Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The subject property is located within the North Sector Future Land Use Plan and currently designated as Regional Center in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “MF-33” Multi-Family District is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zone change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area including other multi-family complexes to the north and south of the subject property.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “C-3” General Commercial base zoning district is also appropriate for 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:
As the request is consistent with the North Sector Future Land Use Plan, staff finds that this zone change request does not appear to be in conflict with any stated public policy.
6. Size of Tract:
The 4.3255 acre parcel of land is of sufficient size for the proposed development.

SAWS has reviewed the zone change request and has recommended approval, contingent upon the following site specific recommendations.
