STAFF ANALYSIS:
The proposal is to rezone the tract of land to"AF"
Agriculture and Forestry for a sod farm. The Zoning
Ordinance states that the "AF" zone provides "a usable
zoning definition and to provide for certain compatible land
uses during the interim period between annexation and final
determination of proper zoning districts." Based on this
provision and the property's location, staff feels that the
request is appropriate and supports the rezoning. The Otter
Creek District Plan identifies the area for Single Family
use and shows a large floodway between I-430 and Stagecoach
Road.
This site has some floodway involvement, approximately the
west 1/2, so by Board of Directors policy that area will
have to be dedicated to the City. Engineering will address
this issue at the time of the hearing, but has indicated
that a sod farm ineets the requirements for an activity
located in the floodplain and floodway. Also, the owner
should contact the Corps of Engineers regarding the approval
of a wetlands permit.
The Traffic Engineer requests that the access point be shown
and the description of the road and its condition be
discussed at the Planning Commission meeting.
