RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The purpose of the rezoning is to ensure future development on the site complies with MR-1 underlying zoning, instead of the existing C-2 underlying zoning. The uses permitted under MR-1 zoning are more consistent with the Scottdale Tier 1 overlay uses, while uses allowed by C-2 zoning are largely prohibited by the overlay, for example car repair and sales. Rezoning will also allow for more efficient administration of the zoning ordinance if all parcels of the development share the same zoning. Section 27-2.13.1 (B) states the purpose of MR-1 zoning is to provide for residential neighborhoods with a mix of single-family and multi-family housing types that maintain harmony of scale, intensity, and design with surrounding development. This development supports that purpose. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “Approval with Conditions”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Approval with Conditions 5-0-1. LaSonya Osler moved, Jana Johnson seconded for Approval with eight (8) conditions, per Staff recommendation. Tess Snipes abstained.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Approval 10-0-0.
