Page 3-17 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan details the City's Growth Management Strategy. The strategy works in conjunction with the City's utility staging plan. The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5-year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. From 2010 to 2024, the City's average annual number of units is 123. This is less the allowed 230 unit annual allocation. The proposed 58 lot development would be consistent with the growth management strategy. Current Zoning and Land Use Current Zoning R, Rural Current Land Use Agricultural Future Land Use per Low Density Residential and Urban Reserve lure Comp Plan Utility Staging Area Stage 1B (2025-2030) Stage 3 (Post 2040) Rezoning The property is currently zoned R, Rural. The R, Rural zoning is a holding district until municipal water and sanitary sewer are available to the site and the property owner is interested in having the property developed. Initial staff meetings with the developer indicated the possible need for PUD, Planned Unit Development zoning to allow for lot width and lot depth flexibility. However, it appears both the 60 lot -Yield Plan (60 ft wide lots) and the 58 lot Concept Plan (65ft wide lots) meet the minimum R-2, Two Family Residential zoning requirements; therefore, PUD rezoning is not needed. Per City Code Section 1007.112(1), land that is guided low density residential may be zoned R-2. The following table analyzes the R-2 requirements for the single family lots in the proposed Yield Plan and Concept Plan. Proposed Proposed R Yield Plan Concept Plan Requirements (60 lots) (58 lots) Min. Lot Size 7,500 sf 7,500 — 21,159 sf 7,825 — 21,159 sf Min.
