DATE: July 22, 2024 BACKGROUND: Steven Smith is seeking a minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to provide for a higher density use of the property located in the 4300 Block of Pine Mill Rd. This is a 6.38 -acre tract that is currently vacant. Also, on this agenda (Item 5) is a zoning change request. STATUS OF ISSUE: The site is on the south side of Pine Mill RD between 42"d and 46th street and is currently guided for Medium Density Residential. The land use to the north and across Pine Mill RD is SF -2. The land use to the east is zoned MF -2 with the development of duplexes and quads. Good access and connection to utilities are available at this location. Continuation of multifamily development in this location will provide additional housing while maintaining neighborhood conformity and will serve the immediate and long-term needs of the community. Staff is in support of this minor amendment to High Density Residential. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the amendment at its July 15, 2024, meeting. Motion carried, 5 ayes — 0 nays BUDGET: There are no significant budgetary implications due to this amendment. RECOMMENDATION: Approve of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential. Page 1 of 1
