Existing Zoning. The existing zoning is “▇▇-▇▇” (Attachment C – Zoning Map, excerpt). No changes to the existing zoning are proposed. The property was rezoned on August 9, 2022, from “A” (Agricultural) to “▇▇-▇▇” (Floating Suburban Residential Low-Density) with a Master Plan. The properties to the north are outside the city in Story County and currently row cropped as well as existing farmsteads and row crop land along and across North 500th to the west. The property to the east in floodplain along Clear Creek with some wooded residential lots are zoned “RL” (Residential Low-Density). Properties immediately to the south are zoned “▇▇-▇▇” (Floating Suburban Residential Low-Density) in the existing Sunset Ridge Subdivision which contain single-family detached homes. The amended Master Plan (Attachment E) will govern density with a range of 69-80 units allowed on the site. The net density will be in the range of 4.0-5.5 units per net acre. The net acreage of developable area will be 14-19 acres of the total 28.57 acres. Open space and storm water detention will include 4.5-10.0 acres. The original plan allowed for a maximum of 65 units. The Preliminary Plat and subsequent Final Plat(s) will ensure that the number of units align with the Master Plan. The Master Plan is required based on Section 29.1507(3): when “an application is made for amending the zoning map to designate any property as ‘▇▇-▇▇,’ ‘FS-RM,’ or ‘PUD,’ the applicant must either prepare a Master Plan or request that the City Council determine whether it will be required.” The Master Plan dictates the general street layout, general buildable area in location and acres and number of units as well as net density. The plan also guides the layout of utilities to serve the site. The final configurations of lots and open space is determined during preliminary plat review. Impacts on infrastructure and City services for this parcel are consistent with what is already anticipated for residential use of the property. Public utilities such as water and sewer serving this parcel are located immediately south in the Sunset Ridge development and can be easily extended to this site. Electricity is also available to serve the site. A large sanitary sewer trunk main is required through the site from east to west to accommodate planned future growth to the north and west of this site. A contract zoning agreement was finalized with the developer on August 9, 2022, at time of rezoning to ensure financing and construction of the main. The main is required for future growth beyond this site and as such must be installed with this subdivision. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue and Ellston Avenue will extend into the development from the south connecting into the Sunset Ridge Subdivision’s network of streets and to Lincoln Way. An east to west street will bisect the site to serve the remainder of the area. Sidewalks will be provided throughout the site and an existing shared use path to the south in Sunset Ridge will be extended through the neighborhood along ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue. All the connections and proposed streets are adequate to serve the anticipated traffic generated by this site.
