THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF ANALYSIS
PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT AND ADOPTS THE STAFF REPORT AS PART OF
THE CITY COUNCIL'S FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (adopted November 15, 2017), designates this site as the
following:
Neighborhood Residential
Suitable for single-family residential. Densities range from 2 units per acre to 4 units per acre.
Residential Transition Overlay
Residential development that provides for a transition between land use categories and uses.Commonly
requires a transition/change in density, lot sizing,and building scaling with a specific parcel or project.
Base densities may be reduced or units may be clustered to increase open space within a portion of a
site when property is in this overlay.Neighborhood design will be paramount in this overlay to ensure
appropriate transition between uses. See specific planning areas for further description.
