Comprehensive Land Use Categories

Land Use Category:  “Business Park”

Description of Land Use Category:

A Business Park provides employment or civic uses interspersed with open space areas and pedestrian walkways in campus settings. This section is designed for business uses which operate in enclosed facilities in such a manner that no negative impact is created outside of the boundaries of the business park. Business parks should be separated from residential areas with landscaping areas and should feature controls on lighting and signage. Business park uses include corporate offices, light manufacturing, and warehouse uses. Accessory uses may include onsite cafeterias, daycare facilities, incidental retail, other uses for the convenience and service of occupants of the business park. Permitted Zoning Districts: C-2, C-3, C-1, C-2P, C-3, O-1, O-1.5, BP

 

Comprehensive Land Use Categories

Land Use Category:  “Medium Density Residential”

Description of Land Use Category:

Medium Density Residential includes Single Family Residential Development on one lot including townhomes and zero lot line configurations, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Recommended development densities should not exceed 18 dwelling units per acre. This form of development should be located along collectors or residential roads, and may serve as a buffer between low density residential and more intense land uses, such as commercial. Low Density Residential uses are also permitted. Certain nonresidential uses, such as schools, places of worship and parks, are appropriate within these areas and should be centrally located to provide easy accessibility. Permitted Zoning Districts: R-3, RM-4, RM-5, RM-6, MF-18

Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor

The subject property is not located within a Regional Center and is not within a ½ a mile of a Premium Transit Corridor.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (7-0) recommend Approval.

 

The proposed land use amendment from “Business Park” to “Medium Density Residential” is requested in order to rezone the property to “MF-18” Limited Density Multi-Family District.  This is consistent with the Camelot I Plan for “Medium Density Residential” uses to be located along collectors or residential roads, and may serve as a buffer between low density residential and more intense land uses, such as commercial.  The lots fronting Dial Ike are primarily vacant.  The commercial/industrial uses that surround the development have access from other streets, making this area along Dial Ike isolated for multifamily development.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

1.                     Recommend denial of the proposed amendment.

2.                     Make an alternate recommendation.

3.                     Continue to a future date.
