to rezone many sites and areas to reflect the uses on the sites and areas. The subject area was
not identified, but should have been. The area on 10`h Avenue 5auth between Sixth and
Seventh Streets is currently zoned R-2 and R-3, but consists of single and two-family homes.

Primarv Issues to Consider
• How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
Tl�e Comprehensive P�an has designated the area as Mediurn Density Residentia�. With the
proposed zoning change, the zoning and the Cornprehensive Plan designation will be
consistent.

Residential designation?
Mediurn Dens�ty residential has a density of 8-16 units per acre. An example wauld be
t�wnhomes. Low density residential has a density of 1-7 units per acre, which i� a single
and two-iamily density.
+ What was the discussian at #he Zonrng and Flanning meeting?
Ms. Andersan reviewed the proposed changes to the Gomprehensive Plan. No one appeared
at the public hearin�; regarding this item.
Alternatives

arnendmetlt, the area will remain designated Medium Density Residential. If the
zaning is changed and the Comprehensive Plan amendment is not approved, the
zonin� and Comprehensive Plan will not be consistent.
