The applicant is seeking to subdivide 2 lots into 4 new lots to construct 4 single-family attached homes. The property is zoned for multifamily use and the proposed plat meets zoning requirements for lot sizes, total area, and utilities while addressing conditions from Planning and Zoning such as easements and non-conforming lot notation. Planning and Zoning recommended approval and public notification yielded some support and opposition.
