ISSUES ANALYSIS Rezoning As noted previously, a rezoning of the western portion of the subject site from R-4/PDO to an R-1 designation will ultimately be necessary to accommodate the single family home component of the proposed development. While it is recognized that a formal rezoning application is pending, it is considered appropriate to examine the rezoning issue as it will impact ultimate land uses in the area and design of the proposed multiple family component. In August of 1992, the City rezoned the entire site from an R-1 designation to the current R- 4/PDO designation in anticipation of a 90 unit senior housing project. The current submission represents a change from the originally considered development proposal in that a single family residential component is now being offered. Single family homes are not permitted under the property's current R-4 zoning. Judgement Criteria. In review of rezoning requests, the Planning Commission and City Council should consider its possible adverse effects. Judgement should be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. c. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. d. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. e. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. Comprehensive Plan. The City's Land Use Plan (attached as Exhibit B) designates the subject site as "urban residential" or low density single family development. The intent of the urban residential designation is to provide a development density which will provide a high level of public services (sewer, water, parks, police, fire). Acknowledging the proposed use's consistency with the City's Land Use Plan, the proposed R-1 zoning designation is consistent with the provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 4
