WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of
a zone change (NZC-0832-13) requiring a maximum of 14 dwelling units per acre
on 9.2 acres in an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay
District. Generally located on the east side of
The
density limit was originally recommended by the TAB as a compromise
solution. Rather than recommend a denial
of the non-conforming zone change, the TAB recommended the zone change be
approved with the density being capped at 14 units per acre to comply with the
land use plan.
The
applicant has redesigned this project to add more amenities in an attempt to
increase the
The original and current
TAB recommendation is based on the following:
·
The max density allowed
in Residential Medium is 14 units per acre.
·
Multi-family uses are not
allowed in zone districts associated with Residential Medium land use.
·
Any increased density or
housing type change allowed should be done through the land use process.
·
The applicant did not
participate in the recent land use update.
·
The R-3 zone district was
recommended to allow the applicants multi-family development to proceed.
·
The project density
should not exceed the currently allowed density for zone districts allowed in
the Residential Medium land use.
The TAB is concerned that
the project density requested is approaching the R-3 zone district
maximum. The current land use calls for
a maximum of 14 units per acre, not the 17.9 proposed. However, the 14 units per acre are only
allowed for RUD single family zone district.
Experience indicates the RUD zone district has not produced very livable
neighborhoods. This project at 14 units
per acre is a better choice.

The applicant project is based upon land use
and not the actual zoning in the area.
Some parcels north of this project were approved for Residential Low
land use. However, the zone district on
those parcels remains RNP-1. The
accepted standard next to the RNP-1 zone district is a 10,000 sq. ft. minimum
lot size. This project as proposed does
not meet that standard. The same factor
applies to the denial of the design review.
The changes to Current Planning and Public
Works conditions were suggested by the applicant and accepted by the TAB. These changes continue previously approved
conditions on TM-0242, WS-0846-13 and NZC-0356-13.
The staff should have evaluated this project
based on the zone districts in place and not on planned use.

This cell tower has been approved several
times and not built. On two sides is
planned residential land which could place the tower within 20 ft. of a home
when built. The TAB is concerned with
how well the tower will fit into the neighborhood. The best design would be a wind mill. However, not enough land is available to
accommodate the base. The TAB believes
the three branch pine tree is a better design for the neighborhood.
There is another cell tower to the south that
should be looked at as an alternate location for the proposed set of antennas.
