MEMORANDUM
TO: City Councilmembers
FM: Tom Peterson, Di ctor of Planning
TH; James M. D r of Development Services
RE: Noel Annexation and Zoning
The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to several questions which were
raised at the Mayor's breakfast meeting concerning the Noel Annexation and
Zoning.
1. How is the R-L-P zone different from the R-L?
The only difference between the R-L and the R-L-P zone is in the stated
purpose for each zone as contained in the City Code. The R-L designation
is for low density residential areas located throughout the city. The R-L-P
designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation is use,
density and building placement. There are essentially no differences
between the two zones, each allows the same uses -by -right and any land
use located on a planned unit development processed and approved through
the Land Development Guidance System. The uses -by -right are: single-
family dwellings; public and private schools; essential public utility and
service installations; churches; group homes, subject to special review; and
accessory buildings and uses.
2. Will the application of zoning(s) the property be covered entirely by the
LDGS?
The portion of the property to be placed in the R-F zone will not be
covered by the LDGS. The LDGS is not a listed use -by -right in the R-F
zone. The Cluster Development process of the R-F zone, necessary to
achieve 1 unit per acre density, requires site plan approval by the
Planning and Zoning Board. The issues normally addressed by the LDGS
can be reviewed under the site plan review process of the R-F zone.
Staff has prepared revisions to the ordinance zoning the property.. The portion
to be placed in the R-L-P zone now requires the use of the LDGS for develop-
ments proposed for that part of the property while site plan reviews are
required for the area to be zoned R-F.
