Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Land Use Category: “Low Density Mixed Use”
Description of Land Use Category:
Provides a mix of low intensity residential and commercial uses. May be located in adjacent lots or integrated in one structure. The mix of uses within a block or building should promote compatibility between commercial and residential uses. Shared parking located to the rear of structures, limited curb cuts and monument signs encouraged. Building and architectural design of a mixed use development should stress quality, including open space, landscaping, and a safe, attractive, and pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment. Examples include professional/personal services, shop front re-tail with restaurants, cafes, and gift shops
Permitted Zoning Districts: R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6, RM-4, RM-5, RM-6, MF-18, NC, C-1, IDZ, TOD, MXD, UD, O-1, FBZD
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Land Use Category: “Mixed Use”
Description of Land Use Category:
Mixed Use allows for a concentrated, well structured, and integrated blend of higher density residential, retail, professional services, office, entertainment, and other land uses. The integration of uses should occur within structures, as well as across the site, with commercial uses situated primarily along the higher order roadways, and on the ground floor level of individual structures. Shared parking located near the rear of the facilities, accessory dwelling and live/work units are encouraged.
Mixed Use is preferred along arterials, preferably in a nodal pat-tern with proximity to a major transit stop or node. Mixed Use exceeding 40 dwelling units per acre should be located on primary arterials or higher order roadways. When placed along a higher order roadway, the mixed use development should de-crease in density with distance from the roadway. Building and architectural design of a mixed use development should stress quality, including open space, landscaping, and a safe, attractive, and pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment.

Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff recommends Denial. The Planning Commission (6-2) recommends Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from “Low Density Mixed Use” to “Mixed Use” is requested in order to rezone the property to "C-2 CD AHOD" Commercial Airport Hazard Overlay District with a Conditional Use for Auto Rental. This is not consistent with the Government Hill Neighborhood Plan’s call for “Mixed Use” uses such as Commercial or more intense uses, to be located adjacent to single family residential. If the applicant opts to amend their request to “C-1 CD”, they can request to rezone within the current “Low Density Mixed Use” land use classification.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the Government Hill Neighborhood Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
