Haas Zoning Amendment <br />Page 3 <br />2. The proposed zoning classification is appropriate for the property given the topographic, <br />environmental and cultural limitations of the site. <br />The property consists of a single family home and is primarily natural vegetation and <br />wetlands. While the property is not used for traditional agricultural pursuits, is does <br />contain high quality natural areas and trees. The Agricultural zoning would be <br />appropriate for the property. <br />3. Existing public infrastructure is adequate to handle the development that can reasonable <br />be foreseen on the site. <br />The property is served by well and septic. Municipal sewer and water is not available to <br />this area of the City. By changing the zoning from LA to AG, the minimum lot size <br />would change from 40 acres to 10 acres. Because the subject property does not have <br />frontage on a public road, any splitting of the property would require a variance. <br />No development is proposed on the site and the existing access to the property is <br />adequate for the use. <br />4. The proposed zoning classification will not have unreasonable negative impacts on <br />adjacent properties. <br />The rezoning will not negatively impact the adjacent properties. The property will remain <br />in agricultural and open space uses consistent with other properties in the zoning district. <br />S. The floodplain designation on the official zoning map shall not be removed from <br />floodplain areas unless it can be shown that the designation is in error or that the area <br />has been filled to or above the elevation of the regulatory flood protection elevation and <br />is contiguous to lands outside the floodplain. <br />The floodplain areas are not proposed to be impacted. <br />6. RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff finds the application meets the criteria outlined in the City Code and recommends approval <br />of the zoning amendment request to rezone from the Long Term Agricultural Zoning District to <br />the Agricultural Zoning District for the property located at 15500 Keystone Avenue North. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
