Mack states that Mr. McAfee has requested a zoning change from 2F to MF -2 to permit a planned remodel of the vacant building for a residential dormitory. Previously there was a day care operation for several years at this site. This parcel is a through lot; it is guided for Low Density Residential. The portion of property fronting Pine Mill Rd. is excluded from the rezoning application (which would result in `split zoning' on the parcel). Staff recognizes that Price Street is very narrow and is in need of an upgrade. Staff is recommending approval of the zoning change. The public hearing was declared open. -Scott Hearne, owns property in this area. He is concerned about the narrow street handling additional traffic. Hearne states there is undesired activity currently at the nearby King's Inn Motel and adding another element within a few feet may contribute to the already undesirable. Hearne asked the Commission to deny the zoning change request. Michael McAfee, the applicant states that he understands the concerns of the road issue and the motel across the street. He has visited the site at various times and recently closed on the property. He has begun remodeling which should raise the property value. His goal is to accommodate no more than 25-30 students. McAfee is asking the commission to approve this request. The public hearing was declared closed. A motion was made by Michael Mosher, seconded by Tylesha Mosley to approve the zoning change. Motion carried 5-0. 5. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Mark Cunningham for a change in zoning fi°om an Agricultural District (A) to a One -Family Dwelling District No. 1 (SF -1) for lots over 1.5 acres and One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF - 2) for lots less than 1.5 acres in the Stoneridge Estates Addition, located north of FM 195. Mack states the area is zoned as an Agricultural District with the Future Land Use Map guided for Low Density Residential along FM 195 and to the North. The area consists of single-family residences. The intent is to rezone all developed phases with homes to match the current use of the property. All parcels existing and new and proposed lots within the city limits that are or will be 1.5 acres in size or greater, will be changed to SF - 1. All existing and proposed new proposed lots less than 1.5 acres in size will be changed to SF -2. To date one public input form has been received in favor of this request. Also received is the dis-annexation request by residents of phase 9 to the City Council. Staff is recommending approval of this zoning change without conditions. 2
