SUBJECT:
Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. XX, 1993, Rezoning 37.0 acres, from T, Transition, to R-L-P, Low
Density Planned Residential, with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a request to rezone 37.0 acres, known as Timberline Park, from T, Transition, to R-L-P, Low Density
Planned Residential, with a PUD condition. The site is located approximately one half mile south of Harmony
Road, on the west side of Timberline Road. The intended future use is for single family residential.
The petitioners for this rezoning are Gerald and Elizabeth Dusbabek, the owners of the property.
The property was annexed into the City with the South Harmony Annexation in February of 1986 and placed in the
T, Transition District. A rezoning is necessary before any development can be reviewed on this property. The
existing zoning designation is an interim designation, or "holding zone", which does not allow any uses "by -right".
The requested rezoning is R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential with a PUD condition. The R-L-P designation
is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density, and building placement. The R-L-P District
permits those uses listed in the R-L, Low Density Residential District as follows:
single family dwellings
public and private schools for elementary and high school
public and nonprofit quasi -public recreational uses
public utility installations
churches
group homes, subject to approval by special review
accessary buildings and uses
land uses located on a PUD plan as defined, processed, and approved according to the Land Development
Guidance System.
A PUD condition is being recommended, therefore all of the above uses would be subject to a PUD plan as defined,
processed, and approved according to the Land Development Guidance System.
The rezoning request is in conformance with the following City Land Use Policy:
76. Low density residential uses should locate in areas which have easy access to parks (future park at Jr. High
School 1994), schools (Jr. High School 1994), and major employment centers (Oakridge and Hewlett-
Packard).
This rezoning request has been reviewed against policies and goals of the Harmony Corridor Plan (HCP) and staff
finds that the request is in conformance with the plan. The HCP encourages the uses of the LDGS as a development
review system for properties in the corridor. The property is located .with frontage on an arterial street, thus the
PUD requirement will enable more careful review of the arterial streetscape and design. The PUD process allows
the flexibility of a variety of housing types, building placement, residential densities, and the possible introduction
of neighborhood level office or retail services.
