II. SITE DESCRIPTION

III. ANALYSIS
Surrounding Comprehensive Plan Designations
The surrounding Comprehensive Plan Map designations are MDR1-HDR2.
Surrounding Zoning
Heavy Industrial (HI) is zoned to the north
and Low-Density Residential 2 (LDR2) is
zoned to the east, south, and west. However,
there is Medium-Density Residential 2
(MDR2) zoned parcels in approximately
three hundred (300’) feet to the east and
approximately five hundred (500’) feet to the
south.
If approved, the request will result in
changing the zoning of the parcel
RPR0000007001D from Low-Density
Residential 2 (LDR2) to Medium-Density
Residential 2 (MDR2) for 1.37 acres.
The request would require the Commission
and City Council to review the proposal
against one set of criteria, for the request to
rezone. Below, staff has provided all the criteria listed by Ordinance No. 1200 (Development Code) that are
required to be addressed, followed by staff’s analysis of each criterion.
Criteria Rezone Requests (§1.04.020):
a. Be in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan Map.
b. The capacity of existing public streets, water and sewer facilities, storm drainage facilities,
solid waste collection and disposal, and other utilities.
There is capacity for water and sewer facilities. The added traffic for this parcel will not stress existing
public streets. All storm drainage will be handled on site.
c. The capacity of existing public services, including but not limited to, public safety
services, public emergency services, schools, and parks and recreational services. N/A
d. The potential for nuisances or health and safety hazards that may adversely affect

revision.

3rd N from Low-Density Residential 2 (LDR2) to Medium-Density Residential 2 (MDR2), if the Commission
finds that the proposed request is compatible with the surrounding area or in the best interest of the
neighborhood and the community.
