SUBJECT:
Rohret Road from R1A to RIB; date filed
public hearing date: 11/18/76.
STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 18, 1976
Z -7617. Application submitted by
'1'y'n Cae, Inc. to rezone a tract of
]and located southeast of the !nter-
section of Marmon 'Trek Boulevard and
10/8/76; 45 -day limitation: 11/23/76;
STAFF The request area of approximately
ANALYSIS: 46.64 acres, 'Tract A as designated
on the attached plat, is undeveloped
except for an existing single 1':imily
home and a farnnst.cad. Most of the land in this area, however, is devoted in
agricultural use. The main physical feature of the area is the rolling topography
with slopes ranging from 5 to 13 percent. The sanitary sewer and water facilities
existing in the area are adequate for the density of development permitted in an
RIB Zone. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural crops and
scattered single family dwellings.
The applicant is requesting 1119, zoning for the subject property in order to
provide an appropriate site for a Planned Arco Development composed of single
family, two - family and multi- family dwellings. The current. R1A zoning classifi-
cation of the request area provides land exclusively for large lot, low- density
owner - occupied homes. The 1(1,000 square foot per lot area requirement of the
RIA Zone does not provide developers wi th an incentive or enough flexibilitl to
build desirable and well designed Planned Area Developments. An R1R -one ,Irsignation
for the subject area would allow for an increase in the drnsity of devclopment from
3.48 to 5.81 dwr.11iug units per acre, an increase from low to medium densilr
development. This density increase would give the developer greater I'lexifility
for designing rand building a more diversified and dcsirahlc Planned Area Its%olop-
meat than would he possible under the strict application of the R1A Zone classifi-
cation.
The proposal for rezoning and development in the subject area and its imme0late
surroundings is consistent with the Planning Division's cmlclusions and rc-ommen-
dations made inn Staff Report entitled "The Southwest Area Development Study ",
dated May, 1969. The study concluded that the southwest quadrant of the community,
particularly the area between Melrose Avenue, Highway Hl and proposed Ilighway N518,
will become the prime development area of the community. The report recommended
that the entire southwest quadrant of the community develop as low to medium
drnsity residential development, but t hat multi- frunily development only be permitted
through the use of Planned Area Development techniques.
Not addressed within the report but, nevertheless a concern as the southwe•.t
portion of the community develops, will eventually he the aced for an elem,utary
school facility to serve the expected elcmenlary school ago population within
the area. Overcrowding of elementary schools in the reque-,1 air:( is o criIreal
area of concern. 'I'hc hosing of clement ;try school age children !,i other pa rs
of the community i•: very cnctly and on a of tilt' main urgun-rrls for the ostal I ish-
ment of a no- growth policy. 'file City :oust evantually addrr,.•t itself to th
issue to prevent, such high cost III providing services to urban type develolments.

i The need and location of elementary school facilities in new areas of the
community are issues that will be fuily addressed in the forthcoming Comprehen-
sive Plan for the City.

STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
