The property is in the Crystal Valley Planning District. The adopted Plan recommends SF (Single Family) for the site. R -7A is a single family zoning district that provides for placement of a single family dwelling, either a manufactured home or an on-site constructed home, on an individual lot. As such, the request conforms to the adopted Plan. The property is not within an area covered by a neighborhood action plan. No action plan is proposed for this area in the immediate future. STAFF ANALYSIS The request before the Commission is to rezone this 1.41± acre tract from "R-2" Single Family to "R -7A" Manufactured Home district and to approve a site plan allowing for placement of a 16' X 801, manufactured home on the site. The applicant was not aware of the zoning restrictions and has already placed the home on the site. The City initiated enforcement and the applicant filed for the rezoning and site plan review. The property is located outside of the city limits but within the City's Planning and Zoning jurisdiction. The site is located at the southeast corner of Raines Road and Merry Lane. Only the immediate homesite has been cleared. The remainder of the 1.41± acre tract is heavily wooded. Placement of the home does exceed all required setbacks but the home has not yet been permanently sited, pending resolution of the rezoning request. A single driveway accesses the site from Merry Lane. The surrounding area is rural in nature, consisting primarily of single family homes on larger tracts and large areas of undeveloped, heavily wooded land. The property across Raines Road to the north is mostly wooded and undeveloped. A vacant residential structure is located within this wooded area. The wooded tracts immediately adjacent to the east and south are also owned by this same property owner. Her home is located south of this site.
