r 1 South: R-1/Single Family Residence; East: R-2/Single Family Residence; 2 West: R-1/Single Family Residence. The areas surrounding the subject 3 property are composed of nice well -established single family neighborhoods. 4 CONCLUSION 5 Rezoning the subject property to R-3 Multiple Family Low Density will 6 result in providing a zoning designation for this property different from 7 and incompatible with that of the surrounding properties which are all 8 designated single family. This is tantamount to a spot zone. Further, it 9 may trigger subsequent rezone requests to the properties immediately south 10 of the subject property creating an adverse impact on the already 11 well -established and maintained single family neighborhoods in the immediate 12 vicinity of the subject property. 13 FINDINGS 14 The neighbors of the subject apartments were concerned about the height 15 of the existing apartment structures as it relates to the blockage of their 16 views. Any redevelopment of the apartments could possibly result in an 17 increase in the height of the structures above their current twenty-four 18 feet height for 1814 60th S.E. , and twenty-two feet for 6010 Colby Avenue. 19 CONCLUSION 20 Potential redevelopment of the subject apartments under the requested 21 rezone could result in potential view blockage of the neighboring 22 residential structures. 23 FINDINGS 24 The applicant for the rezone expressed that he had no intention of 25 demolishing existing buildings nor any immediate intention to redevelop the 26 site. The primary reason for requesting the rezone was for the purpose of 27 financing. 28 CONCLUSION 29 Requesting a rezone of a parcel solely on the basis of financing is not 30 a sufficient basis for allowing a rezone. The applicant has failed to meet 31 his burden of showing the need for the rezone. 32 2
