BACKGROUND
On January 8, 2020, City Council held a public hearing and approved an application for a TH-2(A) Townhouse District with revised deed restrictions volunteered by the applicant on property zoned an R-7.5(A) Single Family District with the ordinance and deed restrictions to return on a future Council date.
The purpose of the request is to develop the site with a shared access development. Initially, the volunteered deed restrictions limited the number of dwelling units to ten, limited the maximum structure height allowed to 30 feet, and required that the northern-most dwelling unit face Falls Drive.
At the January 8, 2020 City Council hearing, the applicant amended the deed restrictions to add the following: All other single family uses face east; require that front porches be covered and that a maximum of 50 percent of the single family uses have a front porch which is at least two-thirds of the width of the front façade; restrict a maximum of 50 percent of the dwelling units to have an enclosed garage; require that garage doors must be recessed behind the main façade of the single family structure by at least five feet; require a solid fence having a minimum height of eight feet to be installed along the western property line; and require that during construction, construction vehicles use Wright Street to access the property.
