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