Zone Change No. 21-03
Recommendation(s):
1. Introduce
Ordinance
No.
,
amending
the
City
Zoning
Plan
for
approximately
ten
gross
acres
of
land
located
at
the
northwest
corner
of
52 Street
West
and
Avenue
L
(APNs:
3204-
006-036
and
3204-006-037
)
from
Single-Family
Residential,
minimum
lot
size
15,000
square
feet
(R-15,000)
to
Single-Family
Residential,
minimum
lot
size
10,000
square
feet
(R-
10,000), known as Zone Change No. 21-03.
The
proposed
project
would
bring
new
single-family
housing
to
an
undeveloped
area.
The
development
would
be
governed
by
a
homeowners’
association
(HOA)
which
will
ensure
quality
standards
are
enforced.
In
addition,
the
project
would
be
compatible
with
the
single-
family
homes
and
other
residential
uses
that
surround
the
proposed
subject
site.
Therefore,
staff is recommending approval to change the zoning designation from R-15,000 to R-10,000.
