Primary Issues to Consider.
0 How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Low Density Residential. There is a
requirement that the Comprehensive Plan and zoning be consistent. With the proposed
zoning change, the zoning and the Comprehensive Plan designation will be consistent.
What is the difference between the Low Density Residential and Mixed Use
designation?
A low density residential is used fin• single family housing. Mixed Use zoning allows a
variety of uses both residential and commercial. Mitch of the area around the light rail
station is designated for mixed use and will be rezoned in the future.
0 What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Don Nelson
appeared at the public hearing; Mr. Nelson was concerned about the amount of apartment
buildings being constructed. Doug Holmes from Oxford Street also spoke, opposing the
proposed development.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment. By approving the Comprehensive Plan
amendment, the apartment building will be able to be constructed.
2. Deny the Comprehensive Plan amendment. By denying the Comprehensive Plan
amendment the apartment building as proposed will not be able to be constructed as
proposed. If the zoning is changed and the Comprehensive Plan amendment is not
approved, the zoning and Comprehensive Plan will not be consistent.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.
