<br />Planning CommissioH, Jacobson <br />August 23, 1994 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />-----~--------------------------------------- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />high when compared with other areas in the moratorium zone. Subdividing <br />the subject property would not substantially increase the overall density of <br />the general area. <br /> <br />The interim moratorium ordinance was adopted to protect the integrity of the <br />comprehensive planning process by ensuring that development within the <br />area will not prevent the extension of utilities in these areas. Because the <br />subject site is surrounded by 2 1/2 acres lots, not allowing further subdivision <br />of this site would do little to minimize the overall impact and cost of future <br />extension of City services to this specific area. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION <br /> <br />If this request is apptoved, Mr.Jacobson will still be required to go through <br />the administrative subdivision process. If the property is further subdivided, <br />potential buyers should be made aware that this property may have City <br />services in the future and that the house placement should be planned with <br />future subdivisions in mind. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br />ordinance amendment exempting Lot 4, Block 4, Oak Meadows, from the <br />interim ordinance establishing a moratorium on certain properties within the <br />eastern area of the City based on the following findings: <br /> <br />1. Oak Meadows is already developediIltoapproximately two and <br />one-half acre parcels and allowmgLot 4, Block4,Oak'Meadirws, <br />to be further subdivided would not significantly impact the <br />extension and costs of City services in this area. <br /> <br />2. A pattern of development has been established in the area with <br />the platting of Oak Meadows. The proposed subdivision of Lot <br />4, Block 4, Oak Meadows would be consistent with that pattern <br />and the City would still have review authority over the <br />administrative subdivision to consider the effects on the <br />potential future extension of utilities. <br /> <br />3. This ordinance amendment will not compromise the integrity <br />and intent of the moratorium. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />jacobson.pc <br />
