FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
PROXIMITY TO REGIONAL CENTER/PREMIUM TRANSIT CORRIDOR:
The subject property is not located within a Regional Center nor within a half-mile of a Premium Transit Corridor.
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 subject property is located within the Heritage South Sector Land Use Plan and is currently designated as “Suburban Tier” in the land use component of the plan. The requested “R-6” base zoning district is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing “R-20” base zoning district is appropriate for the surrounding area. There are single-family residential uses in the immediate area on large lots.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare. The use of the property is currently used for single-family residential uses, so the request will not be changing the use of the property.
5. Public Policy:
The request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective. The request to the “R-6” base zoning district is so the property’s zoning is consistent with the Heritage South Sector Future Land Use Plan.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.50 acre site is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed development. The manufactured home currently sits on the subject property.
7. Other Factors:
The purpose of the Specific Use Authorization is to provide for certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics or potential impacts on adjacent land uses, are not generally permitted in certain zoning districts as a matter of right, but may, under the right set of circumstances and conditions be acceptable in certain specific locations.
