Issues/Analysis: Density no greater than five (5) dwelling units per acre is permitted within a RM-5 zoning district. Thus, only two dwelling units would be permitted on the lots proposed for rezoning by Groza Builders, Inc.

Public comments were also submitted from residents regarding the proposed rezoning. Attached are public comments submitted to Planning and Zoning Department staff.
