An RR district designation may be applied to a use in an area for which rural characteristics are desired or an area whose terrain or public service capacity require low density. • Multifamily Residence Medium Density (MF-3) district is the designation for multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. An MF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in a multifamily residential area located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities in a centrally located area or in an area for which medium density multifamily use is desired. Annexed in 1997 25-2-222 From the date of annexation until the property is zoned, annexed property is designated as an interim rural residence (RR) district. Zoning is the initial classification of property as a particular zoning base district. Zoning amends the zoning map to include property that was not previously in the zoning jurisdiction or that was not previously included in the boundaries of a base district. Area Heights 35 feet 35 feet 40 feet or 3 stories 35 feet 35 feet 35 feet 35 feet 35 feet 60 feet 40 feet or 3 stories 35 feet 35 feet 35 feet 40 feet 35 feet 35 feet or 3 stories 60 feet 40 feet 35 feet 60 feet 60 feet 35 feet 40 feet 40 feet or 3 stories Concept Site Plan Neighborhood Concerns • Traffic • McNeil Drive is a major arterial • Site meets frontage requirements for access • Traffic mitigation will be evaluated at site development permit stage • Proximity to single family • Proposed building to be 30’ from single family property • Existing Heritage trees and proposed vegetation to lines provide buffer
