AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. To provide non-binding feedback on a concept change of zoning for properties generally <br />east of Carman Street. <br /> <br />2. Background. Over the last year or so, the applicant has prepared a number of sketch plan concepts <br />to subdivide 2474 and 2480 Carman Street into two lots each; the City Council has consistently reacted to <br />those proposals negatively, with concern about creating non-conforming lots as part of a platting project. <br /> <br />3. Proposal. The applicant proposes rezoning the 7 parcels east of Carman Street to LR-1C, which is a <br />½ acre minimum lot size zoning district. This would allow the two parcels identified earlier to be split <br />without a variance. The LR-1C zoning would continue the zoning established for Casco Point to the east. <br />About half of the subject area is already zoned LR-1C-1, which is a ½ acre zone. <br /> <br />The land use policy is established by the City Council via the comprehensive plan. The zoning ordinance <br />and map should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Both the existing zoning (LR-1C-1 and LR- <br />1B) and the proposed zone change (LR-1C) are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The attached <br />Staff report to the Planning Commission (Exhibit A) provides additional analysis. <br /> <br />4. Planning Commission Comment. On September 20th, the Planning Commission reviewed the <br />concept. The Commissioners generally seemed supportive of the zone change, noting that it solves the <br />problem of mixed zoning in the area, and would allow for further development. Commissioner Gettman, <br />questioned the public benefit of the change. <br /> <br />5. Public Comment. No comments for or against the proposal have been received. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council provide feedback. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />City Council should provide feedback. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A.
