The applicant seeks a rezone from General Commercial (GC) to Low- Density Residential (R-l) for single-family residential development. Analysis: In considering this request, Staff reviewed the following Comprehensive Plan elements: Land Use, Thoroughfare System, Parks and Recreation, Utility Infrastructure, and Residential Development. The specific issues considered are as follows: Land Use -- Review of the City's Land Use Plan shows the subject tracts developing as low density residential with some commercial uses. Currently, the adjacent properties are primarily single-family residential and public institution with a few commercial uses. The proposed rezone is appropriate with these uses. Transportation - The subject tract gains access on North "L" Street, an arterial roadway with 80' ROW, may accommodate the additional traffic generated by future residential development.
