Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.

The property is located within the West Sector Plan, and is currently designated as Suburban Tier in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “C-2” base zoning district is consistent with the future land use designation.

Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. The properties that are located around the subject property are predominantly commercial.

The current “R-6” base zoning district is not appropriate for the surrounding area. The majority of surrounding property is “C-2” and “C-3NA”.
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 because it has consistent uses surrounding the property.

The subject property measures 0.1722 acre which accommodates the proposed development.
7. Other Factors:
None.
