MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER~...d--
FROM:
DATE:
SEPTEMBER 19, 1994
SUBJECT: CONSIDER INITIATING A REZONING
OF SANDPIPER ESTATES
ISSUE
As set forth in Resolution No. 94-91 amending the Western Area Phase II
Improvement Project deleting Sandpiper Estates, one of the conditions set
forth is that the City will rezone Sandpiper Estates to an appropriate zoning
designation providing for a minimum lot size of one acre for those properties
not connected to City sewer and water. At this time, one option may be to
consider the RIb (Single Family Residential) zoning district which requires a
minimum lot size of one acre for non sewered areas and a minimum lot size of
12,000 square feet when City services are available. Either this zoning
district or a new zoning district with comparable standards should be
consider for the Sandpiper Estates subdivision.
REQUESTED ACTION
It is recommended the City Council initiate the rezoning of Sandpiper
Estates subdivision to an appropriate zoning designation to maintain a
minimum lot size of one acre until City services are made available. If the
City Council initiates this rezoning application, staff will present the
rezoning to the Planning Commission on October 25, 1994, and forward that
application to the City Council on November 21, 1994.
