Front Yard 35 feet Side Yard 10 feet Garage Side 5 feet Rear Yard 25 feet Applicable Regulations Zone Change In reviewing a proposed amendment consideration shall be given to existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly affected by the proposal, the conservation of property values, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at the time, and relevant provisions, if any, in the land use plan. The applicant has requested both a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a zone change. The zoning must align with the Comprehensive Plan guidance. For the zone change to be approved, the city must also approve the requested land use amendment. With that approval, the zone change from R- I a to R- I b would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and staff recommends approval. The recommendation for approval of the zone change includes a condition that the land use amendment also be approved. Preliminary Plat City ordinance section 30-375 outlines the required findings for approval of a Preliminary Plat. 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations (article V1 of this chapter) and conforms in all respects with all requirements of this Code, including the zoning regulations and this article. As has been noted earlier in the staff report, this is a unique project that contemplates connection to city sewer services while maintaining private water (well) service. The proposed design also mixes the seweredlnon-sewered standards for the R- I b zoning district — exceeding the minimum required lot size for a sewered lot. Other development standards, city streets, trail connections, wetland buffering, and stormwater will be accounted for and comply with all city standards. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and specialized city, county, and regional plans, including but not limited to, the city's comprehensive development plan. The subdivision requires approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a zone change. Their approvals are included as conditions for the preliminary plat. Pending Council approval of these applications, the subdivision will be consistent with all plans. 3. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and drainage are suitable for the type and density of development and uses contemplated. The physical characteristics of the site support the proposed use. Any wetland impacts will be reviewed by the city and state through the established review process. Stormwater features, including a network of roadway ditches and basins, will ensure water leaving the site, and flowing on to adjacent properties, is consistent with present day metrics. Staff have included several conditions recommending updates to the current plans, and the project will be required to meet state and local standards. 4. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation, erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements otherwise required in this article. The subdivision includes a connection to city sewer, requiring payment of a trunk utility fee. The developer will pay for all sewer lines within the boundaries of their subdivision. ERMU continues to review the project for access to water, and all water access permits will be required prior to releasing the final plat for recording. Page 139 of 381
