E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The property owner, Shirley M. Bell, of the 8.53 acre tract along the north
side of Highway 10, approximately 0.4 mile east of Ferndale Cut -Off Road
is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family Residential
District to "AF" Agriculture and Forestry District. The owner requests the
rezoning for private recreational use and possibly a future plant nursery.
The 8.53 acre tract is undeveloped and wooded, with varying degrees of
slope. There are two (2) small accessory buildings on the site and a
canvas tent structure. There is undeveloped R-2 zoned property to the
north and west, with single family structures on large lots to the south
across Highway 10. There is a single family residence and a commercial
building (zoned R-2) to the east of the site.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates the majority of this property
as Park/Open Space. The proposed zoning change to AF for private
recreational use and possible future plant nursery does not require a
change to the Plan.
Staff supports the requested rezoning to AF. Staff feels that the rezoning
is appropriate given the fact that the property is located within a very wide
floodplain and very near the floodway. AF zoning at this location should
have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
The applicant should be aware that any future development of the
property will require that a Special Grading and Flood Hazard Permit be
obtained from the City's Public Works Department.
