Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the <br />property. <br />Lake Drive/CSAH 23 is a minor arterial road.

This isn't just an issue about allowing for horses, goats and chickens. <br />It also entails all aspects of rural zoning rights. <br />• The City currently has over 8,000 acres of property zoned R, Rural or R-X, Rural <br />Executive which allows for the keeping of farm animals. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff does not recommend approval of the rezoning from R-1, Single Family Residential <br />to R, Rural based on the findings noted above. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. <br />Site Location Map <br />2. <br />Aerial Map <br />3. <br />Zoning Map <br />4. <br />Future Land Use Map <br />5. <br />Applicant Narrative <br />6. <br />Resident Comments <br />Co <br />
