Approve the MU-SD, NWC-1 (Callahan Drive Mixed Use Special District) land use classification because it would be an extension of this classification, and it is consistent with the surrounding development.The HP (Hillside Protection) Overlay would be retained.
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. No known new roads or utilities have been introduced to this area.
AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. There are no apparent errors or omissions in the Northwest City Sector Plan with regard to the subject properties. However, the property has a sliver of MU-SD, NWC-1 classification along the northern boundary and this would be an extension of this classification.
CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY, SUCH AS A DECISION TO CONCENTRATE DEVELOPMENT IN CERTAIN AREAS.
1. There are no known changes in adopted government policy pertaining to this area.
TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. Recent developments in the broader area primarily include commercial developments along Callahan Drive and Central Avenue Pike. The subject parcel, accessed via a local street, has remained undeveloped with its commercial land use and zoning designations. Approval of the Callahan Drive Mixed Use Special District would allow residential development on this parcel, which would be compatible with surrounding developments. The property has easy access to commercial services along nearby classified streets and several amenities in Inskip Neighborhood, which would support any residential development here.
