are requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family Residential

residence. There is a driveway from Ferndale Cut -Off Road which serves
as access. The remainder of the property is undeveloped and wooded,
with varying degrees of slope.
The general area contains a large amount of undeveloped R-2 zoned
property. A single family home, volunteer fire department and
undeveloped property are located across Highway 10 to the north. There

homes along Cameronwood Lane located further south. A landscape

The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Low Density
Residential. The applicant has filed a land use plan amendment for a
change to commercial which is Item 12. on this agenda.
Staff is supportive of the rezoning to C-3, as long as the property is
developed in compliance with the Highway 10 Design Overlay District
standards. Currently the Highway 10 DOD boundaries extend from 1-430
west to Highway 300. Staff is in the process of reviewing an amendment
to the Highway 10 DOD to extend the district boundaries from Highway
300 west to the City's extraterritorial zoning boundary. This issue will be
on an upcoming Planning Commission agenda. Development of this
property as per the Highway 10 DOD standards should provide
appropriate building setbacks and buffering from the adjacent single family
residential property to the west and south. The applicant has submitted a
letter to staff stating that future development of the property will meet the
design overlay district standards.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning to C-3, subject to
the future development of the property conforming to the Highway 10
Design Overlay District Ordinance requirements.
