Notification: State statute requ~es notification of ~e public he~ng to o~ers of prope~ ~ 350 feet of · e subject prope~. S~notified prope~ o~ers ~n 700 feet of~e subject prope~ of~e public he~ng conducted by ~e Plmg Co~ssion on April 1, 1997. Obse~afions: The property is approximately 20 acres in size and is in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The sketch plan accompanying the application proposes to develop the entire parcel with single family homes. The adjacent parcels to the north and west are zoned rural residential; the parcel to the east is zoned commercial; and the property on the south side of 153rd is zoned commercial and residential The Comprehensive Plan targets this property for commercial development and a minor amendment to the Plan would be required if the ordinance to rezone is adopted. It was previously reported that at the current rate of commercial development, there is an inventory of commercial property in the area of the site to facilitate development for the next 60 years inclusive of the subject property and 50 years exclusive of the subject property. It is estimated that the City has a 4 to 5 year inventory of residential land in the MUSA. Development of this parcel with sanitary sewer and water will facilitate the extension of sewer and water to the adjacent remaining commercial parcel and other development parcels on the north side of 153rd Avenue N.W. It should also be noted that given our lack of multi-family parcels, this property may also provide an opportunity to provide for increased housing densities. However, the request at this time is for consideration as a single family neighborhood. The Planning Commission conducted the public hearing and recommended approval of the request for rezoning. On April 22, 1997, the City Council adopted f'mdings of fact #97-04-080 relating to the rezoning application and introduced an ordinance to rezone the property to residential. In accordance with the City Charter, the ordinance is now eligible for adoption.
