Annexation and Rezoning
Upon annexation, the Petitioner seeks to rezone the subject property to R1A (Low Density Single-Family Residence District). The subject property meets the R1A lot size and width requirements.

Upon review, staff agrees with the Petitioner’s findings and recommends their adoption by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
