Council regarding whether or not the property should or should not be rezoned based on the criteria
found in section §1.04.020.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
The property is located on the south side of Nina Dr on block 13, lot 4 in the Ricks-Palmer
Subdivision Division 4. The property is adjacent to the Mill Hollow Trailer Community. The total
area for the lot is 0.2 acres.
III. ANALYSIS
If approved the request will result in changing the parcel from Low-Density Residential 2 (LDR2) to
Medium-Density Residential 1 (MDR1).
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 Comprehensive Plan is in conformance with the proposed change.
b. The capacity of existing public streets, water and sewer facilities, storm drainage facilities, solid
waste collection and disposal, and other utilities.
The city has adequate capacities to service this request.
c. The capacity of existing public services, including but not limited to, public safety services,
public emergency services, schools, and parks and recreational services.

properties.
The parking would need to be behind the structure for an MDR zone.
e. Recent changes in land use on adjoining properties or in the neighborhood of the map revision.
The Stonebridge DIV2 Final Plat was amended in 2017 (17-00161). The Madison County School
District Junior High to the east was rezoned to Public Facilities (PF) in 2019 (19-00093). N Hill
Rd & 829 S 5th W were also annexed into the city, where they were previously an island within
city limits and zoned Rural Residential 1 (RR1) (19-00169). In 2020, 790 & 796 Barney Dairy R
were rezoned to LDR2. Stonebridge DIV2 is finishing their infrastructure (22-00311).
f. Meets the requirements of the Development Code.
The request meets the requirements of the Development Code.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that Planning and Zoning consider the rezone of 742 Nina Dr, from Low-Density
Residential 2 (LDR2) to Medium-Density Residential 1 (MDR1), 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.
