INFORMATION: In February 2016, the Town received a request to rezone two lots on Fidelity Street from R-7.5 to R-2-Conditional (R-2-CZ) for the construction of six single-family residential units (the existing R-7.5 zoning would allow three units). A conceptual site plan and illustrative rendering are attached. A draft list of conditions for the rezoning is still being refined; copies will be provided at the meeting. The applicants have also requested a text amendment to the LUO to reduce the minimum lot size in the R-2 zoning district from 4,000 square feet to 2,000 square feet for architectural integrated subdivisions (AIS) on tracts of at least 20,000 square feet. If the text amendment and rezoning are approved, the applicant would follow with an application for a special use permit. A draft ordinance has been prepared.
