public road or 500 feet from the OHW, whichever is closer to the water body. In this case, the public road to the south varies from being 500 feet to over 80o feet from the OHW.A rezoning of a portion of these properties to Forest Management would not meet the minimum lot size and dimension standards for that zoning district. 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, with each property being more than 40,000 square feet in size or greater. 6. Three of the properties meet the minimum lot width standard of loo feet for the Shoreline Residential zone. Lots 4, 5, & 6B each have about 150 feet of shoreline, while Lot 3A is only 50 feet wide. Lot 3A was previously acquired by the current property owner to add to the size of the other lots under his ownership. 7. Rezoning to Shoreline Residential would be compatible with the surrounding zoning classifications as the adjoining properties to the west and east are also Shoreline Residential and the property to the south of the road is Rural Residential. 8. Rezoning these properties entirely to Shoreline Residential would not constitute a down- zoning as these properties were previously zoned Residential with similar provisions governing their use. Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can recommend that the City Council approve,deny,or table this rezoning.
