A Land Disposal of 3,000 square feet (PAD2022 0001)

The application is seeking to purchase approximately 3,000 square feet of CBJ-owned land in order to subdivide their lot in the Rural Reserve district. The purpose of this land disposal is to provide access to a lot that the applicant is seeking to subdivide. The exact dimensions of the purchase are not yet known, and will be contingent on the dimensional standards required by the Department of Transportation for a proposed driveway. The lots have access from North Douglas Highway, a collector road.

 

A rezone of approximately 10 acres from a D10 single-family to a D10 residential zone (AME2022 0005)

The applicant is seeking to rezone a 10.97-acre portion of a larger CBJ-owned tract in preparation to purchase and subdivide for a proposed multi-family housing development utilizing Low-income Housing Tax Credit funding for a portion of the units, while other units remain market rate. The current zoning, D10SF, does not allow for multi-family development.
