DIVISION 2, SECTION 5-201(A) (2) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING
TO THE MINIMUM LOT AREA PER DWELLING UNIT IN THE MODERATE DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL (R-6) ZONE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
enactment of a new zone district (R-6A) to provide the Williams
Addition property owners the ability to construct a duplex on a
7,500 sq. ft. lot and to provide 10 ft. side yard setbacks; and

recommendation of the Planning Office and Planning Commission,
