Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to introduce an ordinance to rezone the subject property from B-1 Business to R-3 Urban Residential based on the Findings of Facts. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Kurak, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. Councilmember Hendriksen noted that the City has changed more property from business to residential and they need to remember that in other areas of the City. Case #7: Request to Rezone Property from B-1 Business to R-3 Urban Residential; Case of Eighty Seven LLC Principal Planner Trudgeon stated that Eighty Seven LLC has submitted an application to rezone the property located in the southwest quadrant of T.H. #47 and 153rd Avenue NW from B-1 Business to R-3 Urban Residential. The rezoning would allow the applicant to develop townhomes on the property. The property is approximately 8.75 acres in size and is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The general development plan that accompanied the application proposes to develop the property with townhomes at a density not to exceed seven units per acre. The current Comprehensive Plan (1995) identifies this area for development with commercial uses. The March 2001 Draft Comprehensive Plan proposes to change the land use of the subject property from commemial to medium density residential. The new Comprehensive Plan has not been finalized and adopted; therefore, if the rezoning is approved, an amendment to the current Comprehensive Plan (1995) will be required. Properties to the south and west of the subject property are zoned R-1 Residential; properties on the north side of 15Ta Avenue and the east side of T.H. #47 are zoned B-1 Business. The Planning Commission conducted the public hearing, reviewed the request, and recommended City Council approval of the proposed rezoning. City Council/December 11, 2001 Page 22 of 25
