According to FEMA maps, none of the property is located in a 100-year floodplain area.
The property is designated as Levels 2 and 3 in the Comprehensive Plan. RS-3 zoning is identified as being in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2. In Level 3, RS-3 zoning is identified as “possible”. To be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed RS-3 zoning must be an extension of an adjacent R-2, RS-2, R-3, or RS-3 district and would not preclude access to a potential higher intensity use from an arterial street. The property associated with BAZ 1961 is proposed to be developed in conjunction with the Crossings at Lynn Lane development, which was zoned RS-3, subject to platting. Therefore, the RS-3 zoning proposed with BAZ 1961 is an extension of an adjacent RS-3 district and is considered to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
