RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (6-0) recommend Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from
“Low Density Residential” and “Parks / Open Space” to “Low Density Residential” is requested in order to rezone the property to “R-5” Residential Single-Family. This is consistent with the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan’s objective for Low Density Residential uses to be located away from major arterials. “Low Density Residential” allows for single family residential development of a residential subdivision.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the I-10 East Corridor Perimeter Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
