Comprehensive Plan Relationships, Zoning Issues: As the Planning Commission is well aware, the Subject Property is located within the Highway 12 Corridor Study Area. Since that study was adopted by the City as a formal amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commissi^n should refer to that document for -eview of pertinent comprehensive planning issues. This property is discussed on pages 49 through 52. This application includes only the northern portion of the Rebers site, although some preliminary sketches have been shared with the City that illustrate the future development of the southern portion as well. The Highway 12 Corridor Study anticipated the develcpment of single-family residential lots on the: northern portion of the site and that is what is being applied for in this request. The recommended alternative states that the density should not exceed L5 lots, which is the number shown on the proposed plat. Therefore, at the most basic level, this request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The remainder of the discussion in the Corridor Study focused on traffic and stormwater management issues. Both of those issues will be addressed at the point at which the southern portion of t`'e site is developed. Zoning Issues The area contained •.-thin -' •.&v 12 Corridor Study is subject to the proposed Soo gum Requirements for Rezoning that have been revie,. the Planning Commission and will be reviewed by the City Council at an upcoming meeting.
