MTG. DATE: June 26, 2023 BACKGROUND The applicant has requested a rezoning change from SF -2 to MF -2. At its May 22, 2023 meeting the item was continued to June 26th meeting for the FLUM amendment. The proposed use of the property is for apartments and/or possibly rental duplexes and townhomes. The subject property contains approximately 6.9 acres and along the front portion of the property on the street side of the adjoining church property are transmission wires running roughly parallel to Clarksville Street. The property is being re -guided from Office to High Density Residential in support of this zoning change. Therefore this zoning action will be in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan. At its 6/5/23 meeting, the P&Z unanimously recommended approval. ANALYSIS The subject property is zoned SF -2, is being re -guided for HDR (MF -2) and contains vacant undeveloped land around the existing developed church on approximately 2 % acres of the 6.9 acres leaving about 4 2/3rds acres for new residential. The property backs up to the Trail de' Paris and is ideally suited for High Density Residential (HDR) development as supported by Staff. • The land to the West is zoned Planned Development (PD), is guided for Office, and contains high density residential. An update to the FLUM should occur based upon existing land use. • The land to the North is zoned SF -2 across Clarksville, is guided for Low Density Residential (LDR), and are single-family residences. • The land to the East is zoned PD, is guided for Office, and contains high density residential. An update to the FLUM should occur based upon existing land use. • The land to the Southeast across the trail is all Zoned Agriculture (AG). The land to the Southwest across the trail is all Zoned PD for the new Forestbrook Estates. Both properties are guided for LDR and the land is undeveloped. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council first re -open and continue the public hearing from the May 22, 2023 meeting. P&Z and Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (MF -2).
