Title
Ordinance No. 15-24 amending the Zoning Map of the City of Colorado Springs relating to a 0.143 acre lot from PUD/CR (Planned Unit Development with Conditions of Record) to R-2 (Two-family Residential).
(Quasi-Judicial Matter)
Body
From:
Peter Wysocki, Planning and Development Director, Planning and Development Department
Summary:
CPC ZC 14-00139 & CPC NV 14-00140
This project consists of two applications; a change of zoning from PUD/CR (Planned Unit Development with Conditions of Record) to R-2 (Two-family Residential) and a non-use variance request.
The rezoning request will facilitate the request by Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust for use of the property as a duplex. Currently the property is part of a Planned Unit Development zone that restricts the use to a single-family residence.
The non-use variance application is specific to two requests: 1) to allow a duplex on a 6,239 square foot lot where a minimum of 7,000 square feet is required, and 2) to allow one (1) off-street parking stall where a minimum of two (2) are required.
The property is located at 544 W. Monument Street and consists of a 6,239 square foot lot (.143 acre). R-2 zoning is common within the neighborhoods located south and east of the site.
