The North Forty Subdivision, First Filing, was approved by the City on June 7, 1977. This includes lot 7 , North
Forty, 1st filing FTC which was and still is addressed as 700 Rocky Rd. At the time of the approval the
subdivision and specifically lot 7 is located in the Residential Low Density (R-L) zoning district. The property
and subdivision have continued and remains in the R-L zoning district.
The R-L zone district has never permitted two-family or duplex dwellings unless they were considered legal-
nonconforming. The property at 700 Rocky Rd. is legal conforming as a single-family house and has never
been legal nonconforming. Therefore, the only residential permitted use here is a single-family dwelling ever
since the establishment of the subdivision. Two-family or duplex dwellings have never been permitted in the
subdivision.
