"Regulations that apply general standards to property with final decisions made shortly before <br />development occurs," and "The intent of (flexible zoning) is to widen the range of options <br />available to developers and thereby lead to more desirable and better designs ... without <br />sacrificing the traditional zoning objectives of health, safety, and welfare of` local residents." (2) <br />Submission -by. staff. Enclosed is Exhibit "A", which combines both the staff recommendations <br />and the applicant's recommendations for land uses on this subject property. (3) Staff <br />recommendations for the council to consider. Because: of several points of view regarding the <br />approval of this project, and in particular the planning principles and policy discussed by the <br />commission at its January 2 meeting, staff is recommending that the council consider two <br />options. At that meeting the commission's consensus was to strongly advocate continued <br />economic development as, part of their responsibility. In this rezoning case however, they stated <br />that they would very likely approve development on this property, through a PD, if the applicant <br />brought forward a site plan, which would show precise land uses, in particular locations; <br />however, since the applicant is requesting such a large list of pennissible uses, without a site plan <br />(since lie has no property buyer yet) the cornmission was very uncomfortable recommending <br />approval. <br />Option I . Deny thus request: Pros: (a) The city maintains the requirement that all PD zones shall <br />state precise land uses on a complete site plan. (b) Surrounding neighbors, and city staff and <br />officials, know prior to zoning approval what precise uses are requested, and their location and <br />physical design, Cons- (a) The applicant may be limited in marketing the product for commercial <br />use because while he owns said property, it still retains the SF -2 (Single—Family) zone. <br />tuition 2: Anprove this request: Pros: (a) The applicant has approved zoning for a variety of <br />uses that can be immediately marketed. (b) The city will obtain the required site plan upon the <br />submission by a purchaser/developer as per the Zoning Ordinance. (c) The Flexible Zoning <br />practice can be placed in practice. (d)'The detailed land use, design, and neighborhood protective <br />elements will be adopted through the PD zone, most of which could not be implemented unless <br />within the Paris PD zoning opportunities, Cons: (a) The city, public officials and surrounding, <br />residential neighborhoods will not know the precise and particular land uses, design., and/or <br />location of uses that will be developed, given the large array of uses that are requested to be <br />approved, thereby increasing uncertainty in an established neighborhood. <br />FUR -1194115=0 <br />RECOMMENDATION: Evaluate the two options as recommended for consideration by staff., <br />and act on this rezoning request at 3787 N.W.
