Council Report 95-117
REZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE -- 6TH AND 7TH A VENUES
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 95-53 approving a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and Ordinance 95-771 for rezoning of an area between 6th and
7th Avenues South. south of Mainstreet and north of 2nd Street South. from R-5 to R-I-A.
At the zoning and planning meeting, Mr. Hutchison moved and Mr. Day seconded a motion to
approve Resolution RZ95-15, recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and
the rezoning. The motion carried unanimously.
Overview.
In an effort to reduce the number of potential multi-family units within the City, the Planning
Commission has previously undertaken a process of amending the Comprehensive Plan to reflect
new goals for the City regarding multi-family sites. One of the goals in the Strategic Plan for
Economic Development details for Staff to review the potential multi-family sites and recommend
changes. In conjunction with this process, the Planning Commission has also reviewed several
sites in the City that are either zoned or guided for multi-family to determine if a change is
appropriate.
.
The single family area between 6th and 7th Avenue South, south of Mainstreet and north of 2nd
Street South, is currently zoned R-5, High Density Multiple Family, and guided for a high density
residential use. The existing uses are single family. This change will accomplish the following.
o Reduce the number of potential new multi-family units.
o Bring the existing uses in conformance with zoning and the Comprehensive Plan.
o Allow the Comprehensive Plan and zoning to be in agreement as relates to the future reuse of
this area.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o How is the area currently zoned?
o What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject area?
o What types of uses are in this area?
o What notification has the neighborhood received?
o What has the Planning Commission previously recommended for the site?
o Why is the Staff recommending a change?
o What is the impact of this change?
o What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary Issues to Consider.
o How is the area currently zoned?
The zoning of the property is R-S, High Density Multiple Family.
o What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as High Density Residential.
o What types of uses are in this area?
The subject area contains, for the most part, single family homes. The surrounding uses are
multi-family and business.
o What has the Planning Commission recommended for the site?
The Planning Commission, in a previous decision, recommended that the Comprehensive Plan
designation be changed from High Density Residential to Low Density Residential and rezoned the
area from R-S to R-1-A. This recommendation is based on the following.
.
o Interest to preserve single family houses.
o Reduce the amount of potential additional multi-family units in the City (64-172 units could be
added with high density residential zoning).
o What is the Staff recommendation?
Staff would also recommend that the Comprehensive Plan designation is changed from High
Density Residential to Low Density Residential and the zoning from R-5 to R-I-A.. This is the
zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation of the existing uses.
o What is the impact of this change?
As the uses in this area are single family residential, they will become conforming with the
proposed land use designation, R-I-A.
o What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Staff reviewed the proposed rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment. Helen Tatarka of 31
7th Avenue South appeared before the commission. Ms. Tatarka asked various questions of the
Commission regarding the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Alternatives
. 1. Approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning. By approving the Comprehensive
Plan amendment and rezoning, the subject site will be rezoned and the Comprehensive Plan
amended.
