15 - Zoning Change Request for 650 26th N.E.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).
