The project site is an approximately 9,571 square-foot (0.22-acre) lot located at the junction of Kottinger Drive and Second Street. The property is essentially flat with two existing residences. The existing homes are approximately 1,026 square feet and 885 square feet in size with no covered parking provided on-site. The age of the front house indicates that it is of historic interest as the city's consultant, Architectural Resources Group, put the home on a list of Landmark Quality Buildings over 100 years old. The homes were constructed in 1895 and 1948, respectively; they are not considered architecturally signiticant. The site contains four existing trees that will be preserved as part of this application. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicants are proposing to retain the two existing single-Family residences of approximately 1,026 square feet and 885 square feet respectively and construct a new carport for each residence, subdividing the approximately 9,571 square-foot lot into two parcels of 4,085 square feet and 5,161 square feet respectively, while rezoning from RM- 4,000 to PUD-HDR (Planned Unit Development -High Density Residential); and to establish site development standards for any future renovations of the existing homes or new construction. Future proposals to develop the properties would be subject to the standards listed in the Developrraent Standards section of this report. After City Council action, the applicants will follow with an application for a minor subdivision map to subdivide the property from one parcel into two separate parcels. Site Plan The plans that are provided as Exhibit A indicate the development plan with the resulting parcel sizes. The PUD process is the most appropriate method to process this application request given the similarities to the adjacent parcels and other development in the downtown area that were also created with the PUD process. The parcel sizes indicated on the plan takes into account the 335 square feet of area that the City is requiring for public dedication along the front of the existing parcel. Access to both parcels would continue to be provided by the existing driveway. However, the project would provide a 10' wide easement for ingress and egress.
