MEMO DATE: December 4,2001 TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes ~ RE: Zoning Map Modifications ......................................................................... BACKGROUND The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed revised zoning map at the November Planning and Zoning meeting. It was the Commission's recommendation to continue the discussion to the next City Council meeting. The City Council is requesting that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide them with a recommendation. Between meetings, the Staff received a site plan for a proposed three-season porch that would encroach into the C-I zoning designation. The property owner has submitted the required variance requests to the Rice Creek Watershed District. The RCWD proceeded with their process and determined that if the property owner obtained a variance from the City of Centerville because the proposed three-season porch encroaches on the floodplain, then they would be able to proceed with construction. The RCWD found that the proposed three-season porch will not impact the flood plain because it will be on stilts and is similar to other three-season porches in the immediate area. It was further determined that RCWD does not recognize the City's C-l designation but they do recognize the flood plain designation of the area and this is what governs the initiation of their process. In doing further research, Staff found that the C-l zoning designation was done apparently to provide a recreational area around Clearwater Creek. I have provided a copy of a rezoning request dated June 4, 1991 from the property owner at 1759 Main Street whereby he states that the C-I (Parks and Playground) was intended to have a walkway along the Creek. The Planning and Zoning Commission at the time allowed a variance until such time as the area could be rezoned to R-2. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map modifications as proposed by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates.
