The Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) designates this area and the adjacent vacant land west of Prairie View Subdivision as appropri- ate for low-density residential development. The present zoning, R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), would allow a density of 22 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning of R-2 (Low-Density Residential) and 111-6 (Low-Density Residential) would allow development densities of 12 dwelling units per acre for R-2, and seven dwelling units per acre for R1-6. In response to a request from the Prairie View East Homeowner's Associa- tion, City Council has initiated the rezoning process for vacant land contiguous to the west boundary of Prairie View Subdivision. On July 24, 1990, City Council referred this item to the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion for further study and a recommendation back to the City Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of September 9, 1990 and recommended that it be approved. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City can approve of the request to rezone property in Prairie View Subdivision from R-3 (Medium-Density Residential) to R-2 (Low-Density Residential) and 111-6 (Low-Density Residential) as proposed by the petitioners and set October 23, 1990 as the date of public hearing on this request. 4 2. The City Council can deny approval of the request to rezone property in Prairie View Subdivision from R-3 (Medium-Density Residential) to R-2 (Low-Density Residential) and RI-6 (Low-Density Residential) and set October 23, 1990 as the date of public hearing on this request. 3. The City Council can approve of the rezoning of Prairie View Subdivision in a manner which differs from the petitioner's request. 4. The City Council can refer this item back to City staff for additional information.
