MOTION to Approve the February 28, 2017 Minutes as Presented by Commissioner Childress. Second by Commissioner Storey. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. F. ACTION ITEMS (PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS): 1. CASE 17-005 VAR: A Request for Side Yard, Rear Yard, Rear Yard Coverage, and Height Variances for Conversion of Existing Structure into the Primary Residence taking into Consideration Future Additions and/or Porches; Legal Description: Subd: ALLISON REDIV Block: 2 Lot: 9 Quarter: SW S: 29 T: 10S R: 24E BK: 649 PG: 379 WDJT (Owner: Julio Mojica and Yanet Mojica) EXHIBITS: (A) Application; (B) Staff Summary; (C) Letter Notifying Surrounding Property Owners; (D) Chaves County Assessor’s Map Identifying Properties with the Notification Area; (E) List of Property Owners Notified Motion to Waive the Reading of the Land Use and Zoning Considerations and Finding of Facts with Respect to Case 17-005 by Commissioner Armstrong. Second by Commissioner Gross. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of 17-005? Julio Cesar Mojica – owner of the property. Mr. Mojica requested to convert the existing structure into a residential structure and consideration of future additions. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 2 of 9 Richard Madison: Resides at 3109 Chapparal Road and represents BMR properties and own the vacant land across the alley on the Union side of the block and indicated he is in favor of Mr. Mojica’s project. Mr. Madison raised a concern about the alley that goes behind his house and between the properties. The 15' wide alley, makes it difficult for garbage trucks and it looks like big dumpsters in the alley have been removed. Mr. Madison suggested setbacks of 5' or so to put dumpsters in the alley when looking at variance applications. Everyone has put a fence right on the line and people can't be asked to move a fence already installed. Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak against 17-005? None spoke. Mr. Morris: Mr. Morris commented on this development scenario as being an unusual configuration that has been in place a long time. There is a structure on the back property line and a small alley. The applicant's intent is to use what is there and through a building permit make it consistent with the International Building Code. The plat dates back to 1940 when the fifteen foot alley was instituted. The water meter was established in 1970. Mr. Morris agrees a fifteen foot alley is narrow. Newer areas of development without alleys have ninety (90) gallon containers rolled out to front. Commissioner Armstrong: Expressed concern about the alley, and that the trash will probably be picked up on the street side like in newer areas. An easement cannot be changed there. Mr. Najar: Suggested a solution that property owners on each side of the alley donate feet for the alley. Commissioner McDaniel. Asked if there be two houses or just one. Mr. Mojica: The structure was built there when I bought the property. Wants to possibly make an addition on the front. Mr. Najar: There is only one structure at this time. For whatever reason there was an accessory built solely on this property. Ms. Hildreth: Wanted to let the Commission know that the Zoning Office received one phone call concern would be used as a rental. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 3 of 9 MOTION – 17-005 VAR Commissioner Storey made a motion to approve Case 17-005 a variance request taking into consideration the finding of facts, the information presented tonight and the testimony we received. Second by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. 2. CASE 17-006 ZOC: A Request for Change in Zoning from R-3 to C-4 for Properties in the 100 Block of N Missouri Ave; Legal Description: Subd: WEST SIDE Block 18: Lots 8 AND: -Lot: 9 (Montgomery/Owner) Lot: 10 (Myall & Beverage/Owners) Lot: 11 (Taylor Investments/Owner) S: 5 T: 11S R: 24E EXHIBITS: (A) Application; (B) Staff Summary; (C) Letter Notifying Surrounding Property Owners; (D) Chaves County Assessor’s Map Identifying Properties with the Notification Area; (E) List of Property Owners Notified Motion was made to Waive the Reading of the Land Use and Zoning Considerations and Finding of Facts and other relevant materials with related to Case 17-006 by Commissioner Armstrong. Second by Commissioner Gross. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of 17-006? Mr. Najar: The applicant is the City of Roswell. Testifying as the Director of Planning and Engineering, this is a good zone change to promote economic development in the City. I commend Merideth and Staff for bringing this to zoning. Mr. Najar indicated he is in favor of this and hopes to get some business across from the vitamin shop. Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak against 17-006? None spoke Mr. Morris: This is a situation with a thin commercial corridor running east west, to make it more consistent within this one block to help with potential business development in this area. There will be some other areas we will bring forward over time. Commissioner Storey: From the aerial photos, it looks like there are two structures on those four (4) lots. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 4 of 9 Commissioner Armstrong: One was Dr. Montgomery's office and it is vacant, he has moved. Ms. Hildreth: The other structure is a house. Commissioner Storey: Raised the question of who owns the lots. Mr. Morris: Lots are owned by private sector folks. There is commercial on one side of the street, commercial to the north, and an existing office structure used for a long time. There is just the one piece missing which is an old house that could easily be converted. Commissioner Storey: Asked why the City is proposing the zone change. Mr. Najar: We've had some nibbles. There are examples of conversions of houses to attorney’s offices and beauty salons. If we change the zoning there, we may have some bites. The City is taking action to rezone these properties to make the whole block commercial. They are not against it and the City is paying for the zone change. Mr. Morris: This is correcting a development pattern to encourage certain things in some areas and discourage things in other areas. This will establish a pattern to encourage business in certain areas and protect residential areas from commercial incursions that are not appropriate. Re-Zoning is an issue we deal with on a regular basis. This is our first step doing this. There will be other cases we will find should have been done long ago. Chair Brown: Indicated he has no way to know that the owner was notified other than verbal comments from the staff. Mr. Najar: We can get letters of concurrence. Ms. Hildreth: Staff has placed several unanswered calls to the owner of the residence on the block. Staff sent certified letters to all property owners. Mr. Morris: In the future, Staff will include all those letters as part of the record. MOTION – 17-006 ZOC Commissioner Gross made a motion to approve Case 17-006 based on the testimony given before us today with the finding of facts and conclusions of law. Second by Commissioner Armstrong. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 5 of 9 3. Text Amendment: Multi-Generational Housing Mr. Morris: We brought these in a draft form at the last meeting. This one is about accessory housing units to allow family members to stay close to a family group. These are sometimes called Granny Flats or accessory housing units. Limit them to 400 square feet and comply with the building code. Our concern has not been the creation of these units, but what happens to these units with the occupant no longer needs it. What typically happens, these become rental units when no longer needed by the family member. The text amendment proposes review every five years and substantiate the unit is being used for the reason originally approved. The County reviews accessory residential units every three years. In a lot of ways this is an old concept. Commissioner Storey: What happens when the unit is no longer used? Mr. Morris: We are looking at the electrical service or water meter. Maybe an additional water meter installed could be capped off to the back unit when no longer used as family unit. Commissioner Gross: Back in the day, some units had half addresses. If units have separate addresses, they can have separate services. Commissioner McDaniel: Mentioned observing where service has been jumped across from the primary structure (to an accessory structure). He wanted to understand the reasoning behind preventing them from turning into rental properties. Mr. Morris: Especially in single family residential areas, there is an expectation that a certain amount of activity will occur. Commissioner McDaniel: He mentioned the scenario where people with a house rent out two or three bedrooms to a traveling nurse or fireman, there is increased traffic. Speaking as a landlord, people are desperate to find reasonably priced housing in reasonable areas. He doesn’t personally see a problem with allowing the units to be used as rentals. It will be difficult to control this. Chair Brown: As a Commissioner, it’s important that R-1 remains R-1 unless there is a rezoning. It seems the County recently ruled against a property to remove a separate unit that was originally used as a second residence enforced by the County Commissioners. Commissioner McDaniel: Questioned if a R-1 property with more than one unit could be rezoned. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 6 of 9 Mr. Najar: That would be Spot Zoning. Mr. Morris: State Law states that municipalities must allow this and there must be a process to allow the accessory structures for family. The concern is how to make sure a neighborhood stays a neighborhood before going completely rental. The concern is that the accessory residential structure will become a rental. A single family with relatives in the back yard will possibly take care of the property differently than if there is a rental unit in the back yard. Chair Brown: We would be recommending this to City Council with our approval. Mr. Morris: Stated he wanted more comments now. It still has to go through the City’s Legal Committee. Chair Brown: Stated in favor of moving (the text amendment) forward. Commissioner McDaniel: If a property owner had the intention to make it a rental, the property owner would probably want that unit to have its own service for power, gas, and water. One service for both could impede some conversions into rental. MOTION – TEXT AMENDMENT FOR MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOUSING Commissioner Armstrong made a motion to proceed forward with this particular Amendment to the Ordinance 17-XXX to move forward through the steps required. Second by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. one opposed (Commissioner Gross). 4. Text Amendment: Lighting Standards Mr. Morris: These are the lighting standards we talked about before, especially LEDs lighting issues. Mr. Morris spoke with some lighting contractors who have experience with LEDs and how they are different. It's a different lighting source than traditional lighting with some benefits and some impacts. Proposed last time to minimize lighting to 4,000 CCT (Correlated Color Temperature), light poles not to exceed twenty-five feet (25’) in height, and keep them at ninety (90) degrees to prevent light from shining into other people's properties. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 7 of 9 Commissioner Armstrong: This is being adopted all over the country. Mr. Morris: There are different standards. We are finding new stuff about these. They are being used more across the board. Commissioner Armstrong: What did the city do at the Convention Center’s (new parking lot)? Mr. Najar: (The parking lot lights are) LED with the temperature a little more than the 4,000 CCT and pointed downward at ninety (90) degrees to Night Skies regulations. The American Medical Association has published information that when the lights are brighter than 4,000, the white or blue light is almost sunlight, it’s not good at night for the human brain and human activity. A human has to have some sort of night. Remember when a car went under the old sodium street lights, what color was it (the vehicle)? You couldn’t tell the color. With the 4000 CCT, you can tell the color of a vehicle, but it doesn’t imitate sunlight or daytime conditions like the highest temperature and highest lumens. LEDS are cheaper to run than the sodium bulbs and halide bulbs. Like Bill said, we are trying to get ahead of this issue (with this text amendment) and be responsible for Night Skies, and don't want it too bright because we will have neighbors complaining. Commissioner McDaniel: I think the most important thing is the angle facing down. Commissioner Gross: This is a good way to go. MOTION – TEXT AMENDMENT LIGHTING STANDARDS Commissioner Storey made a motion that our commission gives this a positive note to move on to City Council for the proposed ordinance text amendment for street lighting. Second by Commissioner McDaniel. The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 8 of 9 G. OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. Morris: If anyone has any additional comments, information, recommendations before text amendments go to the Legal Committee, we welcome it. Chair Brown: Until items go to City Council there will be discussions and changes made. Bill, you did a good job on getting the core and essence of it. H. PUBLIC COMMENTS Richard Madison, residing at 3109 Chaparral: Has anyone approached recycling the water at the splash pad? Mr. Najar: We looked at recycling (water) and the cost and return versus what we are paying for water, and the rate of return wasn't there for recycling. Albuquerque has been recycling water at the zoo where bacteria was growing on play surfaces at the splash pad, and had to close it a couple of times. We decided not to recycle for safety and hygiene considerations and recycling takes much more maintenance. Commissioner McDaniel: So this water goes straight to the sewer. Is there any way it could be used to water the park? Mr. Najar: We didn’t look at it that way. We looked at the cost, did our homework, checked with other splash pads, checked with other concrete surfaces. When we made the decision, we were thinking about the kids number one. Commissioner Gross: Has the splash pad been opened a full year already? Mr. Najar: We will be in the second year in May. Mr. Najar: We will have a new City Manager, Joseph Neeb, from Spearfish, South Dakota, population 10,500. There is an annual Council Retreat in April 7 and 8. He will fly in April 6. He has accepted the offer and the City is still working out the terms of the contract. I. ADJOURN The meeting adjourned at 6:54 p.m. Planning & Zoning Commission March 28, 2017 Minutes Page 9 of 9

The motion passed by a voice vote of seven to zero. F. ACTION ITEMS (PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS): 1. CASE 17-004 (ZOC): A Request for Zone Change from R-1 & R-2 to C-2 LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Subd: POCONO PLACE UNIT ONE Tract: A, LESS THAT PT DEEDED TO THE CITY OF ROSWELL FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY PER WD BK 675 PG 907 (1.813 AC) S: 25 T: 10S R: 23E BK: 331 PG: 721 SWD (the northernmost portion of the tract 15.25 acres abutting the City Boundary Line on the north and west and Sycamore Avenue on the east.) Attached: (A) Application; (B) Staff Summary; (C) Letter Notifying Surrounding Property Owners; (D) Chaves County Assessor’s Map Identifying Properties with the Notification Area; (E) List of Property Owners Notified Commissioner Armstrong recused himself from Case 17-004. Motion to Waive the Reading of the Land Use and Zoning Considerations and Finding of Facts with Respect to Case 17-004 by Commissioner Storey. Second by Commissioner Childress The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of 17-004? Larry Fresquez - Residing at 606 North Kentucky Avenue: Requested rezoning of approximately fifteen (15) acres adjacent to Gateway Church and School on North Sycamore. The fifteen (15) acres is currently owned by Featherstone Farms. Mr. Fresquez requested rezoning to C-2 to develop a self-storage facility as an accommodating business to the adjacent properties and the west side of Roswell. A multi-family complex with over 200 apartments is being developed on North Sycamore. This low traffic business would provide a buffer between the church and development to the south. Planning & Zoning Commission February 28, 2017 Minutes Page 2 of 6 Chair Brown: Is there anyone wishing to speak against 17-004? Rick Rapp – Residing at 2601 North Washington Avenue: Pastor and Superintendent of Gateway Christian School. Expressed concerns of rezoning the property to commercial. He did not have an issue with the storage units. His concern with the rezoning to commercial is that commercial zoning allows convenience and liquor stores. J.H. Rhea - Residing at 181 Mark Road: Speaking also on behalf of Gateway Church and School. Concerned if the property changed hands, other uses could be developed, some of which might not be advantageous to the church or school. Church has been in the area for nearly forty years. Our neighbor to the north is Christ Church that has been there nearly the same length of time. Residential zones on the north and south have made for a quiet neighborhood. Commercial zoning with undetermined use in the future has the potential to destroy the harmony of the neighborhood and integrity of church and school locations. Mr. Rhea respectfully requested denial of the request since the property owner also owns land south toward the apartments. Mr. Morris – Sycamore is an arterial road, a major road, and is intended to carry lots of traffic, especially in the future as it develops. The area is undergoing changes. This property is approximately half-way between the developing commercial node at College (Boulevard), where the fire station is, and Country Club (Road) which has ten acres zoned Commercial at the corner with Sycamore. This request is only for rezoning. There is another complete state and city process to request a liquor license. With respect to the intensity of commercial, most storage facilities are calm and would be a good transitional use. It is true we can’t guarantee what will happen after zoning. This area is designated Mixed Use on the future land use map. We are doing (master) planning on the other side of Sycamore in the area of the Old Municipal Airport. In the foreseeable future, (uses) will start to change. Overall, staff thinks (this rezoning) is compatible with the area, compatible with the future land use map the City adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan. We think that site planning will take care of issues such as lighting, noise, and other issue. Staff stands by the recommendation for approval. Chair Brown: Asked about the zoning for the church. Mr. Morris: The church is in the county, and is zoned equivalent to Rural Suburban. (Currently) there is no Right-of-Way to extend Nineteenth Street west of Sycamore. One of the conditions Staff will be looking for from the developer of this site is dedication of a sixty foot Right-of-Way to extend Nineteenth Street. Planning & Zoning Commission February 28, 2017 Minutes Page 3 of 6 Chair Brown: Asked if there a state law that there has to be so many feet from a church or a school for a liquor license. Mr. Najar: Answered, the state law is three-hundred (300) feet. Any time we review a liquor license in town, we have to provide to (City) Council and the State Liquor Board a map of nearest schools and churches within three-hundred (300) feet property to property of the applicant for the liquor license. Mr. Rhea: We are aware of the three-hundred feet, and that would be closer to our school and church than we would desire. Mr. Frequez: Stated he wouldn’t buy this property if unable to build self-storage units. Developing storage units (with his plan) would leave about eighty feet that could possibly be developed on the south end of this lot’s fifteen acres. The rest of the eighty to one-hundred acre tract owned by Featherstone Farms is not up for rezoning at this time. Mr. Fresquez stated he has no desire to build a liquor establishment. The Master Plan, paid for by the City of Roswell, shows this area here in pink (on the map) as a multi-use area. (The storage unit development) would serve as a buffer between churches with large parking lots and large lighting areas and a residential neighborhood. Commissioner Taylor: Had a question for Staff and recommended a compromise to rezone the property C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial). Ms. Hildreth: To clarify, storage units are allowed in C-1 with a Special Use Permit and in C-2 as a Use by Right. C-1 allows automobile service stations with a Special Use Permit. Drug stores and food stores are allowed as a Use by Right in C-1. Mr. Morris: C-1 is for limited neighborhood type uses. Alcohol sales is a separate process. Alcohol sales can happen in C-1, C-2, C-3, and C-4. With respect to future planning efforts and road classification, this area is intended to be more active. Commissioner Storey: Posed a question about the (60) foot right-of-way. Mr. Najar: To answer Commissioner Storey’s question about the sixty (60) foot right-of-way, it would be an extension of Nineteenth Street, and that section of roadway would not be developed until development requires access from that section of Nineteenth Street. Mr. Najar stated that he respects the Churches that built in what was at that time the outskirts. Looking at the big picture, the City is expecting growth, wanting growth, and planning for growth in this area. The City has already extended the water and sewer lines from College to their property. Right before their property, the City already extended stub outs to the west for future development of water and sewer. As a Minor Arterial from Second Street to Planning & Zoning Commission February 28, 2017 Minutes Page 4 of 6 Country Club Road, Single Family curb cuts can no longer be built along Sycamore which means development must be Commercial or R-3 or R-4 high density residential. Hopefully, Country Club will become a four-lane road from Sycamore to Main Street, and all that will be mixed use. Commissioner Storey: Mentioned that commercial development (on the fifteen acre tract) would have to build a six-foot tall screen fence on the north side of the property, between the commercial development and the church, on the south side of the right-of-way (Nineteenth Street Extension). Mr. Najar: Mr. Najar varified that the fence would have to be built on the commercial development’s property. Chair Brown: Appeals to what we vote on tonight are due in writing to the City Clerk by noon on Thursday. MOTION – 17-004 ZOC Commissioner Gross made a motion to approve Case 17-004 based on the testimony given here this evening and the finding of facts. Second by Commissioner Childress. The motion passed by a voice vote of six to zero. (Commissioner Armstrong did not vote on this motion having previously recused himself.) G. OTHER BUSINESS: 1. Text Amendment: Multi Generational Housing Mr. Morris: There are two discussion items on issues we talked about before that we are lining up for text amendments. The first one is multi-generational housing for independent living for a relative(s). The difference is the stove in the kitchen makes it a residential unit. We are looking at units four-hundred (400) square feet in size that are built to standards of the International (Building) Code and the Zoning Code. State Statutes require provision for these types of units. We are talking about a small house on the same lot (with a primary residence) to allow for independent living for members of the same family. The question is what happens to the fully functional unit in the back yard when the relative is no longer residing on the property. The County handles it by initial approval through the Commission, then the applicant must visit the County every three (3) years for Staff administrative review, determination if the use is still needed, and approval by Staff if the use is still needed. In our text, we put in review every five (5) years demonstrating compliance. We need a review process to prevent these units from becoming multi-family lots when a property is sold. Planning & Zoning Commission February 28, 2017 Minutes Page 5 of 6 2. Text Amendment: Lighting Standards Mr. Morris: LED parking lot lighting is incredibly bright. We’ve had situations where parking lot lighting that was angled for more coverage by standard lighting have been replaced with LED fixtures. LED lighting is measured in Kelvins. AMA medical studies are being done on the luminosity of LEDs. The blue range is very intense, is analogous to daylight, and can reset sleep patterns and impact wildlife. The heads of these lamps need to be angled at a 90 degree angle and the lamps must not exceed 4,000 K which keeps lighting in the white range. We need to regulate reasonable height of poles and prevent (light spill) onto residential properties. Commissioner Taylor: Mentioned that anything other than ninety degrees is in violation of the Night Skies Act. Commissioner Gross: Mentioned he has recent knowledge of LED and parking lot lighting and would like to participate in share what he has learned. 3. Updates: 1904 W Second Street Mr. Morris: This is a property that Game and Fish is leasing. The question posed to the City Attorney was if Game and Fish, a state agency, is required to have a City Business License. His answer at this time was “No.” The property owner would have to register his office, wherever that office is. H. PUBLIC COMMENTS I.

Intent of Petition: This request is for the following variances in order to convert an existing 768 square foot rear yard accessory structure into the primary single family dwelling unit on the lot: Side Yard from north property line variance of up to four feet. (The northern wall of the structure was constructed approximately eighteen (18) inches from what appears to be the northern property line. Primary residential structures are required to be placed a minimum of five feet (5’) from side yard property lines from the wall to the property line.) Rear Yard from west property line variance of eighteen feet (18’). (The west or rear wall of the structure was constructed approximately two to three feet (2’ to 3’) from what appears to be the western property line parallel to the alley. Rear Yard Setback Coverage. The rear yard of this fifty foot by one-hundred thirty foot (50’X130’) lot is one thousand (1,000) square feet in area. The City’s Zoning Ordinance allows up to forty percent (40%) coverage of the rear yard setback. The existing 768 square foot structure covers at most 456 square feet of the rear yard, or forty-six percent (46%). A variance to the percentage of rear yard coverage would make this a legal non- conforming use. The request for this variance would pertain to any future addition or porch on the south side of the structure of up to two hundred square feet in the rear yard setback for up to 656 square feet or sixty-six percent (66%) coverage. Height The height of this accessory structure is approximately fourteen feet (14’) at the peak. This structure was built before the Zoning Code was amended to provide additional setbacks for accessory structures over twelve feet (12’) in height. Planning & Zoning, 17-005 VAR Page 3 of 5 March 28, 2017 EXHIBIT B: STAFF SUMMARY FOR CASE 17-005 (VAR) 1806 N Kansas Avenue (Page 4 of 5) IV. Land Use and Zoning Considerations: 1. The lot was created with the Allison Redivision which was filed on August 7, 1940. 2. This lot is zoned R-2. 3. There is no record or memory of a house having been established on the property or demolished on the property within the past fifteen (15) years. 4. From a Google Earth Street View image recorded in March 2013, it appears the accessory structure is a one car garage with a possible living quarters as indicated by the structure’s front window and the mail box by the street. 5. The applicant started paying for water and sewer service in 2013. Water service to the property was established in 1970 when a yard meter was installed. 6. The applicant has applied for a building permit to remodel the structure into a residential dwelling and cannot proceed until the non-conforming use is made legal through variances. The plans as submitted show the conversion of the accessory structure into a two-bedroom, one bath, kitchen/living area structure. V. Findings of Fact (Conclusions of Law): 1. A notice of the time and place of the public hearing for this case was published in the Roswell Daily Record at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of this hearing. 2. Notification of the public hearing was mailed via certified mail with return receipt requested to property owners of record, as shown by the Chaves County Assessor, with lots or land within one-hundred (100) feet of the area under consideration, excluding public rights-of-way. 3. This agenda which includes this case has been posted at City Hall and on the City of Roswell’s website for over seventy-two (72) hours as required by State of New Mexico law for a public hearing. 4. The residential use is compatible with surrounding land uses and the 2016 Comprehensive Land Use Master Plan 5. As of the time of this writing, there have been zero (0) written and one (1) verbal protest received by the Planning & Zoning Office. The verbal protest was a concern that the unit is being rented.

Intent of Petition: City of Roswell Planning and Zoning Staff is requesting a zone change from R-3 to C-4 to create zoning conformity on both sides of the North Missouri Avenue between First Street and Second Street. Lots under consideration for a zone change are currently or in the past may have been used for professional office or commercial purposes. IV. Land Use and Zoning Considerations: 1. Three of the four lots under consideration are located directly across from First and Missouri Plaza, a small shopping center. The northernmost lot is currently being used as a parking lot for the commercial activity located on the southeast corner of Missouri Avenue and Second Street. . 2. The City of Roswell 2016 Comprehensive Master Plan map of the Preferred Land Use Scenario shows these lots designated for high density residential and appears to follow the pattern established by the Zoning Map. Rezoning to C-4 would make development on both sides of the street compatible. Since C-4 zoning and uses exist on the west side of the street, a commercial development pattern has been established for the entire block from Second Street to First Street. It would be reasonable to rezone the remainder of the block to C-4. V. Findings of Fact (Conclusions of Law): 1. A notice of the time and place of the public hearing for this case was published in the Roswell Daily Record at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of this hearing. 2. Notification of the public hearing was mailed via certified mail with return receipt requested to property owners of record, as shown by the Chaves County Assessor, with lots or land within one-hundred (100) feet of the area under consideration, excluding public rights-of-way. 3. This agenda which includes this case has been posted at City Hall and on the City of Roswell’s website for over seventy-two (72) hours as required by State of New Mexico law for a public hearing. 4. The rezoning request is compatible with surrounding land uses and existing land uses in the 100 Block of North Missouri Avenue. 5. As of the time of this writing, there have been zero (0) written and zero (0) verbal protests received by the Planning & Zoning Office.
