PLN2001-00043 2 11/5/2001 • With the exception of those properties fronting Washington Avenue which are zoned CC Commercial Community, the properties in the project vicinity are zoned either RD Residential Duplex, RM-1800 Residential Multi -Family or RM-1800 (PD) Residential Multi —Family Planned Development Overlay. • The subject property encompasses 10,010 square feet and is developed with a single-family residence, a two-story tri-plex, a small commercial building which is currently vacant, and a three -car carport.
