This rezoning proposal would result in a text change to an existing zoning condition (TCZ).  The TCZ would remove the condition that restricts the maximum floor area ration (FAR) to 0.26. This change will facilitate the development of townhouses on the property, which is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. 

The Future Land Use Map designates 637 Sunnybrook Road as Moderate Density Residential. Moderate Density Residential allows for townhouses with densities not to exceed 14 units per acre. The Future Land Use Map further designates 3303, 3304 and 3306 Poole Road as Neighborhood Mixed Use. This designation allows for residential development in the Medium density range. NX is the most appropriate zoning district for the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation. Additionally, heights are generally limited to three stories in these areas. The proposed rezoning seeks to maintain the NX-3 zoning designation on the property.

• Existing Zoning: NX-3-CU
  • The existing zoning is Neighborhood Mixed Use with a 3-story height limit. See UDO Section 3.1 for more details on the intent of mixed use districts. 
• Proposed Zoning: NX-3-CU
  • The proposed zoning conditions are: 
    • prohibit the following uses: dormitory, fraternity, sorority; emergency shelter types A and B; adult establishment; passenger terminal; vehicle fuel sales; vehicle sales/rental; detention center, jail, prison; self-service storage; car wash; vehicle repair (minor); vehicle repair (major).
