Evaluation
Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community.
REASONING: The requested zoning change to Commercial will not have a negative
impact on the community since a portion of this property is already zoned Commercial.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested zoning district is not fully compatible with the existing Land
use classification of Agricultural & Rural Residential. However, Medium Density
Residential is adjacent to this parcel as well as the high-density Anderson Creek Club
PUD. In addition, this site is within the within a Compatibility Development Target area.
These areas could lead to other uses that could make the most of the of Public water &
sewer availability. Therefore, a Land Use map amendment is recommended to extend
the MDR classification to include this parcel.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested rezoning to Commercial would maintain or enhance the
public health, safety, and general welfare due to area’s existing infrastructure well as
the potential site improvements that would be required.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: Since this tract is already partially zoned Commercial, this application does
not need to be evaluated for Small Scale Rezoning
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to Commercial would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community based on this parcel’s current zoning classification and the existing
infrastructure within the area. Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
Staff also recommends an amendment to the Land Use map to change this parcel to Medium Density
Residential on based on the existing infrastructure and adjacent MDR classification.
