning, approximately fifty (50) feet of the northern portion of the
property was rezoned to Community Business (C-3). The northern part of the dwelling is now
located within a C-3 District and is considered a nonconforming use, preventing residential
additions or improvements in this C-3 portion of the property (Exhibit 1). This split-zoning was
identified upon an inquiry made by the property owner to construct a detached carport to the
northern side of the existing dwelling and within the C-3 portion of the property.

PROPOSAL
Rezoning of the C-3 portion of the property to render the existing single family dwelling
conforming as to useand to accommodate a proposed detached carport is planned. The majority
of the property is zoned R-7; however, R-7 is no longer granted. As such, for consistency, the
proposed R-12 zoningencompasses the entire property and includes a conditional use planned
development to maintain the R-7 building setbacks original to the property and applicable to
neighboring residential development.
Reductions inspecific R-7 buildings setbacks are included in the request. These reductionsare
designed to accomplish the following:
Bring the existing dwelling into conformance with setback requirements while keepingin
character with the neighborhood, and
Permit the construction of a detached carport at reduced front and side yard setbacks.
The following is an overview of the R-7 building setbacks for the existing dwelling and the setback
reduction which is illustrated in Exhibit 2:

Exhibit 2
Property Owner’s Concept Plan
The proposed detached carport would be consistent in setbacks from Hanover Street to that of the
existing dwelling, and in keeping with thecharacter of development on adjacent lots with similar
structures. Further, the adjacent property to the north, bordering where the carport is proposed,
is zoned Community Business (C-3) and is currently occupied by a residential use (duplex).This
adjacent duplex is located approximately 90feetnorth of the shared boundary with the subject
property. Should thisadjacent property ever develop for commercial use, current Ordinance
standards would require the provision of a buffer on the commercial property to provide
appropriate separation between the commercial and residential uses.As such, the reduction in
the side yard setback for the carport does not appear to have an impact on thisadjacent property.
