The Mountain Vista Subarea Plan rezoning involves approximately 1.100 acres located east of Lemay Avenue, north of East Vine Drive, west of I-25, south of Richards Lake Road, and east of County Road 11. Staff recommends changing the size and location of existing zoning Districts including: Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MMN), Community Commercial (CC), Employment (E), Industrial (I), and Transition(T) (See Exhibit A- Proposed Zoning Map). The existing zoning within the subarwreflected a vet general pattern of Districts. The Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District predominately was:located on the western half. The Community Commercial District is�entr-Ay4ocatedat the intersection of Mountain Vista Drive and Summitview Drive. The Employment and Industrial Districts encompassed the eastern half of the area. I The proposed zoning map reflects a more detailed pattern, based on the recommendations of the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. A key change is how the CC District and surrounding MMN District configuration moved southeast of the new alignment of Mountain Vista Drive. In addition, the Industrial and Employment Districts changed to establish abetter transition between residential and industrial uses. i DATE: ITEM NUMBER: 28 The proposed future community park shown on the Mountain Vista Subarea"Framework Plan"will be zoned Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) in the interim, until this property is acquired by the City. Under public ownership,this property will then be zoned Public Open Lands (POL). Adoption of the Ordinance to rezone the Mountain Vista subarea will also amend the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.
