AMES CITY PLAN COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 10, 1971
REZONING REQUEST: From "A-l " to "R-l" and "R-2. "
LOCATION: Orchard Village II , north of C. & N.W. Railroad
tracks, south of Atomic Energy Commission.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: (See attached. )
BY: Erben A. Hunziker and Donald M. Furman.
HISTORY: The tract was requested for rezoning to "R-3" in
October, 1969. The request was heard at public hearing
and due to objections, dropped at that time.
COMPREHENSIVE The Comprehensive Plan designates the area as medium
PLAN REFERENCE: density ("R-3" ) residential development.
REPORT: The request for rezoning is as shown on the proposed
plat of the area. This reference is due to the fact
that the tract cannot be platted unless proper zoning
is obtained. The rezoning, then , is in relation to
the outlined streets and lot lines. Upon rezoning approval , the developer
would be directed to proceed with platting.
The 1969 rezoning application for "R-3" was met with considerable opposition
from area residents and the A.L.C. At that time, the A.E.C. recorronended that
if the land is developed it should be at a much lower density. This application
would meet this requirement.
It is the staff recommendation that the request as presented on the proposed
plat be approved and so recommended to City Council , and upon approval the
developer be directed to proceed with platting.
It should be kept in mind that with request approval and upon updating the
City 's Comprehensive Plan, this area should be changed to reflect low-density
instead of high-density as presently designated.
