REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, which designates this property as Residential Attached and
Floodplains & Streams. The proposed amendment alters the A-O and R-4 zoning lines to
conform to the FEMA 100-year floodplain line. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), altering
the floodplain location, was approved by FEMA in 2007.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The existing A-O and R-4 zonings were found to

be compatible with the existing uses and zoning of nearby properties with the initial rezoning
of the subject property in 2006.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The permitted
uses will not change with the proposed amendment, however the areas that can be
developed for multi-family and the areas that must remain undeveloped would be altered
slightly. The result is that no development would be permitted to occur in the floodplain.
The uses are suitable for the property.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
permitted uses will not change with the proposed amendment.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
permitted uses will not change with the proposed amendment. Since there is no net
difference in the amount of developable land, it is unlikely that the marketability will be
affected.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Infrastructure for the site is available and
adequate. Since the permitted uses will not change, the need for infrastructure will not
change. The proposed amendment will limit development of the floodplain, reserving this
area for natural stormwater management.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In 2007, the property owner requested rezoning of the property to adjust zoning boundaries
based on the 100-year floodplain line, with a net gain of approximately 5 acres of developable
area. The request was denied by the City Council based on concerns of over development of
the site and other flood-prone areas, in general. Since that time, the LOMR has been formally
approved by FEMA. Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request because it further
protects existing floodplain from development and because there is no net change in
developable area.

2818 PLACE - PLACE PROPERTIES (REZ) 08-00500051
This item is a rezoning for 2818 Place, a multi-family project o4arvey
Mitchell Parkway. \S OULrret L)U~ LOVSt"U_ .AA bvi
This rezoning would allow for the readjustment of A-O Agricultural-Open
and R-4 Multi-Family zoning boundaries based on new FEMA floodplain
lines. There is no net change in either of the districts. -c&rd V\o V1t ~
a ea
While the permitted uses and the amount of developable land will not
change, the rezoning would have the affect of ensuring that development
stays out of the floodplain.
The property was zoned A-O & R-4 in 2006, in preparation for the multi-
family complex that is currently under construction on the property. The
zoning lines were based on the FEMA floodplain line existing at that time.
A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), altering the floodplain location, was
appfeved by FEMA in 2007.
