The duplexes in the Bungalows on Paradise will be available to tenants for rent. This is unique to the surrounding residential development which is comprised mainly of detached, single-family homes and manufactured housing. New residential dwelling units will add an additional housing option for those looking to live in the area and will help address the demand for new housing in the area. The Rezoning application requests to change the zoning on the property from R1-6, Single Residence, to R-2, Mixed Residence.
