PL-25-0236 — Two duplex buildings for a total of four dwelling units (three-story structures with two-car garages) in Avondale, AZ
This application seeks to apply the Historic Avondale Infill Overlay (HAIO) to a 0.16-acre vacant parcel zoned R-4, enabling Habitat for Humanity to develop four affordable duplex units with modified development standards including reduced setbacks and increased building coverage. The project is compatible with the surrounding area, particularly the nearby Hill Tract Estates affordable housing project, and staff found it in conformance with the General Plan and applicable design standards. Approval was recommended and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the request with conditions.
