Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts in relation to this zone change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-4” Residential Single-Family base zoning is also consistent with the development pattern of the surrounding area.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
This zone change request does not appear to be in conflict with any stated public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.4545 acre tract is of sufficient size for the proposed development.
7. Other Factors:
The applicant is seeking approval for the zone change to allow five units, which previously existed, but is rezoning to bring them up to code.
