Disposition Summary
APPROVE A (Agricultural) with the following condition: permitted uses shall be limited to any use permitted by RA zoning that is also permitted in the A zone, with the exception that up to three farm animals may be maintained on the property as pets
Staff Recommendation
DENY A (Agricultural) zoning
Agricultural zoning would be contrary to the surrounding residential zoning and development pattern. The sector plan proposes low density residential use for this site.

At the December meeting the Planning Commission asked staff to develop an alternative recommendation for conditional zoning of the property. The following is a recommendation for approval with one condition:

APPROVE A (Agricultural) with the following condition:

1. Permitted uses shall be limited to any use permitted by RA zoning that is also permitted in the A zone, with the exception that up to five farm animals may be maintained on the property as pets.
