Primajy_j§§M�qLto Consider.
What is the Comprehensive Plan designation, and what is the zoning of the
subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Low Density Residential. The site is
zoned R-2, Low Density Multiple Family. The Comprehensive Plan designation and zoning
will have to be changed for this development to proceed.
0 What does the Mixed Use zoning allow?
The Mixed Use zoning allows residential as a permitted use.
0 Should the site be rezoned from R-2 to Mixed Use?
The building as proposed is not allowed in the R-2 zoning district, which does not allow
multiple -family dwellings. The option is to rezone to R-5, High Density Multiple Family or
Mixed Use. In looking at the ordinances, the proposed building is more in conformance with
the Mixed Use zoning.
0 What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the rezoning from R-2 to Mixed Use. No one
appeared at the public hearing.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the rezoning. By approving the rezoning, the property will be rezoned to Mixed
Use.
2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the property will not be rezoned to Mixed
Use. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that
support this alternative,
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further inf'ori-nation is
needed, the item should be continued.
