ZONING: HB (17.28 AC), B2 (14.9 AC)

Under the current zoning you would need a special use permit to build 4 units per acre in HB and 2 units per acre in B2. The current zoning does not reflect the properties highest and best use. To achieve the property’s highest and best use a potential buyer should submit for a rezoning to Multifamily (MF-14). MF-14 with a special use permit, permits 14 units per acre. With the rezoning to MF-14 a buyer is looking at potentially 448 units. Initial feedback from the town staff has been positive as it relates to a rezoning.
