Bruggeman page 4 The proposed phasing plan for this project has fewer lots per year than the target of 50 units per phase. It is closer to the policy than the other two projects with phasing plans for 2003 and 2004. It would fall within the growth management goals if the City Council agrees to utilize the 20% flexibility. The first project to be approved in 2003 under the phasing plan policy, Century Farm North, exceeds the 50 -per -phase goal by a significant amount in year 2004. That project had been undergoing review for over a year and was, in effect, caught between the old and new policies. There was no formal growth policy in place before, and now there is. At any rate, that project did fall within both the MUSA and 147 units restrictions, with the 20% flexibility. The Bruggeman project is the first project under the new growth policy that has multiple phases and meets the annual target for an individual project's phasing plan. It is within the existing MUSA and does not require infrastructure extension or MUSA reserve acres. Rezoning Most of the site currently is zoned R-1. The northwest portion of the site is zoned R-3. The proposed commercial lot is smaller than the area currently zoned R-3. Therefore, the area to be rezoned R-3 PUD includes land currently zoned both R-1 and R-3. If rezoned as proposed, the new commercial lot will be Limited Business. The rest of the site will be in the R-3 PUD zone. The zoning ordinance requires that, for a zoning amendment application: The Planning and Zoning Board shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgement shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: 1. 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. The project complies with in the comprehensive plan, as reflected by the land use map: the site is guided for Medium Density Residential and Commercial uses. In fact, the current zoning is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and the proposed rezoning would correct the inconsistency. The project is consistent with the growth management policy if the 20% flexibility is considered. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
