Item 8
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows this area is best fit for single-family uses.
ANALYSIS:
The existing Master Plan suggests single-family zoning as most
appropriate for this tract of land. Presently, the property is bounded by
single-family subdivisions to the northeast and far north and retail to the
west. The conceptual plan submitted by the applicant indicates plans for
a single-family residential subdivision with a total of 33 lots of at least
9,000 square feet in size. A semicircular circulation pattern has been
designed for the subdivision, with one residential street serving the
proposal. There are two entry/exit points on Bethel Road. Twenty of the
33 lots are abutting the tract's perimeter and will have to request that
alleys be abandoned, while the interior 13 lots are showing alleys.
Conceptually, this plan conforms with the Master Plan and with the "SF-
9" single-family residential district zoning classification. Thus, the
request to plat single-family lots appears reasonable, and staff supports the
application, provided the landscaping and screening wall shown in the
earlier pres6ntation ar~ ~ncluded.
