HomeMy WebLinkAboutA002 - Council Action Form dated February 25, 1997 ITEM#: DATE: 02/25/97 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: REZONING OF 137.06 ACRES OF LAND FROM A-1 (AGRICULTURAL) TO R1-6 (LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL), R-2 (LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL), R-3 (MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) AND P-C (PLANNED COMMERCIAL), GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF SOUTH DAKOTA AVENUE AND NORTH OF U.S. HIGHWAY 30. ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a request to rezone 137.06 acres of land generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and north of U.S. Highway 30. ,Approval of this request is recommended. BACKGROUND: The applicants are requesting that the City rezone 137.06 acres of land from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-6 (Low-Density Residential) (22.40 acres), R-2 (Low-Density Residential) (21 .02 acres), R-3 (Medium-Density Residential) (30.37 acres), and P-C (Planned Commercial) (63.27 acres), generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and North of U.S. Highway 30. A graphic showing the subject property and proposed zoning designations is attached. The applicants plan to develop the subject property with a mix of land uses that would include: • Single-Family Detached Dwellings; • Two-Family Dwellings; • Multiple-Family Dwellings; • A site for a Future Elementary School; and, • Commercial Uses. A request for approval of a Conceptual Development Plan (C.D.P.) for the subject property is being processed concurrently with the request for rezoning. A 1988 Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map Amendment was approved for the subject property on November 26, 1996. ANALYSIS: Zoning District. The subject property is located inside the corporate limits in an A-1 (Agricultural) zoning district. Existing Land Use/Zoning.

The subject property is designated on the 1988 LUPP Map as: • RL (Residential: Low-Density); • RM (Residential: Medium-Density); and, • C (Commercial). The following goals and policies of the 1988 Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) apply to this request for rezoning: 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. • The proposed development will contribute to a wider choice of housing locations and housing types that include single-family and multiple-family residential. 2 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 development would be located adjacent to existing development to the north and east. It can be served by the extension of existing public utilities. 13.1.9. Policy: Landscaping and open space or multiple-family development will serve as transition areas between low-density residential areas and areas of significant commercial activity. • Multiple-family areas are proposed as a transition between the proposed commercial area and the proposed low-density residential areas. The commercial, as proposed by the applicant, is across South Dakota from the existing low-density (condominiums) on the east side of South Dakota. The design of the commercial development along with landscaping will need to mitigate potential negative affects from this land use relationship. 13.2. GOAL: To effectively link all residential neighborhoods to a transportation network which is safe, efficient and convenient. • The proposed residential developments will be linked to the existing street network adjacent to the east boundary of the subject property that includes South Dakota Avenue and Mortensen Road. Mortensen Road will also be extended west of South Dakota Avenue to provide access to the areas proposed for commercial and medium-density residential development. 6.2.2. Policy: Sidewalk and bicycle path construction is encouraged to provide safe neighborhood circulation. • This development will need sidewalk and bicycle linkages within the development that will connect to a bicycle path, planned in the Bicycle Route Master Plan, along South Dakota Avenue and along Mortensen Road. These improvements must be constructed along with all other plat improvements. 13.3. GOAL: To locate new neighborhood facilities within reasonable walking distance of all homes in the area to be served. 3 • This development is designed with a community commercial node (as designated in the 1996 LUPP) to be accessed from all residential uses in the area via sidewalks, bicycle paths, the local street system, arterial street system, and eventually U.S. Highway 30. Commercial land uses in the proposed community commercial node are intended to be of a scale that are larger than neighborhood commercial facilities. This represents a noticeable difference between the LUPP of 1988 versus the proposed plan of 1996. B.3.2. Policy: Neighborhood parks or open space will be located generally in each neighborhood to ensure safety and to encourage a feeling of neighborhood integrity. • An elementary school site is proposed as part of this development. This eleven (11) acre site will also function as open space and park facilities for the neighborhood. B.3.3. Policy: Encourage development of mixed-use projects that combine residential, commercial, and industrial uses in the same general area to allow persons to live in proximity to employment and stores. • There will be a commercial component to this proposed development to provide goods and services for the neighborhood and this area of the community; however, it is unlikely that this area will provide an employment base for the neighborhood. C. COMMERCIAL C.1. GOAL: To create opportunities for the expansion of business in appropriate areas while maintaining the usefulness and vitality of existing commercial development. • This proposal will create an opportunity for the expansion of business. Originally the 1988 LUPP did not show that this site is an appropriate area for business expansion. The decision to amend the plan that occurred in November of 1996 now indicates that this area is suitable for commercial development. This amendment is consistent with the 1996 LUPP, which does show this general area as appropriate for a community commercial development. There is not enough information available to evaluate whether or not this proposal would impact the usefulness and vitality of existing commercial areas. 4 C.1.4. Policy: Adequate land will be designated for future community-oriented and neighborhood- oriented commercial development. • Currently, there are 240 acres of vacant commercially designated land on the 1988 LUPP. The commercial development in this proposal would be a community-oriented commercial development, particularly if an interchange is constructed at South Dakota Avenue and U.S. Highway 30 in the future. C.1.5. Policy: Commercial activity will be encouraged to develop adjacent to major interchanges where traffic arterials will allow safe ingress and egress. • The proposed development is located at the intersection of two arterial streets, South Dakota Avenue and Mortensen Road. Primary access to this development would be from an extension of Mortensen Road, west of South Dakota Avenue. Additionally, the proposed 1997 - 2002 Capital Improvements Plan calls for the construction of an interchange at this location in 1999 - 2000. F. TRANSPORTATION F.2.3. Policy: To establish a transportation system that contains arterial and collector streets which are spaced so as to provide ease of movement through the City. Based on the Transportation Plan, the following transportation corridors have been identified for future improvement consideration: a. Construction of an interchange on U.S. Highway 30 between Elwood Drive and the intersection with Lincoln Way west of the corporate limits. • The proposed 1997 - 2002 CIP calls for an interchange at this location. The City has initiated the design phase for this interchange. H. PRIME AGRICULTURAL LAND/REDEVELOPMENT H.1.2. Policy: Development of those areas within the Municipal Urban Service Area that presently are not being utilized for urban uses will be encouraged. • This is an area of the community that is presently served by utilities, which could be logically extended to serve the proposed development. 5 H.1.3. Policy: Land presently served by the existing infrastructure system will have development priority over those areas not presently served. • Existing infrastructure is available and can be extended in the development area. 1996 Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map (adopted in draft). The subject property is designated as "Village/Suburban Residential" on the 1996 LUPP Map. The property is located inside the boundaries of the "New Lands" area. In addition, the 1996 LUPP Map shows a "Community Commercial Node" at the intersection of U.S. Highway 30 and South Dakota Avenue, in anticipation of a future interchange at this location. The following goals and policies of the draft 1996 Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) apply to this request for rezoning: GOAL NO. 1. " ... to plan for and manage growth within the context of the community's's capacity and preferences," and " ... to manage its growth so that it is more sustainable, predictable and assures quality of life." • The mix of land uses proposed contributes to more of a self-sustaining type of residential development with the plan for single-family and multiple-family residential, commercial development and a future school site. Utility capacity exists adjacent to this property to serve the proposed development. Objective 1.C. " ... a population base of 60,000-62,000 ... is targeted within the City." • A minimum number of 430 dwelling units are possible for this area, based on the net number of acres proposed for single-family and multiple-family development in a Suburban Residential development. With an average household size of 2.29 persons, this area could support 985 people. GOAL NO. 2. " ... it is the goal of Ames to assure the adequate provision and availability of developable land, and ... to guide the character, location and compatibility of growth with the area's natural resources and rural areas." • The City is guiding the development of the subject property as a logical area for urbanization. This area is within the southwest priority growth area and has sufficient urban infrastructure adjacent to the site to enable easy extension of needed infrastructure. 6 Objective 2.A. "An additional 3,000 to 3,500 acres of additional land is needed for development by the year 2030. the use of existing and new areas should be selective rather than general." • This land will contribute 137 acres toward the additional acres needed for development. The use of the new area is selective with the availability of existing utilities and the close proximity to a possible future interchange of U.S. Highway 30 and South Dakota Avenue. Objective 2.113. "Ames seeks to assure the availability of sufficient suitable land resources to accommodate the range of land uses that are planned to meet growth. Sufficient land resources shall be sought to eliminate market constraints." • According to the 1996 LUPP, there is not currently a sufficient supply of residential land available for single-family and multiple-family residential development. Based on a recent analysis of the growth determinants of the city, it is projected that 23,000 housing units will be required to meet the demand for housing by the year 2030. A total of 16,058 housing units existed at the time of the 1990 census, thus an additional 6,941 housing units would have to be constructed to meet the housing demand. The proposed development will contribute 32 gross acres and potentially 160 units towards the needed supply of single-family and two-family units. Additionally, the proposed development will contribute a minimum of 269 units to the needed supply of multiple-family housing. In total, this area could support a minimum of 985 new residents. GOAL NO. 3. " ... assure that it (Ames) is an 'environmenta►ly-friendly' community and that all goals and objectives are integrated with this common goal ... ". • Mitigating measures may be necessary, to achieve this goal, considering the potential impact of parking lot lighting, delivery trucks, and large parking lot areas associated with commercial land use. This is especially true with respect to the property owners on the east side of South Dakota. Objective 3.E. "Ames seeks to protect and enhance its air quality and sky access for the following purposes: Maintaining an atmosphere that is free of ... glare and ambient light management for night sky viewing; and, noise transmission ... " • There is potential for noise from truck traffic and ambient light that may have a negative impact upon adjacent properties and night sky viewing unless the site development is carefully planned. GOAL NO. 4. "It is the goal of Ames to create a greater sense of place and connectivity, physically and psychologically, in building a neighborhood and overall community identity and spirit. It is the further goal of the community to assure a more healthy, safe and attractive environment." 7 • The mixed use nature of this development proposal will contribute toward the goal of building a neighborhood with a sense of place and connectivity. Objective 4.A. "Ames seeks to establish smaller and more integrated living/activity areas (i.e. neighborhoods, villages) wherein daily living requirements and amenities are provided in a readily identifiable and accessible area. Greater emphasis is placed on the pedestrian and related activities. • A village is not proposed for the subject property, but rather a mixed-use development with low-density, medium-density residential, commercial land use and a future elementary school site. This mixed use development will assist in meeting the daily living requirements of the residents of this area. Objective 4.113. " ... physically connect existing and new residential and commercial areas through the association of related land uses and provision of an intermodal transportation system." • The proposed development would be integrated with the surrounding land uses; however, the transit network would not be extended into the proposed development until such time that Mortensen Road connects to Lincoln Way, or County Road R-38, or there are a sufficient number of multiple-family units to warrant and support an additional route. Ultimately the designation of a transit route in this area will occur only at the time that the Transit Board approves of a new route in the area. Objective 4.C. " ... psychologically connect the various living/activity areas through closer proximity of residential areas and supporting commercial uses, common design elements and inclusion of community amenities such as parks and schools. The connections should promote community identity." • Connections proposed as part of this development are commercial land use in close proximity to residential areas, and a low-density residential area integrated with a future school site. GOAL NO. 5. " ... establish a cost-effective and efficient growth pattern for development in new areas, and ... to link the timing of development with the installation of public infrastructure including utilities, multi-modal transportation system, parks and open space." • This is an area for which utilities are available, land is needed for a future elementary school and it is an area which is ready for urbanization given the urban development that is occurring on adjacent property. • The timing for a multi-modal transportation system for the subject area is a concern with the proposal for medium-density residential development along an extension of Mortensen that will not be a designated transit corridor until a connection is made with Lincoln Way, or County Road R-38, or until an additional bus transit route is warranted, and ultimately approved by the Transit Board. 8 Objective 5.A. " ... to establish priority areas for growth in which there are adequate available land resources and infrastructure to meet the major development requirements through the year 2030. • The subject property is located in the southern growth area that has been identified by the City as the first priority area for future growth. This area has the infrastructure necessary to meet the demand for new development. Objective 5.C. " ... the continuance of development in emerging and infill areas where there is existing public infrastructure and where capacity permits. • The subject property is located in an area where existing public infrastructure has adequate capacity to meet the demand for the proposed land use. GOAL NO. 6. " ... to increase the supply of housing and to provide a wider range of housing choices." • The development proposal would increase the supply of single-family and multiple-family housing, and would include a variety of housing types that include: single-family detached, duplexes, and multiple-family housing. Objective 6.113. " ... to establish densities of a gross average six dwelling units per acre in maximizing the number of housing units in new areas." • Staff has estimated that a minimum of 430 units would need to be constructed on this property to meet the minimum densities in Suburban Residential. If 430 units are constructed, this would be a density of 3.14 units per gross acre. To obtain an average of 6 units per acre a total of 822 units would need to be constructed. It is expected that approximately 600 dwelling units will be constructed in this area. GOAL NO. 7. ... provide greater mobility through more efficient use of personal automobiles and enhanced availability of alternative modes of transportation." • Alternative modes of transportation, including walking and biking paths, as well as, Cy-Ride bus transportation along South Dakota Avenue will be elements of the development of this property. Objective 7.113. " ... Ames seeks a transportation system that is linked with the desired development pattern of the overall community and areas therein." • Mortensen Road will be extended west of South Dakota Avenue into this proposed development. This extension of Mortensen Road and the existing north/south arterial (South Dakota Avenue) will serve to link the proposed development with the existing network of streets in the community. Additionally, the location of the proposed multiple-family area adjacent to South Dakota and Mortenson, enables a convenient access for residents of the multiple-family units to public transportation. 9 Suburban Residential. The 1996 LUPP designated the subject property as Village/Suburban Residential. The property owner(s) select which set of land use policies will guide the development of their property. The developers of the subject property have selected the "Suburban Residential" development option as opposed to "Village Residential" as the land use policies that will guide development of the 137 acres of land. The "Suburban Residential" development option does not include the same degree of use and design integration as provided for in the "Village Residential" option. Characteristics of "Suburban Residential". "Suburban Residential" can be described as any area that proposes the following development characteristics: • Generally singular-homogenous use (single-family, two-family, multi-family or manufactured housing); • Improved pedestrian scale but orientation focused to vehicular mobility; • Limited integration of building and development design with emphasis on landscaping as buffer elements at the edge of different land use types; and, • Improved connectivity through street design, mid-block cross walks on long blocks and connections to school facilities, parks and open space facilities where possible. The proposed development will include a mix of single-family, two-family and multi- family residential land use, as well as a commercial land use component to function as a community commercial node. Pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths will connect school facilities with surrounding residential areas. Minimum Densities in Suburban Residential. The minimum densities to be achieved by "Suburban Residential" development on a net acre basis are described as follows: • 5.6 units/acre Single-family and two-family residential 5.7 units/acre Potential net development density of the proposed property including land area to be zoned as R1-6 and R-2 based on the proposed CDP. 10 • 10 units/acre Multi-family residential 16.28 units/acre Potential net development density of the proposed development (includes land area to be zoned as R-3) Land Uses in Suburban Residential. Suburban Residential development is intended to permit primarily residential uses similar to much of the existing residential areas of the City. These uses include: • Single-family detached; • Single-family attached; • Two-family; • Multi-family; and, • Manufactured housing. The proposed development will include all of these land uses, except manufactured housing. In addition, commercial land use will be part of the development as a Community Commercial Node. Transit Corridors in Suburban Residential. Multiple-family residential areas will be located along South Dakota Avenue and Mortenson Road. This is consistent with the LUPP, which states that multi-family uses should be limited to locations along designated transit corridors. South Dakota is already designated as a transit route. Mortensen is not a designated transit route. Amenities and Resource Protection in Suburban Residential. Typical amenities that should be included in Suburban Residential development may include, but need not be limited to the following: • Sidewalks on both sides of all streets, walks and bicycle connections to school facilities, parks, open space, and other pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the rest of the city; • Public and/or private park and open space amenities to accommodate the higher density and concentration of people that will result from Suburban Residential development; and, • Development design features that fully protect designated environmentally sensitive areas. 11 The proposed development will include sidewalks, bike paths, and pedestrian walkways to the school site. There are no environmentally sensitive areas on the subject property. Landscaped Buffers in Suburban Residential. Landscaped buffers between different uses of land adjacent to each other will be addressed as part of the site plan and P-C Plan review process. Community Commercial Node. Three sites are identified in the 1996 LUPP as locations for a new commercial node. One of these sites is to be located near the proposed Highway 30 and South Dakota Avenue interchange. The subject property is proposed, at this time, to be the location for this Community Commercial Node. Each node is to include an area of 40 to 75 acres. The proposed node includes 63.27 acres of commercial land. The uses within each node are to be more selective than those permitted in highway-oriented commercial. P-C zoning is proposed for this commercial node with the list of permitted and impermissible uses described in this report. The nodes are to include 100,000 to 800,000 gross square feet of floor area and a maximum of 150,000 gross square feet in any one building. Information to compare the proposed amount of gross floor area will be available at the time of P-C Plan approval. 12 Utilities. The utilities can be extended to serve the proposed subdivision. Water Distribution. Existing. A 14-inch water main is located along South Dakota Avenue that can be extended to serve the proposed development. There is a problem with low water pressure in this area of the community. The water pressure (38 to 40 psi) is lower at this location than at any other location in Ames. A study will be done to determine if the existing water pressure needs to be boosted. Although the existing water pressure is below the pressure level in other parts of the city, the pressure in this area is within excepted standards and should not prevent development of this area. Proposed. 8-inch mains in all street rights-of-way except Mortensen Road. These mains will be looped with the mains in Hillside Subdivision to the north. 12-inch main in the north side of Mortensen Road; the normal procedure is that the developer will pay for an 8-inch main and the City will pay for the oversize. Sanitary Sewer. Existing. A 10-inch sanitary sewer main is located east of South Dakota Avenue and north of Mortensen Road. This main has adequate capacity to serve the proposed development. Proposed. Extension of 8-inch sanitary sewer mains from Poe Avenue and Miller Avenue to the north, and from the 10-inch sanitary sewer main east of South Dakota Avenue. The sanitary sewer mains within the development will be 8-inch sanitary sewer mains within the center of the street rights-of-way. Storm Water Management. A concept plan has been devised to handle the drainage from the site. There is an existing detention pond in the southeast corner of the site that will receive the majority of the site drainage. The drainage from a large part of Phase A will be directed to the culverts in South Dakota Avenue east of Steinbeck street. 13 Electric. This property will be served by the Ames Municipal Electric Utility. There is adequate capacity from the electric utility to serve this site. The City will extend electric distribution lines to the platted area. Fire Department Response Time. The estimated Fire Department response time is 4.5 minutes to the intersection of South Dakota Avenue and Mortensen Road (on the perimeter of the subject property). Five (5) minutes is the standard that the fire service uses for fire and first aid response. Access/Traffic Impact. Approval of a subdivision plat for the subject property will include an extension of Mortensen Road from South Dakota Avenue to the west boundary of the property. A network of streets will be constructed throughout the subdivision that would connect to the streets in Hillside Subdivision to the north of the subject property. Ames Community School District Impact. The Ames Community School District is acquiring an eleven (11) acre parcel, described as Lot 4 on the CDP for Dauntless Subdivision, as a location for a future elementary school to serve this area of the community. The zoning designation proposed for the school site is R1-6 (Low-Density Residential). Impermissible Uses. At the time property is rezoned to P-C (Planned Commercial), a list of impermissible uses must be established for the property. The following list of impermissible uses include: • Dwelling (except above the first floor), and • Residential Corrections Facility. All other uses allowed in a P-C district would be permitted and are described as follows: • Apothecary Shop; • Barber Shop • Beauty Shop • Business Office; • Dwelling (above the first floor); • Gasoline Service Station, • Grocery, Fruit or Vegetable Store; • Hotel/Motel; • Professional Office; • Restaurant; • Retail Store (for specific and general merchandise); • Studio (photography, artist, dance, or musician); and • Other similar retail and service establishments. 14 STAFF COMMENTS: An analysis of the request to rezone the subject property for the purpose of approving a mixed use development of low-density and medium-density, a proposed site for a future elementary school, as well as, commercial land use leads staff to conclude that a mixed use development is appropriate for this particular location. To a great degree, staff is coming to this conclusion based upon the guidance provided in the proposed 1996 LUPP, adopted in draft. Given the need for additional land resources for low-density and medium-density residential and the need for additional commercial land area in this western portion of the city, staff is of the conclusion that this proposed rezoning is appropriate. Additionally, staff believes this request illustrates the importance of the need for the City Council to adopt the 1996 LUPP as the official land use policy for the City. Staff believes this is true even though all of the needed regulations to implement the 1996 LUPP are not in place yet. The proposed development is located in an area of the community that the City has identified as a priority area for growth (the southwest growth priority area) in the 1996 LUPP. Concentration of development in this growth area is a cost effective approach to planning for new development that can be readily served by public infrastructure. The 1996 LUPP clearly supports multiple-family residential at this location. The transit corridors of South Dakota Avenue, and the existing portion of Mortensen Road (east of South Dakota Avenue) provide convenient pedestrian access along South Dakota Avenue. The proposed extension of Mortensen Road, west of South Dakota Avenue, would provide access to the RM (Residential: Medium-Density) development proposed west of the C (Commercial) land; however, this will not be a designated transit corridor until such time that Mortensen Road is extended further west and connects to Lincoln Way or County Road R-38, or until such time that the number of riders warrants the creation of an additional route to serve new development along Mortensen Road, extended. This decision will ultimately need to be made by the Cy-Ride Transit Board. Even without designating the extension of Mortensen Road as a traffic corridor, staff believes it is appropriate to allow multiple-family residential land use along Mortensen Road, since it is a matter of timing before Mortensen Road will be extended to Lincoln Way, or to County Road R-38. The proposed P-C (Planned Commercial) zoning designation is consistent with the 1996 LUPP Map in that a "community commercial" node is planned for this area of the community of a size between 40 and 75 acres. The proposed commercial development would include 63.27 acres in total. Some of the proposed commercial area will also be absorbed by the proposed interchange at this location. 15 This request for rezoning is clearly consistent with the amended 1988 LUPP and with the 1996 LUPP assuming Mortenson Road will ultimately be designated as a transitional corridor. This request for rezoning also represents the first notable new development proposal that is guided by the new LUPP, and more specifically the Suburban Residential components of the 1996 LUPP. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of February 5, 1997 and recommended that the request be approved with the following stipulations: • The list of impermissible uses for the P-C (Planned Commercial) district include: A. Dwelling (except above the first floor), and B. Residential Corrections Facility. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this recommendation with three (3) Commission members voting in favor of the request, and two (2) Commission members voting in opposition to the request. The reasons that two members voted in opposition to the request include: • The potential of negative impact from the commercial area north of the proposed Mortensen Road corridor; and • The concern that the proposed commercial area is too large. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can approve the request to rezone 137.06 acres of land, generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and north of U.S. Highway 30 from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-6 (Low-Density Residential), R-2 (Low-Density Residential), R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), and P-C (Planned Commercial) with the following stipulation: • The list of impermissible uses for the P-C (Planned Commercial) district include: A. Dwelling (except above the first floor), and B. Residential Corrections Facility. 2. The City Council can deny the request to rezone 137.06 acres of land, generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and north of U.S. Highway 30 from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-6 (Low-Density Residential), R-2 (Low-Density Residential), R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), and P-C (Planned Commercial). 16 3. The City Council can approve this request to rezone 137.06 acres of land, generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and north of U.S. Highway 30 from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-6 (Low-Density Residential), R-2 (Low-Density Residential), R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), and P-C (Planned Commercial), with modifications with the following stipulation: • The list of impermissible uses for the P-C (Planned Commercial) district include: A. Dwelling (except above the first floor), and B. Residential Corrections Facility. 4. Action on this request can be postponed and referred back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that Alternative #1 be adopted. Alternative #1 is approval of the request to rezone 137.06 acres of land , generally located west of South Dakota Avenue and north of U.S. Highway 30 from A-1 (Agricultural) to R1-6 (Low-Density Residential), R-2 (Low-Density Residential), R-3 (Medium-Density Residential), and P-C (Planned Commercial).
