General: The subject property is approximately 1.1 acres in size and is located on the east side of Ebony Street N.W., south of Riverdale Drive N.W. and the Superbowl facility. The preliminary plat is proposing to develop 3 two -unit twinhome structures on the property. 2. Zoning: The property is currently zoned B -2 Business; multi - family residential dwellings are not a permitted use in this district. To develop the property with twinhomes will require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use from Places to Shop to Medium Density Residential. If approved, the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan would be followed up with a rezoning of the property to Planned Unit Development, in accordance with the Mississippi Overlay District regulations described below. The comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning requests will be considered along with the preliminary plat and site plan. R -2 Residential District requirements will be used to evaluate the plat and site plan.
