The General Plan designation for the.site is <br /> 1.5/Multiple Family, 10 to 15 dwellings per gross acre. The <br /> surrounding zoning/land uses are as follows: North: R-1, single <br /> family and vacant; South: R-1, PUO substation and vacant; East: <br /> R-2, single family; and West: R-1,vacant. The areas on two sides <br /> of the property are composed of single family uses. <br /> The City does not currently have a zoning designation which <br /> implements the General Plan designation far the subject site. The <br /> s reviewed for conformance with the General Plan <br /> gMte:"Xtg'relate Si the Low Density Multiple Family map <br /> t designation for the site. The General Plan includes a policy which <br /> states, "Multiple Family Residential projects should provide <br /> adequate separation,landscaping, buffering,or screening from areas <br /> designated for less intensive more sensitive uses."The General Plan <br /> also Includes a policy which states, "Areas designated for low <br /> density multiple family residential use should allow single family <br /> attached,twin house,duplex,townhouse,house,and a limited amount <br /> of low-rise multiple family residential uses at 10 to 15 Ole OH <br /> units per gross area. City Council finds that these policies <br /> require a substantial transition/separation from single family to <br /> multiple family uses that has not been met on the proposed <br /> development site plan. The Council finds that greater separation <br /> between the existing singlefamater ily uses and the multiple family uses <br /> and/or the provision of a gremix of housing types (including <br /> duplexes and triplexes) within the proposal is necesasry to comply <br /> twith the policies in the General Plan. <br /> CONCLUSION: The plan proposed for development of the site does not <br /> ' provide adequate transition/separation from the existing single <br /> family uses in the surrounding area. The proposed rezone is <br /> kJ)404 therefore not in conformance with the General Plan. <br /> I FINDINGS: Based an a wetland study and mitigation plan completed <br /> 1,: th site, there are approximately .62 acre of wetland on the <br />' a , <br /> site. A wetland mitigation plan was prepared for the site in <br />;= I February of 1989. Due to revisions in the proposal as a result Of <br /> , [ <br /> ill <br />
