RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval, pending Plan Amendment.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the Northwest Community Plan and is designated as Low Density Residential. The requested “C-1” base zoning district is not consistent with the adopted land use designation. The applicant has applied for a Plan Amendment to change the designation to General Urban Tier. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Plan Amendment.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The proposed “C-1” zoning district would be appropriate for the subject property. The existing property is adjacent to Braun Road, a Secondary Arterial. The applicant requests this zoning change in order to develop the property as a bed and breakfast. The property currently has the existing rooms and the applicant is rezoning for compliance with the code.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property is 1.915 acres in size which accommodates the proposed development with adequate space for parking.
7. Other Factors:
None.
