Proposal Summary: The request is to rezone a 40-acre parcel within city limits from Agriculture (AG) to Central Commercial (C1) with the intention to develop the area with mixed residential and commercial land uses. Page 1 Spearfish Planning Commission Staff Report Meeting Date: June 4, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. General Comments The proposed rezone is in alignment with land use and city form goals and strategies set forth within the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the East Colorado Boulevard Area Study. The preliminary site plan includes a mix of commercial and residential development with ample openspace and connectivity. The applicant has consulted with staff regarding the recommended zoning designation for this area. With the adjacent Sky Ridge development to the east, staff recommended a commercial zoning district that would allow for mixed residential and commercial development. The C1 district allows for both residential and commercial land uses and is slightly more restrictive than the highway service commercial district (C2). At the May 21, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the following topics were discussed: Formatted: Not Highlight Formatted: Not Highlight • C-1 land uses • Definition of office, retail type 1 and retail type 2 in ordinance Formatted: Not Highlight • Compatibility with adjoining residential uses to the east Staff and Planning Commission agreed that potential land uses proposed by the applicant, including small medical offices and plant nurseries, are permissible within this zoning district based on current ordiance. Rezone Procedure and Criteria A rezone is considered an ordinance amendment. The procedure and criteria are guided by the City of Spearfish Revised Code of Ordinances, Appendix A- Zoning, Article VI. Administration and Enforcement, Section 5. Amendments. A proposed amendment shall be considered on its own merits using the following criteria as a guide. Proposed amendments shall: 1. Be necessary because of substantially changed or changing conditions of the area and district affected, or in the ordinance generally. 2. Be consistent with the intent and purposes of the ordinance: 3. Not directly or indirectly adversely affect any other part of the ordinance. 4. Be consistent with and not in conflict with the Spearfish comprehensive plan. a. The proposed development aligns with the following Strategies for the Developing City set forth within the Comprehensive Plan: i. “The overall location and arrangement of land uses for new development should follow a basic hierarchy starting with the more intense land uses on the major streets, and the less intense uses on the minor/local streets.” ii. Encourage the adaptive re-use of existing structures and under-utilized lands to raise the visual quality and vitality in the community, reduce sprawl, and make efficient use of existing community infrastructure. Page 2 Spearfish Planning Commission Staff Report Meeting Date: June 4, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Public Comments: Notice of the public hearing was published in the newspaper and sent to owners via certified mail within 200 feet of the property boundary. One neighboring property owner called to inquire about the development generally and future construction of streets. Summary and Staff Recommendation: With the recent development in this area and investment in public infrastructure, the addition of commercial land uses, and high-density residential development proposed by the applicant and allowable within the C1 zoning district, is logical from a land use perspective. Based on staff’s review of the application, the rezone from Ag to C1 meets the criteria required by ordinance and provides added economic and social benefits to the area. Staff recommend approval of the request.
