Zone Change, Custom Motors Page 3 <br /> March 22, 1994 <br /> • residential for that area lying north of Highway 10 towards the City's <br /> western limits. With growing interest for development in the western part of <br /> the City, it is appropriate to establish land use and zoning designations to <br /> prevent conflicts with upcoming planning applications. <br /> AMORTIZATION PERIOD <br /> If the Planning Commission and City Council approve the requested <br /> rezoning, a five year amortization period will begin for the operation of <br /> Custom Motors' (south parcel). On the other hand, it is not exactly clear <br /> what type of activity, when uses were established, if lot splits were approved, <br /> or when the existing single family home was built on the northerly parcel. <br /> Regardless of these issues, the northerly parcel is either currently non- <br /> conforming or will become non-conforming and an amortization period of 40 <br /> years will begin. I hope to have more information related to this issue <br /> available at Tuesday's meeting. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of rezoning <br /> • the 15 acre site from Il (Light Industrial) to R1b (Single Family Residential) <br /> based on the following findings: <br /> 1. The rezoning to Rlb is in compliance with the adopted Comprehensive <br /> Land Use Plan designation of MDR (Medium Density Residential). <br /> 2. The increased development interest on the western part of the <br /> community signifies a change in the times and conditions whereby the <br /> City needs to consider establishing the appropriate land use and <br /> zoning designations. <br /> 3. The requested rezoning will establish continuity and compatibility <br /> with development that is occurring on both the east and west sides of <br /> the subject property and eliminate the island of light industrial zoning <br /> from this area. <br /> • <br /> pczccm.doc <br />
