Item No. 15 Memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Grayson Path, City Manager SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE — 650 261h NE DATE: October 26, 2020 BACKGROUND: Skyler Burchinal, on behalf of Lance Downs, is requesting a change in zoning from Single Family Dwelling District 2 (SF -2) to Two Family Dwelling District (2F) for his property located at 650 26th NE. Mr. Burchinal proposes to subdivide the property in order develop it as a residential street for single and two-family homes. The site is approximately 7.5 acres. STATUS OF ISSUE: The future land use plan for this site recommends a split use, with low density residential on the north and medium density residential on the south. Single family and duplex development is ideal for this location, according to the plan. Existing land uses in the area include single family residential to the north and west, with a church and storage facility to the east and southeast, and additional single family and duplex residential to the south along 26th NE. Water and sewer utility extensions would be required at time of the subdivision. The zoning change request complies with the recommendations in the comprehensive plan, and staff supports this zoning change. A number of residents spoke in opposition of this change at the October 5th Planning & Zoning meeting, however the Commission voted 7-0 to approve of this zoning change. RECOMMENDATION: Approve of a zoning change from Single Family Dwelling District 2 (SF - 2) to Two Family Dwelling District (2F).
