'� � those to the north for redevelopment. The code designates this district for general retail uses in individual buildings or strip centers along state or county roads (Sections 1005.05). Attachment D is Section 1005.015 of the City Code that lists the pernutted, accessory, and conditional uses by business zoning district. 6.3 Planning Division staff supports the rezoning of this property and B-3 is the appropriate zoning district for this property. This designation will make this parcel consistent with those to its north, thus creating a coordinated redevelopment opportunity. 6.4 As the City is compelled by State law to have consistency between zoning and its Comprehensive Plan, the City must rezone this property to a district compatible with the future land use designation or amend its Comprehensive Plan to guide this property for low-density residential uses. The long- term viability of single-family residential along this segment of Rice Street is limited due to its traf�ic volumes. Both the adopted Comprehensive Plan and the preliminarily approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan designate this area for some type of business use in the future. 6.5 The City is commencing a Zoning Update in October 2009. Upon adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the City will be moving forward with a parcel-by-parcel rezoning to make the zoning designations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. As part of this process, the subject property will be rezoned to an appropriate business zoning district. Staffanticipates that this rezoning will not occur for six to nine months. The applicant has stated that the split zoning of their redevelopment area is a hindrance to their marketing efforts. To facilitate the marketing of area, staff supports rezoning this parcel at this time. 7.O STAFF RECOMMENDATION 7.1 Based on the comments and information outlined in Sections 6 and 7 of this report, the Planning Division recommends ApPROVAL ofthe requested REZOtv�N� of2587 Rice Street from R-1 to B-3.
