REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the requested zoning district is similar in nature to neighboring zoning.   Yes  No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial is not compatible with the Land Use Classification Medium Density Residential. Medium Density Residential is meant to encourage stick built and manufactured residential developments. However, since this parcel has sufficient access to 2 roads, as well as its location to existing commercially zoned property, staff would recommend that during a Land Use Plan update this area be revised to comply with existing uses.   Yes  No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due to the existing commercial growth pattern in the area.   Yes  No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness REASONING: The proposed rezoning to Commercial is adjacent to Commercial zoned land and thus the application does not need to be considered a Small Scale Rezoning.   Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…) The requested rezoning to Commercial is compatible with neighboring zoning districts and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
