Land Use Policies: <br />Policy 2: A variety of residential development types is <br />desirable and shall be encouraged in the community. <br />Particular areas of the City shall be designated for each of <br />the desired housing types which range from multi -family <br />residential to rural (rural density single family). <br />Policy 5: Where possible, land uses will be grouped together, <br />according to similarity of their characteristics, in order to <br />minimize potential negative impacts. Where conflicting land <br />uses must be located adjacent to one another, steps will be <br />taken to minimize the potential negative impacts. <br />Policy 6: Urban development will be encouraged to locate <br />within the areas of the community where public investments <br />(streets, utilities, police and fire protection, parks, etc.) <br />have already been provided to meet the needs of existing <br />development. This policy will be promoted in an effort to <br />maximize benefit from existing public investments. <br />Policy 7: Areas of the City adjacent to existing sewered <br />areas will be designated as (sewer service) expansion <br />residential area. The City shall influence the type and <br />design of developments so as to allow for practical, feasible <br />future sewer extension into the area. <br />2 Land Use Compatibility. The area to be rezoned abuts R -1X <br />zoning designation to the north and east. The proposed site <br />is intended to be blended into the balance of the Pheasant <br />Hills subdivision. No compatibility problems are anticipated. <br />3. Impact on Property Values. The R -1X zoning is similar to the <br />existing Pheasant Hills subdivision. The plat design and <br />zoning performance standards will serve to preserve the value <br />of the adjacent,properties. <br />4. Traffic Impact. The proposed rezoning of 8.5 acres from PSP <br />to R -1X will result in the creation of 15 single family lots. <br />The site is accessed via County Road 10, a City arterial <br />street. This street has adequate capacity to accommodate the <br />entire 36 lot subdivision. <br />5 Infrastructure Impact. The proposed subdivision complies with <br />the City infill policy. The site has access to municipal <br />sewer and water. No capacity problems are anticipated by the <br />rezoning and proposed plat. <br />Blocks. The City Subdivision Ordinance stipulates that the maximum <br />length of blocks shall be 6,500 feet. The longest block presented <br />in this proposal is 1,180 feet lone, which is well within City <br />regulations. <br />3 <br />
