RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (7-0) 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 Arena District/ Eastside Community Plan and is currently designated as “Medium Density Residential”. The requested base zoning district of “R-6” is consistent with the current 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 as it supports the plan goal to establish a land use pattern that is responsive to the existing context.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “I-1” base zoning district is inappropriate for the surrounding area. The majority of surrounding property is residential.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare: Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
Staff finds that the request is not contrary to any stated public policy objective, as the plan calls for medium density residential land uses.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.1552 acre tract is of sufficient size for an “R-6”.
7. Other Factors:
None.
