Chenal District
LOCATION: The proposed Wellington Village -
Wellington Common Intersection
REQUEST: Multifamily, Suburban office and
Neighborhood Commercial to Single
Family, Suburban Office and
Neighborhood Commercial
SOURCE: Staff - Z -5991-A
STAFF REPORT:
As part of a review process for a rezoning request to City's
adopted Land Use Plan was reviewed. The requested Land Use
pattern is slightly different than that approved by the City just
a few months ago. The reason for the change appears to be a
realignment of the proposed Arterial. Staff agrees with the
realignment; therefore, a change in the Land Use Plan must
follow. In general, the pattern is the same. Only two real
changes are requested. (The remaining changes are made only to
conform to the new alignment.)
Their two changes asked for are from Multifamily and Suburban
Office to Single Family north of Wellington Village at Wellington
Commons and Multifamily to Suburban Office south of Wellington
Village to the west of Wellington Commons. The overall mix of
uses appears to stay about the same.

ENGINEERING COMMENTS
Engineering Comments are noted in Wellington Village
Preliminary Plat File No. S -1042-C. Dedication of right-of-
way will occur through the plat.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The site is located in the Chenal District. The adopted
Land Use Plan recommends Suburb Office, Neighborhood
Commercial, Multifamily and Single Family. The new proposal
keeps these uses but changes the mix (percent of each).
Staff can agree to all the changes except a signifi-cant
increase in Commercial (160%).
The amount of commercial should be decreased to the same
amount currently zoned. The remaining "new" commercial area
could be either Office or Multifamily.

ITEM N 28 Z-5 1-A Cont
STAFF ANALYSIS
The request before the Commission is to rezone this 45± acre
tract from various zonings to R-2, MF -18, 0-1 and C-1. A
preliminary plat corresponding to,the proposed zoning
pattern is Item No. 2 on this agenda (Wellington village,
5-1042-C).
The existing zoning pattern was approved by the Planning
Commission on May 30, 1995 and the Board of Directors on
July 5, 1995. At that time, only a pre -preliminary plat had
been reviewed by staff based on the proposed zoning pattern.
The preliminary plat now submitted by the applicant, varies
from the earlier pre -preliminary plat by changing the
alignment of the minor arterial and collector streets which
bisect the property. The change in the road alignments has
prompted the proposed change in the zoning pattern.
The previously approved zoning pattern was based on 5
parcels with the following acreage and zoning:
Parcel
A
4.00
acres
zoned
0-1
Parcel
B
5.21
acres
zoned
0-2
Parcel
C
8.20
acres
zoned
C-1
Parcel
D
10.81
acres
zoned
MF -18
Parcel
E
10.28
acres
zoned
MF -18
The currently proposed zoning pattern is based on 4 parcels
with the following acreage and zoning:
Parcel
B
4.65 acres
zoned
0-1
Parcel
C
13.46 acres
zoned
C-1
Parcel
D
15.57 acres
zoned
R-2
Parcel
E
7.36 acres
zoned
MF -18
A review of the existing and proposed zoning reveals several
substantial changes which are as follow:
A net loss of office zoning from 9.21 acres to
4.65 acres
A net loss of multifamily zoning from 21.09 acres
to 7.36 acres
A net gain of single family zoning to 15.57 acres
A net gain of commercial zoning from 8.20 acres to
13.46 acres
Staff can support all of the proposed changes with one
exception, that being the proposed increase in C-1 zoning

SUBDIVISION
ITEM N 28 Z- 9 1-A (Cont.)
from 8.20 acres to 13.46 acres. The C-1 neighborhood
commercial district is designed to accommodate limited
retail developments within or adjacent to neighborhood areas
for the purpose of supplying daily household needs of the
residents for food, drugs and personal services. Such
developments are to be designed to accommodate between 1 to
15 stores on a site not more than 5 acres in size.
The current zoning pattern already allows for an 8.20 acre,
C-1 zoned site. Staff believes the amount of commercial
proposed in this application should be reduced to the amount
currently zoned C-1. The remainder of the 13.46 acres
proposed for C-1 should be zoned either MF -18 or 0-1.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the overall rezoning plan in
concept with one exception. Staff believes the amount of
C-1 proposed should be decreased to the 8.20 acres currently
zoned. The remaining 5.26 acres of Parcel C should be zoned
either MF -18 or 0-1.
PL ING OMMT SIGN ACTION; (OCTOBER 31, 1995)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present.
Staff informed the Commission that the applicant had agreed
to staff's recommendation and had reduced the amount of C-1
proposed to the 8.20 acres currently zoned C-1. The
remaining 5.26 acres of Parcel "C" was proposed to be 110-2."
Staff also informed the Commission that a minor amendment to
the Chenal District Land Use Plan corresponding to the
proposed zoning was required. Staff recommended approval of
the amended application which basically corresponded to the
staff recommendation and of the amendment to the Land Use
Plan.
The amended rezoning request and
were placed on the Consent Agenda
