3. The proposed rezoning to Shoreline Residential meets the compatibility requirements in that the properties are adjacent to the Water Resource zone; the compatibility requirements state that the zone should extend through the first tier of parcels to a public road or 500 feet from the OHW, whichever is closer to the water body. In this case, the public road, Front Street, is the nearest public road which is roughly 500 feet from the OHW. 4. The subject property meets the purpose and intent of the Shoreline Residential district to provide a district for riparian residential development. 5. The property meets the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet for the Shoreline Residential zone, being nearly 10 acres in size, with roughly 3 acres falling within the proposed Shoreline Residential zone. 6. The property meets the minimum lot width standard of 100 feet for the Shoreline Residential zone,being more than 200 feet wide. 7. Rezoning a portion of the property adjacent to State Highway 371 to Commercial would not be compatible with the Future Land Use map which designates this area as future Rural Residential in character. 8. A rezoning of the portion of the property along the Highway to Commercial would be compatible with the surrounding zoning classifications as the adjoining properties to the north and south are currently zoned Commercial and have been developed as such. 9. Rezoning the eastern portion of these properties to Commercial would meet the compatibility requirements for the Commercial district as the subject properties would serve as a buffer between higher intensity commercial areas and `- surrounding residential districts. 10. Rezoning the eastern portion of these properties to Commercial would not constitute spot-zoning as adjoining properties are currently zoned Commercial and properties on the east side of the Highway are also Commercial. The western boundary of the commercial property is a line between the eastern boundary of the platted Front Street and the western boundary of the lot to the south of the subject property. 11. Rezoning these properties entirely to Shoreline Residential would constitute down-zoning as these properties were previously zoned Commercial along State Highway 371. The City has sought to avoid down-zoning unless requested by the property owner. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. APPLICANT: Brian Pahl. Applicant requests Preliminary Plat of Mayo Acres.
