SECTOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS FROM GENERAL PLAN (May meet any one of these):

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN:
1. In 2008 amd 2022, rezonings have occurred along this side of the railroad tracks to permit consideration of multi-family development. This proposed one year plan amendment continues to recognize that transition.
2. There have been capital improvements in the area along the riverfront, including improvements to Island Home Avenue that included installation of bike lanes, a bus top, sidewalks and benches. However, the subject property is seperated by the railroad tracks and only has street frontage along Hillwood Avenue.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. The City has been holding community meetings regarding a proposed redesign for Hillwood Avenue because of its existing challenging conditions and a redesign and improvements to Hillwood Avenue are anticipated.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. Although there is not an obvious error in the plan, this area was not included as part of the South Waterfront vision plan. The parcel aligns more with Hillwood Avenue than the South Waterfront area and is across the railroad tracks from the parcels that front on Island Home Avenue.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. This area is located in a transitional area between the more intensely developed South Waterfront along Island Home Avenue and the low density residential zoned areas to the south along Hillwood Drive.
2. No new information that has been produced by this agency has revealed the need for a plan amendment. However, local data sources and national data trends note an increased demand for a range of housing opportunities, which an expansion of a RN-5 zoning could enable.
