Council regarding whether or not the property should or should not be changed on the
Comprehensive Plan Map based on the criteria found in
section §1.04.020.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The property is located south of Mariah Ave. and is
bordered one side by Handcart Ln on the east and Pioneer
Rd. on the west. The property is part of the Pioneer
Village subdivision. There are single-family townhomes
to the northwest and multi-family apartments to the
northeast and west. A school is located to the east and
commercial is to the south. The Comprehensive Plan Map
designates all the surrounding land as Commercial/Mixed
Use and MDR1-HDR2. High-Density Residential 1
(HDR1) zoned parcels are located to the north, east, and
west from the requested property. The property for this
application is 1.458 acres.
III. ANALYSIS
If approved the request will result in changing
the Comprehensive Plan Map from the current
designation of Commercial/Mixed Use to
MDR1-HDR2. The request would require the
Commission and City Council to review the
proposal and approve or deny this application.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that this Comprehensive
Plan Map change be considered. The Planning
and Zoning Commission should take testimony
in public hearing to determine if the request is
in the best interest of the neighborhood and the
community.
