Situated on approximately 2.21 acres, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers an exciting opportunity to renovate and create a space that reflects your personal style. With some love, vision, and TLC, the property could be transformed into something truly special. Offering both residential and commercial zoning, along with the possibility of subdivision, this unique property presents a variety of potential uses for homeowners, investors, or business owners. Bring your creativity and explore everything this property could become! Buyers should independently verify zoning, permitted uses, subdivision potential, and all requirements with the appropriate county and governmental authorities. Email from Kent County Jesse Lindenberg, AICP Planner below... The parcel is split zoned BN (Neighborhood Business - shown in pale red below) and RS1 (Residential Single Family - shown in yellow). The BN zoning district permits small intensity commercial uses, such as retail and offices. You can find a full list of permitted uses the Permitted Use Chart in our online code. The RS1 district permits single family residential. This district allows stick built or modular homes but not manufactured homes. The existing home appears to be located within the BN zoning portion of the property. Based on our records, it was built prior to the establishment of our zoning regulations. This means it would be considered legal nonconforming and allowed to remain as is. If the house is condemned, a new home could be built in the same place. If it is willfully demolished, any new home would need to be constructed within the RS1 portion of the property. It would also need to meet the required setbacks of 5' sides and a 10' rear. There is no required setback from the zoning district line. The parcel could potentially be subdivided, though the new lot and the existing would both need to meet the required minimum lot sizes, frontages, etc. Since the portion along the roadway is BN, the minimum frontage required would be 100' for each parcel. Each parcel would also need to be a minimum of 0.5 acre in size. If the existing house is kept, the new parcel lines would need to be placed so that the home meets the required setbacks.
