RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends 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 an area that currently does not have a plan.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. Staff recognizes the “C-2” zoning on adjacent single-family residences next to the subject property. It is ideal that the subject property and eventually the neighboring land be downzoned to residential zoning.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “C-2” base zoning district is inappropriate, as the current urban fabric of the neighborhood primarily consists of single-family residences.
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, as there is no designated plan for this area.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 0.1101 acres in size, which will reasonably accommodate the uses permitted in “R-4” Residential Single-Family District.
7. Other Factors:
None.
