13 4.0 BACKGROUND �4 The subject properties, located in Planning District 7, have Comprehensive Plan Land � 5 Use Designations of Low-Density Residential (LR), High Density Residential (HR), and �6 Institutional (IN). The respective zoning classifications are Low-Density Residential-1 17 (LDR-1), High Density Residential-1 (HDR-1), and Institutional (INST) Districts. The � g p�LlMnv�Y pLAT proposal has been prompted by plans to redevelop the 3-acre area into � g 25 residential lots with common areas. The proposed housing will be a mix of row 2o homes, small-lot single-family homes, and townhomes. 2� When exercising the so-called "quasi judicial" authority when acting on a PLAT request, 22 the role of the City is to determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply 23 those facts to the legal standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In 24 general, if the facts indicate the applicant meets the relevant legal standard, then they are 25 likely entitled to the approval, although the City is able to add conditions to a plat 2� approval to ensure that the likely impacts to roads, storm sewers, and other public ._ infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately addressed. '�; 5.0 PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS 2s Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that all proposed lots 3o meet the minimum size requirements of the Zoning Code, that adequate streets and other 3� public infrastructure are in place or identified and constructed, and that storm water is 32 addressed to prevent problems either on nearby property or within the storm water 3s system. As a pxELrnIINAxY pLAT of inedium density residential property, the proposal 34 includes zoning issues that need to be addressed since the Zoning Code does establish 35 minimum lot dimensions or area. The proposed Fire House Addition must have a 3s minimum lot width of 40 feet and a lot area of 4,800 sq. ft. for each of the one-family s� detached housing units and a minimum of 3,600 sq. ft. for each of the attached units. 3s There are no minimum lot width standards for attached units. pREL11v11NAxY pLAT is 3g included with this report as Attachment C. 4o The present plat proposal has been prompted by a redevelopment plan which requires 4� approval of a Comprehensive Plan land use change, rezoning, and text amendments to the 42 Zoning Code regarding the medium density requirements. On March 13, 2014, the 43 Development Review Committee (DRC) met to review the submitted preliminary plans 44 for the Dale Street Redevelopment and no major concerns were identified. The City 45 Engineer, however, did indicate that his staff has had preliminary meetings/discussions 46 with the applicant (GMHC) over storm water management requirements for the 4� development and indicated that the development's engineer is warking toward designing 4� and resolving initial deficiencies. 4g On March 20, 2014, GMHC held the required public open house regarding their intention 5o to redevelop the subject properties into the mixed-residential development of 25 5� residential lots with row homes, small-lot detached single-family homes, and townhomes. 52 Although a number of residents attended the meeting, most comments/questions were 5s related to the development itself and not the lots or their design/sized (Attachment D). 54 55 PF14-004 RCA 042ll4 PrePlat.doc Page 2 of 4
