STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP
ITEM SUMMARY:
Habitat for Humanity is proposing to develop the Woodland Ridge subdivision with four townhome
buildings, which are considered multiple-family dwelling structures and are not permitted in the current
zoning district of R-3 Single-Family Residential. The property is identified as Multi-Family Residential
within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which is consistent with the zoning designation of R-6 Multiple-
Family. The R-6 district permits multi-family dwellings, such as townhomes, by right. The petitioner is
therefore seeking a Zoning Map Amendment to place the property in the R-6 District. The subject
property is roughly 1.75 acres and was previously platted as Woodland Ridge subdivision with seven
lots for single-family homes and a public right-of-way for a cul-de-sac known as Woodland Court. The
lots were never developed and remain vacant and Woodland Court remains unimproved.
At their November 6' meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment.

EXHIBIT “B”
RECOMMENDATION 2024-0-0018
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: PC 24-19
Habitat for Humanity - Woodland Ridge Subdivision
Zoning Map Amendment
DATE: November 6, 2024
DECISION: The motion to approve the Zoning Map Amendment unanimously passed (4-0).
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of
Appeals (PC/ZBA) recommended approval according to the following findings of fact:
1. The existing uses and zoning of the property in question.
The subject property is located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District and is
currently vacant.
2. The existing uses and zoning of other lots in the vicinity.
The property to the north is Don Earley Park, located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential
District. The property to the east is the Main Park apartment complex, located in the R-6
Multiple-Family Dwelling District. The properties to the south are single-family residential
dwellings, located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District. The properties to the west
are single-family residential dwellings, located in the R-5 Single-Family Residential
District.
. Suitability of the property in question for uses already permitted under the existing
regulations.
When the property was platted for seven homes, the current stormwater management
requirements were not in effect and no stormwater management area was required. This
allowed for the entire property to be used for single-family family dwelling lots. Current
regulations now require a sizeable stormwater management area on site, significantly
reducing the developable area for single-family homes.
4. Suitability of the property in question for the proposed use.
With townhomes, the petitioner is able to provide the same amount of dwelling units as
were previously proposed while still accounting for the required stormwater management
area. Townhomes on the site are a better utilization of the property and in keeping with the
Ordinance 24-0-0041

City’s Comprehensive Plan.
5. The trend of development in the vicinity of the property in question, including any recent
zoning activity.
The development in the immediate area is mixed with single-family and multi-family
dwellings. Further to the east is the Woodboro townhome development, with roughly the
same density.
6. The effect the proposed rezoning would have on implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
7. Impact on surrounding properties.
The proposed rezoning will not affect the surrounding properties and will be in keeping
with the mix of residential types in the neighborhood.
8. Impact on health, safety, or welfare of the community.
The proposed rezoning will not have a detrimental impact on the health, safety, nor welfare
of the community. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent
properties. The use of the property as residential is consistent with the surrounding
residential uses.
