LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT
The site is located outside of the city limits but is within
the City's Planning Boundary and zoning jurisdiction. 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.
The manufactured home is to be occupied by the property
owner's daughter and her family. A site -built single family
