The number of single-family dwellings shall not exceed ten percent(10%)of the total number of dwelling units. The effective date of the Zoning Amendment was 5/12/07. Sincerely, Patrick Kennedy,Chair Planning&Zoning Commission PK/mda May 17, 2007 CO[PV Approved Text 4.4.2 Permitted Uses A. Within MF zone the following uses of building and land shall be permitted only by special exception, subject to the requirements of these regulation: 1. Single—family, duplex, and multi-family dwelling units, regardless of the form of ownership of the land and buildings. The number of single-family dwellings shall not exceed ten percent(10%) of the total number of dwelling units. The effective date of the Zoning Amendment was 5/12/07. TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL INQUIRER COP7r SATURDAY MAY 12, 2007 SOUTH WINDSOR—PLANNING &ZONING COMMISSION At its May 8, 2007, Regular Meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission took the following action: 1. Approved with modifications Appl 07-18P, DBB Management LLC—request for special exception to article 4.1.14 and site plan approval for one duplex on property located at 36 McGuire Road(northerly side of McGuire Road, westerly of Route 5), RR zone 2. Approved PZC-sponsored amendment to Section 5.8, Buckland Road Gateway Development Zone, to clarify that the intent of the zone is to create developments that do not resemble typical "strip commercial centers,"to define various terms, and to clarify distribution of parking spaces around buildings. (effective upon publication) 3. Approved with modifications Appl 07-07P, Design Professionals, Inc. Zoning Amendment—request to modify section 4.4.2.A.1 Permitted Uses to include single family and duplex units in Multi-family zones (effective upon publication) Patrick Kennedy, Chairman Appl #07-07P, DPI Zoning Amendment: SF and Duplexes in MF Zone Public Hearing 4-10-07 Planning Department Report 1. Request for amendment to Section 4.4.2 of the zoning regulations. S is the permitted uses section for Multi-Family zone. The current regulations allow for buildings with three or more units in the MF zone;-the-eurrentzorMi T9 re omits; and 41w,amendment would modify that to allow both duplexes and single- family units. 5 2. The Town Plan of Conservation and Development includes a section titled On- Going Considerations within the Implementation Actions portion of the Plan. The On-Going Considerations include housing recommendations to: • Continue to pursue policies that accommodate a range of housing alternatives without sacrificing Town character, • Be mindful of the need to maintain a cross-section of housing types and costs when investigating alternative approaches to residential development; and, • Address needs for moderately priced single family homes and housing for the Town's senior citizens. 3. The Commission's own zoning regulations update includes a modification to allow duplexes within MF zones. The addition of single family homes without limitation into multi-family zones seems like a duplication of our existing Designed Residence zone without the affordable housing component. The MF zone allows a density of 4.5 units per gross acre (gross acreage excludes generally unbuildable areas such as wetlands and waterbodies, detention areas and utility easements, and 15+% slopes). The maximum allowable densities in the Designed Residence zone are 2.5 units per acre with 15% affordable units, and a sliding scale up to a maximum of 4 units per acre with 30% affordable units. 4. One of the infrastructure impacts of this amendment would be the likely addition of higher numbers of school children in the single family units than are present in multi-family units. We have provided the Commission with a copy of a recent article from the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (of which i South Windsor has long been a member) about the smaller number of children generated by multi-family units vs. single-family units. 5. There should be no new environmental or traffic impacts generated by this amendment that aren't already present with a multi-family development. 6. The Capitol Region Council of Governments has reviewed this amendment as required and finds no apparent conflict with regional plans and policies or the concerns of neighboring towns. 7. If the Commission approves this application, Planning Department suggests that the Commission allow only a portion of the units in a multi-family zone to be single-family units (say, maximum 25%). 2 30 ' .j _.o1N�•�n�. ��
