Project Description
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of 2 parcels totaling approximately 1.25 acres
from High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) to High Density Residential 2 (HDR2). The properties are
located at approximately 509-539 S 5th W, east of Calls Sinclair and Woody Smith Ford and south
of Les Schwab’s.
The adjacent parcels to the north and east are zoned High Density Residential 1 (HDR1).
Adjacent parcels to the south are zoned as Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1). Adjacent
parcels to the west are zoned as Community Business Center (CBC). (See attached current
zoning map)
The current zoning of High Density Residential 1 (HDR1) allows for a maximum density of 30
units per acre, consisting of single family attached homes, multi-family, or dormitory with a
Conditional Use Permit. Not considering parking, infrastructure, or permissible lot coverage
requirements, the maximum density for 1.25 acres would be 37 units.
The proposed zoning of High Density Residential 2 (HDR2) allows for a maximum density of 42
units per acre, consisting of single family attached homes, multi-family, or dormitory with a
Conditional Use Permit. Not considering parking, infrastructure, or permissible lot coverage
requirements, the maximum density for 1.25 acres would be 52 units.
Not considering parking, infrastructure, or permissible lot coverage requirements, the proposed
zoning would increase the maximum residential density by 15 units.
With the approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment, permit number 26-00477, the
current Comprehensive Plan designation of High Residential (HR) supports the High Density
Residential 2 (HDR2) zone requests.
