ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a rezoning request to rezone this property from A-1 to R1-10 in order to divide the property into three single-family dwelling lots. The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of this rezoning request. BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting that the City rezone 1 .02 acres from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-10 (Low-Density Residential) at 202 Ken Maril Road. The legal description for this property is as follows: Lot 1 , Southdale Fifth Addition to the City of Ames The property owner would like to split this property into three (3) lots for three single-family homes, and a Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) has been submitted concurrent with this request for a three lot subdivision of the site. The R1-10 zoning designation allows lots for single-family dwellings with a minimum size of 10,000 square feet. This property currently contains one single-family home that has not been completed, which is located in the eastern portion of the site. That home will be located on one of the proposed lots, and it meets the setback requirements of the R1-10 zoning district. ANALYSIS: Current Land Use and Zoning Designation of Subject Property. There is a single-family home on the property that is still under construction, and the remainder of the site is vacant. The present zoning of the site is A-1 (Agricultural). Existing Land Use/Zoning of Adjacent Properties. PROPERTY LAND USE ZONING North of the Site Single-Family Residence R1-10 East of the Site Single-Family Residence R1-10 South of the Site Agricultural A-1 (County) West of the Site Agricultural A-1 Land Use Policy Plan and Zoning History. LUPP 1977, 1981 and 1988 Land Use Policy Plan Map Designations. The subject property is designated Low-Density Residential on the 1977 and 1981 LUPP maps and Residential: Low-Density on the 1988 LUPP map. Goals and Policies from the Land Use Policy Plan. The following goals and policies from the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) apply to this rezoning proposal: B. RESIDENTIAL B.1. Goal. To provide a wide choice of housing types and locations to serve the residential needs of the present and future populations. B.1.1. Policy• The Land Use Policy Plan will serve as the basis to provide for functional new developments, conservation and preservation of existing neighborhoods and the rehabilitation and/or redevelopment of deteriorating areas. B.1.2. Policy: New housing development will be located adjacent to existing development to better utilize existing public facilities and to ensure the orderly growth of the community. The proposed rezoning from A-1 to R1-10 for this property is consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan designation of Residential: Low-Density. The intent of the property owner is to create three single-family dwelling lots. This rezoning would result in new housing located adjacent to existing development and existing utilities, and it would provide an opportunity for additional single-family housing in the community. 2 Zoning. This property has been zoned A-1 (Agricultural) since 1975 when this property was annexed into the City. Utilities. Utilities are adequate to serve the proposed development. Water: There is an 8-inch water main along the north side of Ken Maril Road. Sanitary Sewer: An 8-inch sanitary sewer main is located in the center of Ken Maril Road.

Transportation. Access to the subject property will be from Ken Maril Road. This property also abuts South Duff Avenue, however, since South Duff Avenue is an arterial street and a State highway, no access to the subject property will be permitted from this street. There is a Cy-Ride stop one block to the east of this site at the corner of Emerald Drive and Ken Maril Road. There are no bicycle paths planned in this area. 3 Impacts on the Neighborhood. The proposed rezoning from A-1 to R1-10 would allow the creation of two additional home sites in the area. This type of development is consistent with the existing single-family development to the north and east of the site and would further the goal of the LUPP to provide a wide choice of housing types and locations to serve the residential needs of the present and future populations of the community. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff believes the rezoning of this property is consistent with the LUPP designation and the goals and policies of the plan, therefore the property should be rezoned to allow for the subdivision of this property into three lots. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of August 16, 1995 and recommended that it be approved. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can approve the owner's request to rezone the property at 202 Ken Maril Road from A-1 to R1-10. 2. The City Council can deny approval of the owner's request to rezone property located at 202 Ken Maril Road from A-1 to R1-10. 3. The City Council can table this request and refer it back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 . This will approve the rezoning of the property at 202 Ken Maril Road from A-1 to R1-10. This rezoning of the property will allow the developer to proceed with the replatting of this property into three lots for single-family homes.
