The amendment reguides 2.52 acres from Mixed Use (4-15 units/acre) to Medium Density Residential (3-7 units/acre). The proposal is located at 2535 and 2545 Shadywood Road, and the reguiding would support the development of 7 single family homes on the larger 3.67 -acre site. Council staff finds the amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Administrative Review Guidelines revised by the Council on July 28, 2010. The proposed amendment does not affect official forecasts or the City's ability to accommodate its share of the region's affordable housing need. Therefore, the Council will waive further review and action; and the City may place this amendment into effect. The amendment, explanatory materials, and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.
