A plan has not yet been submitted, but staff anticipates each of these <br /> lots being split at or about the lagoon, creating lots to the north and south of the lagoon. Based <br /> on size and frontage, 2414 Carman could be split now, and with the proposed rezoning. <br /> Planning Staff Analysis <br /> The proposed zone change essentially continues the zoning of Casco Point to the east. Casco <br /> Point Rd is currently LR-1C. The zoning of a property is strictly a Council policy decision,though <br /> the zoning must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides <br /> the area as Urban Estate Density Residential with density at 0.5 to 2 units per acre. The current <br /> zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;the proposed zoning would be also. <br /> Section 78-43 of the city code outlines the amendment procedure. A formal application may be <br /> initiated by The Council,the Planning Commission, or"By petition of the owners of their or <br /> adjoining property, the zoning of which is proposed to be changed." The code does not <br /> require a majority of residents to support the zone change. Only the owner's agent for three <br /> of the parcels have participated in this concept application. It is recommended that a formal <br /> application include these additional property owners in some manner. <br /> The permitted uses for the LR-1B, LR-1C, and LR-1C-1 zoning districts are generally consistent, <br /> though personal wireless service towers are allowed in the LR-1C, and LR-1C-1 districts, but not <br /> in the LR-1B district. The main impact of the proposed change would be for the 4 lots (or with <br /> portions) south of the channel,the minimum lot area for these portions would reduce from 1.0 • <br /> acres to 0.5 acres. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission have any comments with the proposal? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff requests feedback. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
