1 Planning Commission Application Summary Project Name: Galena Park Place Zone Change Address: 538 W. Fox Chase Dr. Current Zoning: CC Hearing Date: April 28, 2016 Background This rezone fixes a zoning discrepancy that resulted from the 2014 land swap between Rocky Mountain Power and DR Horton. In 2013 DR Horton rezoned approximately ten acres from CC to RM1, as shown on Exhibit A of the staff report. In 2014 there was a land swap between the applicant and Rocky Mountain Power, which has a power substation near South. The land swap resulted in a reconfigured project boundary that took in 0.36 acre of ground that was not part of the original rezone from CC to RM1. Exhibit B of the staff report shows the reconfigured project boundary that includes the small section of CC. The application at hand fixes this oversight. General Plan and Zoning In 2013 the City Council changed the land use designation for Galena Park Place from Neighborhood Commercial to Residential Medium-High Density, and the zoning from CC to RM1. The 0.36 acre in question has retained the original land use and zoning designations. Analysis The area in question contains three newly-constructed townhome units. While it is necessary to change the hard zoning designation to RM1 to bring these units into conformity with the zone, the land use plan was essentially changed with plat approval and construction of the units. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation on to the City Council.
