Council Report 132007 2446 05 · 132007.2446.05

               The proposed amendments seek to rezone the site from Low Density Residential to Medium
               Density Residential.

               Because the proposed development is contained within the current site and does not further
               encroach to adjoining sites, the proposal does not prejudice the surrounding area for
               redevelopment in the future to accommodate alternative uses as intended under the Medium
               Density Residential zone.
