RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (8-0) recommend Approval.
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 South Central Future Land Use Plan and is currently designated as Low Density Residential in the land use component of the plan. The requested district of “R-4” Residential Single-Family 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 zoning change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing “R-4” Residential Single-Family base zoning district is appropriate for the surrounding area.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any indication of likely adverse affects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
As the requested rezoning is consistent with the adopted South Central Land Use Plan, staff finds that the zone change request does not appear to be in conflict with any public policy.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.1894 acre parcel is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed development.
7. Other Factors:
The Conditional Use zoning procedure is designed to provide for a land use within an area that is not permitted by the established zoning district but due to individual site considerations or unique development requirements would be compatible with adjacent land uses under given conditions. The granting of the zoning shall only be for the case named in the ordinance approving the zoning district with the Specific Conditional use provisions.
