<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resolution 656-0 I <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />The subjcct propcrties are located at the corner of Long Lakc Road and County Road I, a <br />busy intcrscction in the center of the City. Thcrc arc twinhomcs located on the north side <br />of County Road 1 on either side of the subject property, a homc based dog kennel and <br />grooming business across thc strcct and higher density uscs across the street on the south <br />side of County Road I. A rczoning to highcr density rcsidcntial use would not be <br />inappropriatc givcn the higher volumes of traffic and the existing uscs. <br /> <br />3. The proposcd rczoning \vould have little impact on the ncighborhood, as the area is <br />dominated by higher density residcntial and highcr dcnsity commcrcial uscs in an area <br />that experiences higher volumcs of vehicular traffic. Thus. a deprcciation of the <br />ncighborhood would not be expected. <br /> <br />4. While 29 pcrccnt of the thvelling units in Mounds Vicw are non-homcstcadcd, there <br />remains a demand for alternative housing options in thc City. Onc ofthc goals of the <br />Comprehensive Plan, both current and proposed, is that the City should maintain a broad <br />and full choicc of housing opportunities and cncourage examplcs oflife-cyc1e housing. <br />Higher density housing at this corner fronting County Road I would satisfy a need and <br />would be in keeping with the Plan's housing goals and policies. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED, based upon the above Iindings of fact, the <br />information and documents regarding the proposal, the report drafted by staff and the tcstimony <br />of the applicant, and in consideration ofthc public testimony given at the public hearing, the <br />Planning Commission does hereby recommend to thc City Council approval ofthc rczoning <br />request as shown on the attached Exhibit A, subject to the following: <br /> <br />I.
