Memo to the Planning Commission/ZC 96-615 Page 3 <br /> August 27, 1996 <br /> • Ramsey and reinforce the semi-rural character that the City is trying to <br /> preserve. <br /> The proposed zoning boundaries also follow property lines as much as <br /> possible. The current zoning boundaries result in 8 properties with split <br /> zoning; the proposed zoning boundaries result in just one lot with two zoning <br /> classifications. <br /> Recommendation <br /> It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> attached Resolution No. 96- amending the Land Use Plan based on the <br /> following findings: <br /> 1. The amendment to the Land Use Map is consistent with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan in that: <br /> a) The long range plan for industrial development calls for industrial <br /> development opportunities in the southeast sector of the city. <br /> b) The area under consideration for light industrial land use <br /> designation is adjacent to other industrial zoned property and/or <br /> • <br /> has access to Highway 10, which can provide for the adequate <br /> transportation needs required for industrial development. <br /> c) By concentrating the highway commercial development near the <br /> intersection of Jarvis Street, strip or scattered site commercial <br /> development can be limited. <br /> d) The LR (Low Density Residential) land use would aid in controlling <br /> commercial strip development in the area and help preserve the <br /> semi-rural character on the community. <br /> It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> attached Ordinance No.96- rezoning certain properties from C3 <br /> (Highway Commercial) to I1 (Light Industrial), C3 (Highway Commercial) to <br /> Rla (Single Family Residential) and Rla (Single Family Residential) to I1 <br /> (Light Industrial) based on the following findings: <br /> 1. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan <br /> designations of LI (Light Industrial) and LR (Low Density <br /> Residential). <br /> • <br /> s:\planning\scott\zc96-15.doc <br />
