Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to continue the Public Hearing to the February 11, 2004 regular Planning & Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 4 -0. E. PUBLIC HEARING for Rezone, 4 -acre property at NE corner of Lake Drive and Aqua Lane Chair Schaps opened the public hearing at 9:35 p.m. Staff stated a recent development application has brought to light an inconsistency between the comprehensive plan and the zoning on the property. When this occurs, the inconsistency must be corrected. This rezoning was initiated by the City to address the inconsistency. Staff noted the subject site is four acres of property at the northeast corner of Lake Drive and Aqua Lane, adjacent to the existing Marshan Lake Condominiums. The entire Marshan Lake Condominiums site and the remaining four -acres along Lake Drive is guided Medium Density Residential. This allows a density of 3 -6 units per acre. Staff stated the site is zoned R -4, a high - density zone. This is not consistent with the comprehensive plan's Medium Density classification. To address this inconsistency, either the comprehensive plan or the zoning should be changed. Based on the recommendation of the P & Z and the City Council work session discussions, the site should be rezoned to R -3. Staff has prepared an amendment to the zoning ordinance to rezone the site to R -3 to bring it into conformance with the comprehensive plan. Staff presented their analysis and recommended approving the rezoning from R -4 High Density to R -3 Medium Density. DRAFT MINUTES
