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 impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the
requested zoning district is the same are the remainder of these parcels and the
surrounding area.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification.
REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 is compatible with the Land Use
Classification of Low Density Residential. The LDR areas are intended for single family
detached structures consisting of a suburban character.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested zoning to RA-30 would maintain the public health, safety
and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area, as well as this
parcel being split-zoned with this same classification.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness.
REASONING: Due to the same surrounding residentially zoned area this application
does not need to be considered a Small Scale Rezoning.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-30 would not have an unreasonable impact on
the surrounding community and will maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare because of the
existing residential uses within the area. Therefore, these existing uses lead to compliance with the
adopted Land Use Plan. Thus, it is recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.
