Body
Background: The applicant requests a zone change from RR Rural Residential (RR) to SF-20 Single-family Residential (SF-20) on 1 acre. The site is located on the southwest corner of East 81st Street South and South Victoria Avenue. The subject property is located within the Ruud First Addition which is all zoned SF-20 with the exception of the subject property. The applicant proposes to build a new residential structure and demolish the existing residential structure. RR zoning requires a 2-acre minimum lot size; therefore, the applicant is requesting the zone change to SF-20. The site is within the Haysville Urban Area of Influence.
Property east, south and west of the site is zoned SF-20 and located within the Ruud First Addition. Parcel size averages one acre, and parcels are developed with single-family residences. Properties north of the site are zoned SF-20 and are unplatted parcels ranging from 0.5 to 1 acre.
