Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Steven Meier, Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE CHANGING ZONING RESTRICTIONS FOR PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS SAWYER RIDGE FROM R-2, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO R-2U, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to rezone the property commonly known as Sawyer Ridge from R-2, Single Family Residential District to R-2U, Single Family Residential District. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The subject property is generally located north of Eagleridge Boulevard, between Mark Twain Lane and Sawyer Ridge Drive, in the first and second filings of Sawyer Ridge Subdivisions. The applicant is proposing to rezone the properties to allow for shorter front yard setbacks. The R-2 Zone District requires a minimum of 25’ front yard setback, while the R-2U allows a front yard setback of 18’ to the house, 10’ to an unenclosed porch and 20’ from the garage to the sidewalk. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications for the City. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their July 8, 2015 Regular Meeting, voted 3-1 to recommend approval with Commissioner Webb dissenting. A minimum of four affirmative votes is required for a recommendation of approval to be provided to City Council; therefore, the Motion to recommend approval failed. At the time of the hearing, six Commissioners were present; however only four were eligible to vote since two of the Commission seats have not been appointed. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: The Planning Department sent out Notice of the Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing to all property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property. A Public Notice poster was placed on the subject property 15 days prior to the Public Hearing. ALTERNATIVES: If City Council does not approve this Ordinance, the current zoning would remain. Upon request of City Council, the Ordinance could be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration of proposed modifications. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
