The applicant is requesting a rezone from the "I" (Institutional) zone to the R-4 (Multi -Family) zone togetherwith a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment from public and quasi public to high density residential. 2. The parcel is vacant, 2± acres in size and has been part of the First Christian Church property. 3. The proposal lies adjacent to a vacant R-4 zoned parcel to the west and to a developed R-4 zoned parcel to the south. To the north is the First Christian Church and to the east is the Auburn Stake Center. 4. The proposal fronts on "F" Street S.E. which is a designated arterial which is currently developed to City standards. 5. The applicant is proposing a 17 unit multi -family complex. The site, if zoned R-4, would be large enough to accommodate 36 units. 6. The "I" (Institutional) zone, was established on the property in 1987 as part of the area wide zoning done by the City. The primary reason the "I" zone was placed on the property was to recognize the ownership boundaries of the First Christian Church. 7. Related Comprehensive Plan Objectives and Policies: Objective 19.4. To provide for the need for multiple family dwellings by people within the local area, while avoiding conflict with single family residential areas. Policies: 19.4.1. Multiple family dwellings shall not be permitted as a matter of right in Designated Single Family neighborhoods, but should be permitted only where necessary to remove potential blight, to ------------------- Ordinance No. 4385 November 28, 1989 Page 2 CITY CLE CJTY 0 25 A Au bu rn, 2 3 4 5 6 7 � 8 0 9 10 11 Cn 12 00 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 'S OFFICE �UBURN- t Main k 98001 buffer single family uses from incompatible uses or activities, or to allow effective use of vacant areas. Standards for such siting should provide for design review to ensure compatibility and provide that the density of development is consistent with the density of the adjoining single family uses. 19.4.2. Siting of moderate density units shall be encouraged as a buffer between single family areas and more intense uses. Such buffering is appropriate along arterials where existing platting prevents effective lot layout for single family units. Also, such buffering is appropriate between single family areas and commercial and industrial uses. Where there are established single family areas the design and siting of these units shall be controlled to reduce potential conflicts and to ensure buffering of uses. Higher density units are not to be considered such a buffer. 19.4.3. Higher density developments or larger scale multiple family developments should be limited to residential areas which are either not well suited for single family uses or areas in which such development can be developed as a unit with the necessary supporting facilities. Such development shall provide adequate access by developed arterials with minimal potential to generate traffic through designated single family areas. Extensive buffering measures may be required where such areas adjoin single family residential areas. Where feasible, new multi -family development should be planned in conjunction with single family and moderate density development 19.4.4. In considering where future higher density development should locate, priority shall be given to designated Special Planning Areas where such use can be balanced and planned with single family areas. 19.4.5. Unless required for other purposes, the need for new higher density developments shall be based on local need for such units and should not ------------------- Ordinance No. 4385 November 28, 1989 Page 3 JTY CIER -S OFFICE CITY OF UBURN 25 WO t Main Auburn, V,A 98001 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 substantially exceed a fair regional share of such housing. 19.4.6. Multiple -family developments should be located functionally convenient to the necessary supporting facilities including utilities, arterials, parks, transit service, etc. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map designations, zoning and existing uses in the area. 2. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies in that it does not conflict with single family areas, the reduced density is compatible with adjoining uses, all the supporting facilities, i.e. utilities and arterials are present to serve the proposal. 3. The existing Public/Quasi/Public Comprehensive Plan Map designation and "I" zone reflect the church ownership. If there were to be a use proposed other than related to the church, the most appropriate would be a compatible multi -family use.
