• the site is 1. 5/Multiple Family, 10 to 15 dwellings per gross acre. The surrounding zoning/land uses are as follows: North: R-1 , single family and vacant; South: R-1, PUD substation and vacant; East: R-2 , single family; and West: R-1 , vacant. The areas on two sides of the property are composed of single family uses. The City does not currently have a zoning designation which implements the General Plan designation for the subject site. The rezone proposal was reviewed for conformance with the General Plan policies which relate to the Low Density Multiple Family map designation for the site. The General Plan includes a policy which states, "Multiple Family Residential projects should provide adequate separation, landscaping, buffering, or screening from areas designated for less intensive more sensitive uses. " The General Plan also includes a policy which states, "Areas designated for low density multiple family residential uses should allow single family attached, twin house, duplex, townhouse, house, and a limited amount of low-rise multiple family residential uses at 10 to 15 dwelling units per gross acre. " City Council finds that these policies require a substantial transition/separation from single family to multiple family uses that has not been met on the proposed development site plan. The Council finds that greater separation between the existing single family uses and the multiple family uses and/or the provision of a greater mix of housing types (including duplexes and triplexes) within the proposal is necessary to comply with the policies in the General Plan. CONCLUSION The plan proposed for development of the site does not provide adequate transition/separation from the existing single family uses in the surrounding area. The proposed rezone is therefore not in conformance with the General Plan. 2
