BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
ORDINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE:
July 27, 2015
TO: President Stephen G. 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.
