Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Request to consider General Plan Amendment A16-0004/Rezone Z16-0011/Dowler submitted by Ray and Naomi Dowler to request to amend the General Plan land use designation from High-Density Residential (HDR) to Commercial (C) and rezone from One-acre Residential (R1A) to Commercial, Limited (CL) for a 0.11 acre portion of a 1.61 acre parcel. This General Plan Amendment and Rezone would affect the existing shop located at the southern corner of the parcel and would result in a split land use designated parcel and split zone. The remaining parcel would continue to have a General Plan land use designation of High-Density Residential (HDR) and a zoning designation of One-acre Residential (R1A). The property, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 074-173-01, consisting of 1.61 acres, is located on the east side of Main Street, approximately 330 feet south of the intersection with State Route 193, in the Greenwood area, Supervisorial District 4. (County Planner: Emma Carrico) (Negative Declaration prepared)
On August 23, 2018, staff presented the project to the Planning Commission (Legistar 18-1187), including a summary of issues and questions considered at the first Planning Commission hearing on December 14, 2017 (Legistar 17-1311). The applicant also gave a brief description of the project to the Commissioners. Commissioner Vegna repeated questions from the first hearing on the adequacy of parking for the commercial use. Commissioner Williams led a discussion on the potential merits of adding a Design Review-Community (-DC) combining zone overlay to the proposed commercial zone change. No public comments were received for the August 23, 2018, hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project to the Board by a 4-1 (Williams) vote.
