Home My WebLink AboutA003 - Council Action Form dated March 7, 2006 4 t ITEM # 17 DATE 03/07/06 COUCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP FOR PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF "OUTLOT B", EAST HICKORY PARK SUBDIVISION WEST OF THE PROPOSED RIGHT- OF-WAY FOR RELOCATED DAYTON AVENUE FROM "HOC" (HIGHWAY-ORIENTED COMMERCIAL) TO "A" (AGRICULTURAL) BACKGROUND: Property Owner. Hickory Park, Inc. Attn: David Wheelock Request. Zoning Map amendment to zone all of "Outlot B" as "A" (Agricultural), and relocate the zoning boundary between the "A" (Agricultural) district and the "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) zoning district to follow the lot lines for "Outlot B". Size. Approximately 411,131 square feet (9.5 acres) Rezoning Initiated by the City. This is a rezoning proposal initiated by City staff to address a problem in assigning property identification numbers (geo-code) to the lots in the East Hickory Park Subdivision. "Outlot B" in the East Hickory Park Subdivision is presently divided between the "HOC" and "A" zoning districts. The boundary line between the two zoning districts was established by an earlier rezoning that occurred prior to the platting of the East Hickory Park Subdivision. The Ames City Assessor's Office will not assign the property identification numbers until the zoning boundaries are adjusted to follow the property lines established by the Final Plat of East Hickory Park Subdivision. Until the property identification numbers are assigned by the City Assessor's Office, permits cannot be issued to allow building construction and utility services for Lot 1 in the East Hickory Park Subdivision. Site work is underway on Lot 1 to construct Theisen's Home-Farm-Auto Store. In the near future, building construction is scheduled to begin, at which time it will be necessary that permits be issued for electric service and building construction. The rezoning, to adjust zoning boundary lines to match the new platted lot lines, is necessary for the City Assessor's Office to recognize the new lots for assessment purposes that will in turn enable the issuance of permits, based on property identification numbers. Boundaries for Zoning Districts to Follow New Platted Lot Lines. City staff propose that the southern portion of "Outlot B" be rezoned from "HOC" to "A" to follow the platted lot lines, so as not to divide "Outlot B" between the "A" and "HOC" zoning districts. The rezoning affects land that is undeveloped and a storm water detention basin for East Hickory Park Subdivision. At the time that "Outlot B" is proposed for replatting and development, staff recognizes that it will be necessary to rezone "Outlot B" from the "A" zoning designation to "HOC" or "GI" (General Industrial) for the purpose of commercial and/or industrial development. Until such time as development is proposed, the "A" (Agricultural) zoning designation is appropriate given the undeveloped condition of the property. Recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission. At its meeting of February 15, 2006, with a vote of 7-0, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning of land generally located in the southern portion of "Outlot B", East Hickory Park Subdivision, west of the proposed right-of-way for relocated Dayton Avenue from "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) to "A" (Agricultural). ALTERNATIVES: 1 . The City Council can approve the rezoning of land generally located in the southern portion of "Outlot B", East Hickory Park Subdivision, west of the proposed right-of-way for relocated Dayton Avenue from "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) to "A" (Agricultural). 2. The City Council can deny the rezoning of land generally located in the southern portion of "Outlot B", East Hickory Park Subdivision, west of the proposed right-of-way for relocated Dayton Avenue from "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) to "A" (Agricultural). 3. The City Council can approve the rezoning of land generally located in the southern portion of "Outlot B", East Hickory Park Subdivision, west of the proposed right-of-way for relocated Dayton Avenue from "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) to "A" (Agricultural). 4. The City Council can postpone action on this rezoning proposal by the City and refer it back to City staff for additional information. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Rezoning of the land in the East Hickory Park Subdivision to have the zoning boundaries follow established lot lines will enable the property owner and developer to continue without delay the development of Lot 1 for commercial purposes, consistent with the "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) zoning designation. This is a situation where rezoning occurred prior to the division of the land into platted lots, and now the zoning boundaries need to be adjusted to follow the newly established lot lines. 2 Therefore, it is recommendation of the City Manager that Alternative #1 be adopted. Alternative #1 is a recommendation that the City Council approve the rezoning of land generally located in the southern portion of "Outlot B", East Hickory Park Subdivision, west of the proposed right-of-way for relocated Dayton Avenue from "HOC" (Highway-Oriented Commercial) to "A" (Agricultural). To expedite the rezoning and not delay commercial construction on Lot 1, the City Council will be asked, by City staff, to suspend the rules and to pass the ordinance to rezone the property at the same meeting as the public hearing for the rezoning.
