Applicant requesting rezoning from R-1 Single Family Residential to A-O Agricultural Open in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan 2. Application for rezoning made for subject property and property to south, which were one tract of land at that time (DRAW THE BOUNDS) a. Rezone a portion from R-1 to C-1 (IDENTIFY) b. Presented to P&Z on November 3, 2005 c. CC approved on November 22, 2005 3. LUP: Property that remained R-1, which is subject property, was and is currently designated as FP&S on LUP 4. Typically, staff recommends that areas reflected as FP&S be rezoned to A-O, the least intense zoning district 5. However, at the time of the rezoning staff recommended that the FP&S areas remain R-1 because it did not meet minimum lot size requirement of 5 acres that the A-0 zoning district requires 6. Staff has since instituted a change in policy that will allow FP&S portions to be zoned A-O regardless of size in order to provide most protection to such areas 7. Property to the south is zoned C-1 and has received site plan approval for NTB 8. Property annexed in 1971, subsequently zoned R-1, platted as a part of the Gateway subdivision 9. Request is in compliance with Comp Plan 10. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning 11. Received no phone calls about the request NOTES: • Why the change? Staff has the ability to consider the LUP in determining the buffer requirement when property is zoned A-O Agricultural-Open. DO NOT MENTION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT • Why don't we want the buffer? A masonry wall would be required as a part of the buffer which would place construction close to the floodplain areas. By not requiring a buffer, it will lessen the impact on those areas.
