V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed final plat depicts 16 single-family residential building lots and 2 common lots on 4.75
acres of land in the R-4 zoning district. The gross density of the proposed subdivision is 3.37
dwelling units (d.u.) per acre with a net density of 4.29 d.u. per acre. The minimum property size is
8,103 square feet with an average property size of 10,153 square feet (s.f.). All of the proposed lots
are for single-family detached homes and must comply with the dimensional standards of the R-4
zoning district listed in UDC Table 11-2A-5. Staff has reviewed the proposed plat and found it in
compliance with the aforementioned dimensional standards.
Because this property is below 5 acres in size, qualified open space and site amenities were not
required to be provided as set forth in UDC 11-3G-3.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2. The number of building lots and
common area is the same; therefore, staff finds the proposed final plat in substantial compliance with
the approved preliminary plat.
