The proposed amendments are as follows: • Change 2030 Comprehensive Plan designation from R-LD (Low Density Residential) to be designated C-CC (Community Retail Shopping) • Change Zoning District from R-1 (Low Density Residential) to C-2 (Gen- eral Business) History In 1965 the existing structure was constructed and the property has been utilized for commercial land use ever since. Currently the Eco Water/Metro South Water operates from the site. Current Circumstances The current owner of the property is pursuing sale of the site to the business manager/owner of Eco Water/Metro South Water company. As part of the sale the zoning designations are being requested for change in order to create a con- forming zoning for the preexisting land use. The business has expressed interest in expanding the structure on site and this expansion would be limited due to the current nonconforming status of the land use on a residentially zoned property. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Total Site Area: The area of the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment and Zoning Amendment request consists of 1.10 acres. Wetlands: No wetlands exist on the current site. Access: Access to this property is and would remain from 160th Street NE (Cty Hwy 44). Utilities: Water service is currently provided to the site. The site maintains a private onsite septic service for waste disposal. Current City sewer services are not immediately available to the site. 2 Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: Existing Use Land Use Designation Zoning North Cty Hwy 44 & Single Family Homes County Right-of-Way and R-LD (Urban Low Density Resi- dential) R-1 (Low Density Residential) South Single Family Homes R-LD (Urban Low Density Resi- dential) R-1 (Low Density Residential) East Cemetery Property R-LD (Urban Low Density Resi- dential) R-1 (Low Density Residential) West Apartment Buildings R-HD (Urban High Density Resi- dential) R-3 (High Density Residential) Conclusion The proposed C-CC and C-2 designations are consistent with these goals which would allow the business to continue operations and allow for possible expansion without the status of a nonconforming land use. The proposed amendments are consistent with this recommendation. ISSUES: The Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives that are applicable to this request are as follows: GOAL: ECONOMIC VITALITY OBJECTIVE No. 2: Encourage a diversified economic base and a broad range of employment opportunities. This objective of the Comprehensive Plan identifies the need to attract businesses and services that will serve the surrounding area and remains stable under changing economic conditions. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment will allow for the continual use a development of a business on the existing site. Zoning Ordinance Amendment Findings Section 1108.600 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the following policies for amendments to the Official Zoning Map: • The area, as presently zoned, is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan, or the land was originally zoned erroneously due to a technical or administrative error, or • The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to rezone so as to encourage redevel- opment of the area, or • The permitted uses allowed within the proposed Use District will be appropri- ate on the subject property and compatible with adjacent properties and the neighborhood. 3 In this case, the permitted uses allowed (see attached table of land uses allowed in the C-2 General Business District) would be appropriate on the property due to the limited access to County Highway 44 directly and limited area for commer- cial expansion. The rezoning will facilitate expansion of the current business on site. Thorough analysis will be taken as part of any future Site Plan Review or Conditional Use Permit process to assure the uses will be appropriate in respect to the future adjacent residential neighborhood.
