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 property is located within the Heritage South Sector Plan and is designated as General Urban Tier. The requested "MH" 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 surrounding properties in relation to this zoning request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing “R-4” zoning district is appropriate for the subject property. However, the requested mobile home use is not permitted under the “R-4” zoning designation. The property currently sits vacant and is located adjacent other single-family dwellings and manufactured homes, and will not conflict with surrounding uses.
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. The requested land use adheres to the Heritage South Sector Plan by providing land uses that are compatible with neighboring properties that preserve natural and cultural resources, neighborhood character, and economic viability.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property is 0.516 acres in size, which accommodates the proposed development for mobile home uses.
7. Other Factors:
None.
