Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 3.2 du/ac. (Applicant requested 3.9 du/ac.)PR is an appropriate zone for residential development of this site and is consistent with the sector plan recommendation for the property, which is within the Planned Growth Area on the Growth Policy Plan. The recommended density of up to 3.2 du/ac is consistent with the slope protection recommendations of the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan (HRPP) for residential densities and development. At the requested density of 3.9 du/ac, the proposal exceeds (by 7 units) the maximum 32 units recommended in the HRPP. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant has reasonable use of the property at the current density. Except for the CA zoning to the north, all adjacent zoning is Agricultural, which requires a minimum lot size of 1 acre.
