PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT
The Inwood Watertower property is required to be property zoned in order to be in compliance with the
grant program supporting a portion of the project’s funding.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
City Staff and the Planning Commission are requesting the City Council consider the rezoning of the
Inwood Watertower site from RR -Rural Residential Zoning District to PF - Public Facilities Zoning
District. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval with the following motion:
“Move to approve Ordinance 08-134, rezoning of the Inwood Watertower site, PID#28.029.21.42.0003, from the RR – Rural Residential Zoning District to the PF - PF – Public or Semi-Public Zoning District based on the findings presented in the staff report”
BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
The City purchased the 1.44 acre parcel for the construction of the Inwood Watertower which is
part of the system designed to provide municipal water service to development along the I-94
corridor. The property is presently zoned RR - Rural Residential District. The Watertower is a
public facility, and an essential service by definition. According to the Comprehensive Plan,
public facilities are guided toward the Public Facilities zoning district.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 11, 2016. There was no one from the public at
the hearing to speak in favor, nor against the rezoning. There were no emails or phone calls in favor, nor
against the rezoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment with the following motion:
“Move to approve Ordinance 08-134, rezoning of the Inwood Watertower site,
PID#28.029.21.42.0003, from the RR – Rural Residential Zoning District to the PF - PF – Public or Semi-
Public Zoning District based on the findings presented in the staff report”
