AGENDA TITLE:
Title
MI-16-03: Consideration of a Text Amendment to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance on a 4.4-acre property located at the northwest corner of the Northern Avenue alignment and Scottsdale Road (Parcel No. 174-36-002X)
Body
Action
ACTION:
There are no timing requirements prescribed to act on the text amendment request. However, the recommendation taken on the Major General Plan amendment will likely be associated with the recommendation on the text amendment request. As such, three action possible options are outlined below.
Option 1 Recommendation of Approval
The Planning Commission recommends forwarding to the Town Council approval of MI-16-03 to amend the Town’s Zoning Ordinance, Section 201 and Section 801, to allow the “R-10 Single-Family Residential District” to apply to the subject property, provided the related applications that include the Major General Plan amendment, the rezoning, the platting, the Conditional Use Permit for the private road, and the Special Use Permit for the private roadway gates are non-severable with an effective date that is dependent upon the approval and recordation of the final plat and submittal of the Proposition 207 waiver. Said amendment shall be as follows (with deletions shown as strikethroughs and additions shown in bold type):
Article II, Definitions, Section 201, is hereby amended:
R-10 District: This district applies to previously annexed the subdivisions known as Mountain Shadows East, Mountain Shadows West, and Colonia Miramonte, and the Villas at Cheney Estates. This district is intended for single-family dwellings and uses incidental or accessory thereto, with a lot size of at least 10,000 square feet.
Article VIII, (R-10) Single-Family Residential District, Section 801, is hereby amended:
Section 801. Purpose: This district applies to previously annexed the subdivisions known as Mountain Shadows East, Mountain Shadows West, and Colonia Miramonte, and the Villas at Cheney Estates. This district is intended for single-family dwellings and uses incidental or accessory thereto, with a lot size of at least 10,000 square feet.
Option 2 Recommendation of Denial
The Planning Commission recommends forwarding to the Town Council denial of MI-16-03 to amend the Town’s Zoning Ordinance, Section 201 and Section 801, to allow the “R-10 Single-Family Residential District.” This recommendation is based on the denial of GP-16-01, a Major General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from "Low Density Residential" to "Medium Density Residential.”
Option 3 Recommendation of Continuance
The Planning Commission recommends continuing their action to the regular meeting of (December 6, 2016 or other specified meeting date or an unspecified meeting date) to allow for additional time to understand the impact of the text amendment request as it relates to the related applications to develop (8) residential lots, each lot being under one acre in size.
