The purpose of the comprehensive plan is to establish a framework and expectations as to the future use <br />of land. The comprehensive plan guides the subject property for urban residential uses, and the <br />maximum density allowed by the R -2b zoning will not exceed the recommended density. <br />Properties within a half mile of the subject property are guided (comp plan) for residential uses and are <br />zoned residential. The home has been used as a triplex for many years, and the zone change brings the <br />parcel into compliance. <br />Spot zoning is always a consideration when looking at a small rezoning application. Standards define spot <br />zoning as "the process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification totally different from <br />that of the surrounding area for the benefit of the owner of such property and to the detriment of other <br />owners." The comprehensive plan notes that densities up to eight dwelling units per acre are encouraged <br />in the urban residential zones. The plan also identifies R -2b as an existing district appropriate for the <br />zone, and calls out townhomes and multi - family uses. <br />In the review of the standards for a Zone Change as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent <br />with all of these standards. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Statutory Review Period <br />Per State Statute 15.99 the required 60 day review period ends on April 28, 2017. <br />Council Meeting <br />If acted on, this item will go to the April 17, 2017, City Council meeting. <br />Attachments <br />• Location Map <br />• Applicant's Narrative <br />• Site Plan <br />N: \Departments \Community Development \Planning \Case Files \ZC \ZC 17 -02 Dale Beaudry \4Planning Commission \ZC 17 -02 sr PC 3-28 - <br />17.docx <br />
