The property in question is bounded by the Brooklyn Boulevard frontage road on the east, by 53rd Avenue North on the south, by single-family homes fronting on Northport Drive to the west and by the Northport Medical Clinic to the north. The lots in question are all part of Auditor's Subdivision 216 (they have metes and bounds legal descriptions) and range in width from roughly 70' to 140'. The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) in which he states his own reasons for seeking the rezoning. He points out that there are apartments and double - bungalows roughly within one block of the proposed rezoning (the double - bungalows are zoned Rl and continue as nonconforming uses). He also states that an R2 zoning is consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan recommendation for this area (low density residential which includes R1 and R2). In addition, he observes that the two vacant lots in this area are rather large (approximately 140' and 100' in width) for single-family. Staff would add that most of the inquiries received concerning these parcels relate to their eligibility for com- mercial development. Finally, the applicant states his intent to remain in the area and keep the premises attractive. In terms of the guidelines for evaluating rezonings (Section 35-208:4 attached), staff would offer the following comments: a. The principal benefit from the proposed rezoning is that it is more likely to allow development of the two vacant properties in this area than the current R1 zoning. Furthermore, develop- ment of these properties should serve to reduce some of the demand for commercial development in the area south of Northport Medical Clinic. b. The R2 zoning classification is considered a low density resi- dential land use by the proposed Comprehensive Plan along with the R1 classification (implied on page 68). The R2 classific- ation allows single; as well as two-family development. c. The district requirements for lot width and area are met by the vacant parcels. Also, the two developed single-family lot immediately south of the clinic would meet the requirements for lot width in the R2 zone whereas, at present, it is substandard by 5 feet for the R1 zone. d. The proposed Comprehensive Plan, recommends that the land to the north of this area eventually be rezoned to Cl if and when a development plan for service/office uses is put forward. The proposed rezoning follows the same trend toward more intensive land use along Brooklyn Boulevard within the limits established by the guide plan. 8-28-80 -1- Application No. 80032 continued e. Not a City -initiated rezoning. f. The proposed zoning would create no substandard or nonconforming conditions. g. With respect to the two vacant lots within the propos,edldistrict, they are significantly larger than standard -size R1 lots and are located along a busy major thoroughfare. It could be added that the unanimous opinion of real estate agents inquiring about zoning of properties along the Boulevard is that frontage on Brooklyn Boulevard is a poor location for single family. h. The rezoning would expand the R2 zoning district: 1. within the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan; 2. would make available developable land, of which there is little, if any, in the R2 district; 3. we defer any comment on the best interests of the community to the Planning Commission, City Council and neighboring residents. i. Insofaras the proposed rezoning meets a number of the ordinance guidelines and is consistent with the recommendations for Brooklyn Boulevard contained in the proposed Comprehensive Plan, it seems to have merit to the community as well as the property owner. The proposed rezoning has not been submitted by a group of petitioners made up of affected residents. This department has received no comment either from owners of the affected property or neighboring properties. Staff have recom- mended that a petition be brought although this is not mandatory. The configur- ation of the proposed R2 district was also suggested by staff as a more rational zoning district than a single lot, in view of the fact that existing single- family homes would not become nonconforming. Based on its own review and/or input from affected and surrounding property owners, the Commission, if it feels the rezoning warranted, may recommend that a smaller area be rezoned. It is recommended that any rezoning include the properties immediately south of the Northport Medical Clinic, as well as the large vacant lots to the south. As with all rezoning applications, it is recommended that the Planning Commission table the application and refer it to the Southwest Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent. 8-28-80 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 80032 Applicant: Randall Cook Location: 5301 to 5407 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: To Rezone the Land from 5401 to 5407 Brooklyn Boulevard from R1 to R2. This application was before the Planning Commission on its August 28, 1980 meeting. The application was tabled at that time and referred to the Southwest Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. Chairman Hawes met with members of the advisory group and with other affected residents in the area at the Northport Elementary School on September 18, 1980. A copy of the minutes to that meeting is attached. No petition signed by owners of the affected properties has yet been received, however. No opposition to the proposed rezoning was expressed at the neighborhood advisory group meeting. The comments of staff on the proposed rezoning were summarized in the previous report on this application (attached) and will not be repeated here. It should be pointed out that the Planning Commission must make its recommendation to the City Council by its October 23, 1980 meeting to meet the time limits estab- lished by the Zoning Ordinance. If no petition of affected property owners has been received by Thursday's meeting, staff would recommend tabling the application until the October 23, 1980 meeting to give the applicant a chance to submit the petition. Such a petition is not a requirement for rezoning property; however, in cases such as the present one, it is good planning practice. Should such a petition not be submitted by October 23, staff would encourage the Commission to make some recommendation on the application. If the Commission feels favorably toward the proposal, it could 'recommend that a smaller area be rezoned. The zoning of property should, in any case, be based on a rational approach with comprehensive planning principles in mind rather than on the basis of private interests.
