NR-4 Rezone Information
Logan City is undertaking a rezone in three different parts of the City to change the current zoning from Neighborhood Residential (NR-6) to Neighborhood Residential (NR-4). The purpose of this rezone action is (1) to zone existing residential areas in Logan consistent with the appropriate residential zoning district, and (2) to ensure that new development on some of the larger vacant parcels of land are developed in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods.
The differences between the NR-6 and NR-4 revolve around maximum residential densities, minimum lot sizes, minimum street frontages, etc. NR-6 permits up to 6 dwelling units per acre on 6,000 square foot lots while NR-4 permits up to 4 dwelling units per acre on 10,000 square foot lots. Both permit the same types of uses, namely single family residential dwellings. The only distinction is that the NR-6 permits more density and more units per acre than the NR-4. If you have an existing house on an existing lot, than this really has no impact on you. The only impact is if there is vacant land adjacent to your home that could potentially be subdivided. This action would permit fewer homes on larger lots.
The Planning Commission will consider this rezone request on October 27, 2016 starting at 5:30 in Logan City Hall.
