The purpose of this rezoning was to allow the continuation of the existing pattern of duplex development within this subdivision. Of the 36 lots within East Hill Subdivision, all but four have been developed with duplexes. The four vacant lots have a severe grade change from front to back which will make it difficult to build duplexes while adhering to the standards of the new code for the RS-12 zone. Therefore, to allow the existing pattern of development to occur on these four lots, staff recommends that East Hill Subdivision be rezoned Planned Development Housing Overlay (OPDH-8) rather than RS-12. The OPDH zone will specify that the dimensional requirements of the existing RS-8 zone will apply to the subdivision. In essence this rezoning will result in no change for the subdivision.
