PURSUANT TO THE GENERAL PLAN, PLANNING FRAMEWORK CHAPTER, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RESERVES THE AUTHORITY TO RECOMMEND LAND USE PLAN CHANGES BASED ON SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED CONDITIONS. SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED CONDITIONS INCLUDE (may meet any of these):

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. The subject property is part of the established Town Hall East residential neighborhood, and its only access is at the end of N Burns Road, a 15-ft wide local street. There have been no capital improvements to road or utility infrastructure that support the requested sector plan amendment from the LDR (Low Density Residential) to the LI (Light Industrial) land use classification.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. The current LDR status is consistent with this property's location in a single-family residential neighborhood. This designation is not the result of an error or omission in the East City Sector Plan.

CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY, SUCH AS A DECISION TO CONCENTRATE DEVELOPMENT IN CERTAIN AREAS.
1. There are no new government policies that support the LI land use classification at the end of a narrow residential street.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. While there is industrial activity occurring nearby to the west across Spring Hill Road, those I-G-zoned properties have more direct access to I-40 and do not necessarily impact the residential neighborhood south of it with heavy trucking traffic. This is not the case at the subject property's location, where the only access is through residential streets accessing lots within the Hillside Protection area.
