Joe Bennett, City Administrator, provided the following brief background: The subject property 3400 - 3420 Archerfield Way (Archerfield Subdivision) was rezoned from NS (Neighborhood Shopping) to RDA-Conditional in 2021 (Z21-006) to allow a subdivision with twelve (12) single-family detached homes. The site work for the development has been completed and the applicant is requesting a zoning amendment to allow an increase in building height as well as reductions to driveway length and building setbacks to build the new homes. Russell Martin, Community Development Director, provided the following background: The applicant is requesting a zoning amendment for an increase in height, as well as setback and driveway length reductions.

Additionally, the setback reductions are necessary due to the right-of way dedication required for the lots facing Campbell Road. Community Development Staff is supportive of the zoning amendment request. Community Development recommends approval of the zoning amendment to rezoning case 221-006 for an increase in building height as well as reductions to setbacks and driveway lengths with the following conditions: Standard Conditions (Requirement #2, 8, 16 and 17 from Section 1201 of the Zoning Code is not applicable}
