Hillside Estates 4th, Zone Change Page 2 <br /> June 28, 1994 <br /> • <br /> Development zoning will allow a plat to be designed with varying lots sizes to <br /> fit within the constraints mentioned. <br /> As stated in the zoning ordinance, the purpose of the R1e zoning district is to <br /> provide a single family residential zoning district that has access to City <br /> utilities and possess significant natural features. A majority of the 240 acres <br /> covered by the concept plan by Riverside Development meets these <br /> guidelines. However, the subject 40 acres is not as heavily wooded as the <br /> balance. Therefore, the Planned Unit Development zoning will allow reduced <br /> lot sizes in these unwooded areas and larger lots on future phases as the <br /> development extends back into the wooded areas. The whole concept of the <br /> Planned Unit Development zoning is to allow for flexible lot sizes that vary <br /> according to the natural features that exist on site. When development of the <br /> 240 acre area is completed, varying lot sizes will exist having an average of <br /> roughly 16,000 - 18,000 square feet. <br /> COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN <br /> The current land use designation is MR (Medium Density Residential). This <br /> land use is appropriate and consistent with the requested rezoning. <br /> II RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of <br /> Riverside Development's request to rezone approximately forty (40) acres <br /> from Rle (Single Family Residential) to Planned Unit Development based on <br /> the following: <br /> 1. THE REZONING TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS <br /> CONTINGENT UPON THE PROPOSED PLAT BEING APPROVED BY <br /> THE CITY COUNCIL. <br /> 2. THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING WILL ALLOW FOR <br /> VARIATION IN LOT SIZES ACCORDING TO THE SURROUNDING <br /> NATURAL FEATURES. <br /> 3. THE REZONING TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WILL BE <br /> CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP <br /> DESIGNATION OF MR (MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL). <br /> 4. THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING DESIGNATION <br /> ALLOWING A VARIATION OF LOT SIZES WILL KEEP IN SPIRIT <br /> WITH THE INTENT OF THE R1E ZONING DISTRICT TO MAINTAIN <br /> LARGER LOT SIZES WITHIN THE WOODED AREAS. <br /> III <br /> hillzc.pc <br />
