Home My WebLink AboutA003 - Council Action Form dated January 13, 2004 Item #: 17 Date: 01/13/04 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE THE REZONING OF PROPERTY FROM "A" (AGRICULTURAL) TO "RL" (RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY), GENERALLY LOCATED ON 2725 STATE AVENUE IN SOUTHWEST AMES. BACKGROUND: Applicant Request. The subject area under consideration, referred to as the Gustafson property, is located along State Avenue in the Southwest Growth Corridor. (See map titled "Location Map".) This property is comprised of approximately 11 .44 acres and is located south of Dartmoor Road and west of State Avenue. On August 8, 2000, City Council annexed the subject area into the City of Ames. At that time, no zoning was requested for the property and therefore was zoned Agricultural. In an effort to make the existing single-family land use consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance and the Land Use Policy Plan, City Council directed staff to initiate a rezoning of the property from "A" (Agricultural) to "RL" (Residential Low Density). ANALYSIS. Municipal Services. Water. A 12-inch water main runs along the east side of State Avenue. This water main can adequately serve the subject area. Sanitary Sewer. There is an 8-inch sanitary sewer main running through the south east corner of Parcel B and continues through Parcel C. Electric. The property falls outside of the City of Ames Electric Service Boundary. Fire Response Time. The City's fire response time goal is to have 85% of the land area of the city within a response time of five (5) minutes or less. This area falls within the City's response time goal. Access/Traffic Impact. A residential drive on the subject property extends to State Avenue. The property maintains frontage to State Avenue and Dartmoor Road right-of-way. Land Use. The subject area is zoned "A" (Agricultural) and is adjacent to single-family residential homes to the west. The property to the south is owned by the City of Ames. Zoning. Presently, the property is zoned "A" (Agricultural). In order for the property to be in conformance with the Land Use Policy Plan and the City's Zoning Ordinance, it must be zoned "RL" (Residential Low Density). (See map titled "Recommended Zoning.') Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Goals and Policies. The subject property is shown on the LUPP Map as Village/Suburban Residential. Additionally, it is located in the Southwest Growth Priority Area. Rezoning the property to "RL"would be consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan, since this zoning would be most consistent with adjacent land uses to the west. (See map titled, "Land Use Policy Plan".) RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this rezoning request at their meeting of December 17, 2003. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can approve the rezoning of 11.44 acres of land, referred to as the Gustafson property, located along State Avenue in the Southwest Growth Corridor from "A" (Agricultural) to "RL" (Residential Low Density). 2. The City Council can approve the rezoning of 11 .44 acres of land, referred to as the Gustafson property, located along State Avenue in the Southwest Growth Corridor from "A" (Agricultural) to "RL" (Residential Low Density) with modifications. 3. The City Council can deny the rezoning of 11 .44 acres of land, referred to as the Gustafson property, located along State Avenue in the Southwest Growth Corridor from "A" (Agricultural) to "RL" (Residential Low Density). 4. Action on this request can be postponed and referred back to City staff for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that Alternative #1 be adopted. Alternative #1 is a recommendation to approve the rezoning of 11.44 acres of land, referred to as the Gustafson property, located along State Avenue in the Southwest Growth Corridor from "A" (Agricultural) to "RL" (Residential Low Density).
