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 Kelly/South San Pueblo Community Plan and is currently designated as Low Density Residential. The requested “R-6 CD” base zoning district is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The original zone for the property was “B” Residence District and three dwelling units currently exist within the property. The applicant is seeking compliance with the current zoning district. The proposed rezoning to “R-6 CD” with a Conditional Use for three (3) dwelling units is appropriate for the subject property. There several similar uses within the residential neighborhood. The development of the subject property with these zoning districts contributes towards the Kelly/South San Pueblo Community Plan vision of compatibility and purpose of the plan. There are “RM-4” Residential Mixed uses in the area which presently have four (4) dwelling units.
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 0.1710 acres in size, which accommodates the proposed development with adequate space for parking.
7. Other Factors:
None.
