Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: In July of 2015, the City Council passed an ordinance where rezones to the RM zone were prohibited. Prior to this time, there were no restrictions on zone changes to the RM zone other than the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. In November of 2015, the City Council amended the ordinance to allow rezone applications to the RM zone under certain conditions. Those conditions are:  For properties without existing Structures which are proposed to be developed, the property must be a minimum of two acres and the Density must not exceed twelve units per acre. For properties with existing Structures proposed to be redeveloped, there is no minimum acreage requirement, but the Density must not exceed twenty units per acre;  The property shall either i) have access and Frontage on a Street with a planned Right-of-way width of at least 80’ (for properties under two acres) or 100’ (for properties two acres or larger) as indicated on the Major Street Plan; or ii) be adjacent to existing multifamily residential Development on two sides; and  A Development Agreement must be proposed with the zone change application that addresses Dwelling Unit sizes, exterior materials, architecture, Landscaping, and project Amenities. The applicant proposes to change the first and second conditions.
