Project Description
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of the Yellowstone Heights subdivision from
Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1) to Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2). The request
applies to approximately 3.002 acres and is located at approximately 238 & 243 Ella Lane. The
property has been platted for condominiums and currently consists of two 12-plex
condominium buildings.
The adjacent parcels to the east are zoned as Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1). The areas
to the north, south, and west are zoned as Community Business Center (CBC). (See attached
current zoning map)
The current zoning of Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1) allows for a maximum density of 16
units per acre, consisting of attached single-family homes, multi-family, or a dormitory with a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
The proposed zoning of Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) allows for a maximum density of
20 units per acre, consisting of attached single-family homes, multi-family, or a dormitory with a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Not considering parking, infrastructure, or permissible lot
coverage requirements, a maximum of 60 units would be allowed on this property.
The current Comprehensive Plan designation of Intermediate Residential supports the Medium
Density Residential 2 (MDR2) zone request.
