7. CPA-2010-3/CPZ-2010-1 Kentara Short Plat Lot #21
Planning Manager Charlene Anderson stated that the Kentara site under
consideration for a land use plan map amendment is located west of 104th Avenue SE
and just north of the 272nd/277th Street Corridor. The application seeks to amend the
comprehensive plan land use map for Lot #21 parcel from Urban Separator (US)
entirely to Single Family Residential, 6 Dwelling Units per acre (SF-6).
Anderson stated that the sensitive area tracts and easements restrictions are not
changed by any re-designations on the land use plan map. She illustrated the
topography of the subject site. She stated that a portion of Lot 21 was part of a
larger locally-designated urban separator, defining Urban Separators as low density
areas typically zoned SR-1 or 1 dwelling unit per acre.
Anderson described five options for consideration: (1) No Action, (2) Option 1
(Schneider Application), 6 Dwelling Units per Acre (SF-6), (3) Option 2A (No Net
Loss-Swap) (4) Option 2B (No Net Loss-Swap and Addition), and (5) Option 2C (No
Net Loss-SF-6 and Addition).
Anderson stated that staff recommends approval of the applicant’s proposal. Option 1
meets the standard of review for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map, is an insignificant adjustment to the Urban Separator lands, and does not set a
precedent of using publicly-owned property to offset privately-owned property in
terms of no net loss of urban separators.
Anderson stated that this proposal will go before the Economic & Community
Development Committee (ECDC) on April 11 and to City Council on April 19.
Subsequently, it is anticipated that the public hearing for the rezone will go to the
Hearing Examiner in May and to City Council in June.
Anderson described eleven (11) exhibits that she submitted for the record.
Board member Ottini Moved and Board member Dowell Seconded a Motion
to accept the Exhibits into the record. Motion PASSED 6-0.
Chair Ralph declared the Public Hearing Open.
