Rezoning of Gila County Parcel 301-03-015A from R1-D35 to R1-D35 w/PAD

Background Information

This parcel is 4.37 acres in size with five residential units. Current zoning regulations allow up to five residential units in R1 zoning districts under certain circumstances. See section 104.2.A.3.b of our zoning regulations. Applicant will divide the 4.37 acre parcel into five lots and intends to utilize the Gila County Small Subdivision process.

Property is impacted by floodplain and floodway in the northern part of the parcel. The 100 year flood plain is the major issue of concern but due to the fact that this proposal is not for the purpose of development but for land ownership only this is not a concern of staff.

This parcel is a family compound and the family members want to divide the parcel into five lots. One of the lots will be a tract and one of the proposed lots will contain two residential units. The tract will be for everyone's use as a recreation area.

The purpose of having the PAD extension added to the zoning district is to allow variable lot size, but where the average area dedicated to each owner will be calculated to be at least 35,000 sq. ft.

Zoning Surrounding the property: To the south of this parcel is R1-D35 undeveloped residential; to the north and west is R1-D35 developed residential and to the east is R1-D12 developed residential.

There are no code compliance issues outstanding on this parcel.

The Comprehensive Plan has designated this property for one to two dwelling units per acre and is appropriate for our Comprehensive Plan.

Citizen Participation meeting was held on May 15,2010 and had no adverse comments from the property owners.

There will be an ingress/egress easement proved during the subdivision process.

Evaluation

N/A

Conclusion

Staff finds the proposed zoning to be compatible with the area and our Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this rezoning is to effect land ownership and allow the current owners to go through the small subdivision process. This will not allow more residential units to be built on the property.

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on August 19th, 2010 to review this application at a public hearing. There were no comments during the public hearing.

The Planning and Zoning Commission motioned to recommend approval of this application to the Board of Supervisors as recommended by Staff.

Recommendation

Approve the rezoning of Gila County Tax Assessor's Parcel 301-03-015A from R1-D35 to R1-D35 with a PAD which will allow parcels to vary from the requirements of minimum lot area, dimensions and setbacks for a D35 lot, average size will be at least 35,000 square feet.
