Memo to Planning Commission Page 3 ZC 96-5 February 27, 1996 • Evaluation of Request In order to approve a rezoning request there must be a finding that a) the plan was in error when it was adopted and therefore should be changed, or b) the times and circumstances have changed since the plan was adopted, and a change is warranted. This rezoning is being considered in order that this area will be consistent with the land use plan. The updated land use plan designated this area as MR (Medium Density Residential). The proposed rezoning to Rte (Single Family Residential) is consistent with that revised land use designation, and therefore, the second finding is met. Consideration should also be given to the existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly affected by the proposal, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at the time and the relevant portions of the land use plan. This proposed rezoning should not have an adverse impact on the adjacent properties. This rezoning would be consistent with other residential areas of the City that are within the urban service area and would be compatible with the • adjacent Ma zone to the north, south and east as well as the current Ric zone to the west. Recommendation Staff can recommend approval of the proposed rezoning from Ma (Single Family Residential) to Rte (Single Family Residential) based on the following: 1. The proposed rezoning will be consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of MR (Medium Density Residential). 2. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent land uses and zoning. 3. The proposed rezoning will be consistent with the recent expansion of the urban service area and is reflective of the residential density usually associated with municipal services. • s:\planning\scott\zc96-5.doc
