RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (10-0) 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 Eastern Triangle Community Plan, and is currently designated as Low Density Mixed Use in the future land use component of the plan. The requested "R-5" Residential Single-Family district is consistent with the future land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-5” base zoning district is appropriate for the subject property’s location. The subject property is within a manufactured home neighborhood, and the development would fill in the vacant lot that is currently there, without hindering or changing the character of the neighborhood.
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 rezoning request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 0.208 acres in size, which would reasonably accommodate the uses permitted in "R-5" Residential Single-Family District.
7. Other Factors:
None
