ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
APPLICATION: Request for a Zoning Map amendment to rezone property within the A-1,
Agriculture Rural Service Area District to R-6, Residential Townhouse, Quadraminium and Low
Density Multiple Family District as part of the Arbor Place preliminary plat.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: 23 February 2004
FINDINGS: Based upon review of the application, the recommendation of the Planning
Commission, and evidence received, the City Council of the City of Otsego now makes the following
findings of fact:
A. The legal description of the property is attached as Exhibit A.
B. The property lies within the west sanitary sewer service district and is guided for low density
residential uses by the Comprehensive Plan.
C. The property is zoned A-1 District; The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned
to the R-6 District to allow for subdivision of 11 single family lots. Single family dwellings are
a permitted use of the R-6 District.
D. Consideration of the application by the Planning Commission and City Council is to be based
upon, but not limited to, the criteria outlined in Section 20-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: The subject site is located within the west sanitary sewer district and is
planned for low density residential use by the Comprehensive Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan defines low density residential use as having less than four
units per gross acre. The proposed development consists of eleven single family lots
with an average lot size of 14,287 square feet and a gross density of 2.2 dwellings
per acre. The type of use and density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: The site is consistent with the adjacent R-6 single family residential
development within the Arbor Creek Subdivision. The site abuts an undeveloped
area to the east. Planning Staff has prepared a sketch plan to shown how that area
may be subdivided in the future. Section 20-27-9 of the Zoning Ordinance, restricts
new dwelling units from being constructed within 1,000 feet of any animal building on
a registered feedlot. The Barthel Feedlot to the northwest of the site is no longer a
registered operation. The subject site is outside of the 1,000 foot setback from the
Beming feedlot to the northeast of the site.
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance.
V • •
Finding: The preliminary plat will be required to conform with all applicable
performance standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and
Engineering Manual. Consistency with these performance standards will be
evaluated in subsequent paragraphs.
4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: The proposed use is consistent in character with the area in which it is
proposed and will not have a negative impact upon the area.
5. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: The proposed use is not anticipated to negatively impact area property
values.
6. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Finding: The preliminary plat is to be adequately served by existing and
planned public streets serving the property.
7. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, school's, streets, and utilities, and its potential to overburden the City's service
capacity.
Finding: The Comprehensive plan anticipates the development of the proposed
use.
E. The planning report dated 11 February 2004 prepared by the City Planner, Northwest
Associated Consultants, Inc., is incorporated herein.
F. The engineering review 27 January 2004 prepared by the City Engineer, Hakanson
Anderson, Inc., is incorporated herein.
G. The Otsego Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their regular meeting on 17
February 2004 to consider the application, preceded by published and mailed notice. Upon
review of the application and evidence received, the Otsego Planning Commission closed
