Comments:
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located west of Porter Road, south of Megan Drive and north of
Wedington Drive (Hwy 16W). The applicant is proposing to purchase the subject property in
addition to adjacent property which is currently zoned R- 1 and is not a part of the requested
rezoning. A development including both multi-family and single family dwellings is the goal of
this rezoning request.
During the past several months, the applicant has met with the neighborhood association in
which the property is located. Through these meetings and discussions, the neighborhood has
been introduced to the developer's plans and the developer has had an opportunity to better
understand concerns of the area residents.
A bill of assurance has been offered by this applicant which provides for screening, a maximum
density and other terms and conditions for a development which would result from a successful
rezoning (see attached).
Rezoning the property from R- I to RMF- 12 will increase the maximum density permitted by
ordinance from 47 units to 143 units. In the applicant's bill of assurance, the number of multi-
family dwellings for this tract is limited to 108 units (9 — 12 unit apartment buildings).
Surrounding properties include single family residences, a non-conforming mobile home park,
and apartments. There is a substantial amount of property within this site which is affected by
floodplain and floodway. At the time of development, specific issues such as lot size, access and
grading will have to be addressed concerning these areas.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING
North: Vacant / Single family homes, R- 1
South: Single family homes / Mobile home park, R- 1
East: Single family homes, R- 1
West: Apartments / Vacant, R-2 & R- 1
INFRASTRUCTURE:
This property is located north of Wedington Drive (Hwy 16W) which has recently been
H.WSERSICOMMOMDA WN71REPOR7SIPCI2001 REPORTSILINDSEYRZN01-7.DOC
improved to five lanes in this area. Access to Wedington Drive from the subject tract is from
Porter Road. Porter Road is classified a collector on the City' s adopted Master Street Plan. At
the time of development, dedication of sufficient right of way as well as possible improvements
or contributions for Porter Rd. will be addressed.
Access to water is available along Porter Rd. and an 8" sewer line is located on site. The
applicant will be responsible for ensuring that adequate utility facilities are extended to the site to
serve any proposed development.
LAND USE PLAN: General Plan 2020 designates this site Residential. Rezoning this property
to RMF- 12, Moderate Density Multi-family Residential is consistent with the land use plan and
compatible with surrounding land uses in the area.
FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
1 . A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: The proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives,
principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. The City's
adopted General Plan 2020 specifies that "this land use plan establishes a
policy for residential areas to be planned as traditional neighborhoods
containing a mix of different densities, housing types, and lot sizes."
2. A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: The proposed zoning is justified in that it is consistent with adopted land use
plans and policies of the City. It is needed in order to provide a development
in this location which is designed to provide a mix of housing types and
densities as proposed by this developer.
3 . A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed zoning will provide for an increase in potential traffic,
however with conditions placed at the time of development as needed for
street improvements and connectivity, the increase is not expected to
appreciably increase traffic danger and congestion in this area. Access to
Wedington Drive (Hwy 16W) connecting to 1-540 is available from this
subject property by way of Porter Road.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density
H. IUSERMCOMMOMDA WMREPORTSIPC12001 REPORTSILLNDSEYRZN02-IDOC
and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: The proposed zoning will allow for a more dense population on the subject
11.94 acres. The requested RMF-12 district would allow for a total of 143
units. The applicant has offered a Bill of Assurance limiting this number to
108. With current zoning in place (R-1) the property would allow for a total
of 47 dwelling units. The increase contemplated with this rezoning should
not undesirably increase the load on public services. Additional
consideration to access and use of public services (water, sewer and street
systems) will be reviewed at the time of development of the subject property.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b ( 1 ) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning
even though there are reasons tinder b ( 1 ) through (4) above why
the proposed zoning is not desirable.
