The <br />parcel in question is shown on the zoning map below left, and the 2040 Future Land Use <br />map, below right. The property consists of approximately 11 acres after the subdivision of <br />the westerly 4+ acres for development of a senior housing project. <br />Zoning Map 2040 Future Land Use Map <br />The 2040 Comprehensive Plan describes High Density Residential as a land use category <br />that would expect to the developed at densities between 20 and 40 units per acre. The Low <br />Density Residential category is expected to be developed at densities between 2 and 4 units <br />per acre. The plan includes a “Medium Density” category with a range from 4 to 20 units <br />per acre. <br />The applicant seeks a Low Density designation as being consistent with the long-standing <br />zoning of the property as R-1, Single Family Residential. For clarity, it is important to note <br />the differences between Land Use designation and zoning. <br />Land Use refers to the general type and intensity of use. Zoning is a specific designation <br />that manages the use, and extent of developed land. <br />For Zoning Map amendments (rezoning), the City conducts a public hearing by the Planning <br />Commission, after which the zoning amendment is considered by the City Council as an <br />ordinance. If approved, it is adopted and the map is amended.
