The sale of the home would not be detrimental to the public welfare as there would be no <br />new development; the prOperty would continue to be used for-a greenhouse and a <br />homestead. <br /> <br />The separation of two existing uses, without creating opportunity for additional uses or <br />development, would be in harmony with the moratorium objective to curtail development <br />during the planning process. <br /> <br />The subdivision will be consistent with the moratorium as it is not facilitating further <br />development, but will continue as a home and greenhouse, as it has been for the past 25 <br />years. <br /> <br />With respect to the 5 criteria for granting exceptions, the following findings are recommended: <br /> <br />That the special circumstance is the existence of two entities (greenhouse and homestead) <br />located on the same parcel and strict application of the moratorium ordinance would <br />prohibit the two entities from being owned independent of each other. <br /> <br />2. That the ability to sell personal property is a substantial property right that would be <br /> obstructed with the strict application of the moratorium ordinance. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />That the granting of the exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or other <br />property in the area because the subdivision will not facilitate any new development; the <br />newly created lot will be occupied by an existing home. <br /> <br />That the exception will be harmonious with the objectives of the City's existing <br />Comprehensive Plan as the subdivision will meet the requirements of the Rural <br />Developing District; and it will not adversely affect the planning process because no new <br />development will occur. <br /> <br />That the exception will be harmonious with the objectives of the moratorium ordinance to <br />curtail development because the subdivision will not create any new buildable lots; it will <br />simply create new boundaries around two existing uses. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends granting the moratorium exception to Mr. John Rowe. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to approve/deny Mr. John Rowe's request for an exception to the Moratorium Ordinahce <br />to subdivide 6530 Green Valley Road for the purpose of separating the greenhouse from the <br />homestead. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Asst.
