  13. Rezoning Criteria: yes, no? • Trade-offs: • Provides legislative authority to deny; policy driven • But equal treatment: must use each time! • Is it a suitable use given nearby property? • Does it adversely affect the use/usability of nearby property? • Does current zoning allow reasonable economic use? • Will/could it cause burden on infrastructure or schools? • Does it conform w/ adopted land use plan & policy intent? • Are there changing conditions which give supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval?

  14. Limited Tree Regulations? • For NEW development and COMMERCIAL redevelopment only • EXEMPT individual Residential lots • No clear cutting • Establish number of required tree cover on the site (“units” per acre) • Inventory existing trees on site; special weight for speciman trees • Indicate which will stay and which will go • Indicate replacement plan

  15. Conservation Subdivision • Allow by-right in any residential zoning district • Conserves open space – 45% • Requires a mix of lot size • Consider allowing greater number of units as incentive • Integrate into surrounding by requiring lots on the perimeter to be compatible with lot sizes of adjacent

  16. Next Steps: • Commissioners review key sections (e.g. use table); provide comments • Review by City Attorney and Staff; provide consultant consolidated comments • Consultant final revisions • June 14 consider adoption • Implementation: maintenance (amend as needed as code is tested; yearly review recommended)
