GP-89-6 AND ZONE RECLASSIFICATION APPLICATION NO. ZR-89-9 OF TOM SUMMERS (C/O DILLON ENGINEERING) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- The applicant is proposing a General Plan Map Amendment to change 17 acres from Agriculture to Rural Residential and a Zone Reclassification to change 17 acres from AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre lot minimum) to RR-65 (Rural Residential 65,000 square feet lot minimum). The Planning staff has expanded the study area to include 55.62 acres on the west side of Alpine Road and the 3.00-acre home- site parcel owned by Vern Hansen. The reason for the expansion is that this area has already developed in a rural residential pattern and it creates a reasonably sized Rural Residential area should the Planning Commission determine that an RR designation is appropriate for the area. GP-89-6 and ZR-89-9 are ten- tatively scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on June 1 , 1989. The Planning Division will recommend that the Planning Commission recommend denial of GP-89-6 and ZR-89-9 based on the following: Prior to approving an application for a General Plan Amendment, the Planning Commission must determine that the internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the amendment. The proposal is inconsistent with Rural Residential Principles within the Land Use/Circulation Element of the General Plan. In particular, Rural Resideritial Principle No. 3 states that, "Future rural residential development will take place only within the designated areas . . . " Rural Residential Principle No. 1 further restricts rural residen- tial development by stating that, "Rural residential areas should be kept to a minimum in number and extent." In the event that the Planning Commission does not recommend approval for the General Plan, it follows that the bases for approval of the Zone Reclassifica- tion could also not be made.
