The request is to change a zoning of Fairmont Park East, Sections 6-8 and detention reserve to the east of Driftwood Drive from High -Density Residential (R-3) to Low -Density Residential (R-1). The City is seeking this request based on the Land Use Plan. Staff has researched the zoning designation of these sections dating back to the 1984 Comprehensive Plan and Thoroughfare Plan. The present High Density Residential (R-3) zoning designation was assigned as a result of an overall rezoning of the City and to provide buffers near the airport and a Commercial Land -Use designation to the east of this area. The current zoning map shows zoning of the rest of Fairmont Park East as Low -Density Residential (R-1). In addition, the adopted Land -Use Plan indicates low density residential uses for this area instead of high density residential uses. With the existing single-family dwellings on site and conformance to the Land Use Plan, the present zoning designation of R-3 is inappropriate. The requested change conforms to the zoning and uses of nearby properties. It will not negatively impact the existing homes or surrounding properties and will not harm the value of existing properties. Granting this requested change would be in agreement with the Land Use and Comprehensive Plan. Two hundred eighty eight notices of public hearing were mailed to surrounding property owners; eleven responses (all in favor) were received. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, has recommended City Council approval of Rezone Request #R10-001. Action Required by Council: t public hearing. r taking action on recommendation by Planning and Zoning Commission to approve Request #R10-001 for the property located east of Driftwood Drive, from R-3 to R-1.
