Planning staff presented Z412025, an application to rezone about 1.78 acres on Dotsonville Road from R2 to R2A to allow smaller lot widths and increase inner-city growth potential. Staff said the property is in the Woodlawn Dotsonville planning area, in Utility District service, and that sidewalks would be required and the project falls below the city threshold for a traffic assessment. Historical estimates put potential yield at four to five lots; staff recommended approval and the planning commission also recommended approval.

Council members asked about points of access and the number of driveways permitted under the city access ordinance. Street department staff (Mr. Smith) said the ordinance makes it difficult to get more than two full connections; individual single-lot driveways are distinct from a street connection and are treated differently. Council members expressed concern about the existing narrowness of Dotsonville Road, safety when pulling out, and uncertainty about exact development plans; staff emphasized shared-driveway encouragement and that typical scenarios yield an additional one lot over current zoning.

No final council vote on the ordinance is recorded in the transcript portion provided.
