Rezone from "R-2" to "R-7"

Existing Use: Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North - Commercial & industrial, zoned "C-3" and "1-2"
South - Commercial, zoned "C-4"
East - Single family, zoned "R-2"
West - Mobile home park, zoned "R-7"
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property in question is located on -Stagecoach Road
(Highway #5) and the request is to rezone it from "R-2" to
"R-7" for a mobile home park. To the west, there is an
existing mobile home park and, if the site under
consideration is rezoned, the 7.6 acres will be an extension
of the developed mobile home park. The only structures on
the property are a wood barn and two accessory buildings. A
majority of the land is vacant.
In addition to the existing mobile home park, other land
uses found in the vicinity are a daycare center, commercial
and industrial. There is also a single family residence to
the west and some of the land is undeveloped. Zoning of the
area includes "R-2", "R-7", "C-3", "C-4" and "1-2" with no
established zoning pattern.
Rezoning the acreage to allow a mobile home park is a
reasonable option for the property and is compatible with
the other land uses. The existing park is well maintained
and has had no visible impact on the surrounding properties.
Quality mobile home parks provide a needed housing resource
for the City and should be supported whenever possible. The

Otter Creek District Plan does identify the site for
commercial/industrial uses, but staff feels the proposed use
is not a significant departure from the plan's basic
direction and endorses the "R-7" reclassification.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Stagecoach Road (Highway #5) is classified as a minor
arterial which requires a right-of-way of 90 feet. The
existing right-of-way is deficient so dedication of
additional right-of-way will be needed.
