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 the North Sector Plan, and is currently designated as Suburban Tier in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “C-2” Commercial base zoning 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 “MF-18” base zoning district is appropriate for the surrounding area. The majority of surrounding property is “C-2”, “C-3” and “MF-33”.
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, because it is consistent with the North Sector Plan.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 2.47 acres in size, will reasonably accommodate the uses permitted in “C-2” Commercial District.
7. Other Factors:
The SAWS report has classified the subject property as Category 2. SAWS staff recommends approval of the zoning request with an impervious cover limitation of 65%.
