McCarty Street, Rezoning from C-2 to RA -1 and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. (continued from September 10 meeting) Request filed by Price Development Company LLC, property owner, John Price, authorized representative, to rezone 0.49 acres from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi -family Residential and an amendment to the development plan map of the Comprehensive Plan to show the property as High Density Residential. The property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of E. McCarty Street and Doehla Drive and is described as lots 18 and 19 of Doehlas Subdivision, Jefferson City, Missouri. Nature of Request The property consists of two lots fronting on E. McCarty Street that were platted in 1955 as part of Doehla's Subdivision. The property owner has had the property listed for sale as a commercial site for a number of years, but has been unsuccessful in selling the property. The property owner has been approached about potential multi -family residential development of the property, and is seeking a rezoning to a multi -family residential district in order to make the property available for a buyer interested in developing the property in a residential manner. An amendment to the development plan map to show the property as intended for high density residential use is also proposed in order to support the requested rezoning. Zoning History The property has been zoned C-2 General Commercial since incorporation into the City in 1968. The property has never been developed. Zoning and Surrounding Land Use Current Zoning: C-2 Requested Zoning: RA -1 Current Use: Vacant Intended Use: Multi -family Residential Allowed Uses: Pending approval of the recent Zoning Code amendment by the City Council, the RA -1 district will permit multi -family residential buildings with four units or less and a maximum density of 12 units per acre. This amendment was approved by the City Council on September 21.

This amendment was approved by the City Council on September 21. Staff Analysis Standard checklist for rezoning: Yes No Notes: Complies with Comprehensive Plan X The Comprehensive Plan development plan map identifies this property as intended for Commercial Use. A proposed amendment to the development plan map would support the requested rezoning. Has access to necessary utilities X Necessary utilities serve the property. A sewer line extension may be necessary to serve the western lot. Located outside flood zone X The property does not lie within the 100 year floodplain. Meets district size requirement X The minimum size for the RA -1 district is one acre. Although the property consists of less than one acre, when combined with the existing multi -family residential use to the west it would meet the one acre requirement.

After rezoning, the allowed uses would be X The adjacent property to the north is zoned compatible with uses allowed in adjacent districts residential and the property to the west is developed in a multi -family residential manner. After rezoning, the allowed uses would be X The current land use of the properties to the compatible with adjacent existing land uses north, east, and west is residential. If not rezoned, the owner would be deprived of use X The property to the north and west is used advantages enjoyed by surrounding owners residentially. reverses of zoning) The requested rezoning would be an expansion of X The property would need to be paired with the an existing district adjacent property to the west, which is currently a non -conforming multi -family residential use in the C-2 district, in order to meet this re uirement. Staff Recommendation Staff supports the requested rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment. The request would be an expansion of the adjacent multi -family residential use, which (although currently zoned C-2 General Commercial) is intended for high density residential use as represented on the development plan map. The multi -family residential use of this property is more compatible with the adjacent residential uses than many uses that are permitted in the C-2 district. Staff recommends pursuing a rezoning of the adjacent property to the west from C-2 to RA -1 in order to bring that property into conformance with the Zoning Code, match the intended use outlined on the Development Plan map, and meet the one acre minimum district size for this pocket of multi -family zoning. A staff initiated proposal to rezone the adjacent property is taken up by a separate case. Form of Motion 1. Motion for approval of the request to amend the Development Plan Map of the Comprehensive Plan to show the property as High Density Residential. 2. Motion for approval of the request to rezone the property from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi - Family Residential.
