ORDINANCE NO. 1725, SERIES 2016 — AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUSINESS CENTER AT CTC GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (GDP) TO REZONE LOT 1, BLOCK 3, BUSINESS CENTER AT CTC FROM PCZD-C TO PCZD-I — 2nd Reading — Public Hearing Mayor Muckle requested a City Attorney introduction. City Attorney Light introduced Ordinance No. 1725, Series 2016. Mayor Muckle opened the public hearing and called for a staff presentation. Scott Robinson, Planner II, noted this is a request for rezoning of property in the Business Center at CTC. The property is Located in CTC Property zoned PCZD-C Requesting to rezone to PCZD-I Governed by Business Center at CTC General Development Plan (GDP) Property to the south rezoned to PCZD-I last year CDDSG currently applies Applicant requests IDDSG to apply if approved Rezonings must meet one of the four following criteria to be approved, per section 17.44.050 of the LMC: 1. The land to be rezoned was zoned in error and as presently zoned is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the city's comprehensive plan; Based on the history there is no indication the property was zoned in error. 2. The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage a redevelopment of the area; The CTC has seen significant development in the last few years, with many new buildings and tenants and the number of vacant lots decreasing. The area has changed by building out at a density too low to support commercial uses, and rezoning to industrial would encourage development of the parcel. An alternative view is that, given the current and planned new development in the CTC, it may be prudent to wait longer for commercial demand to increase. The change in the area is the buildout of the properties in conformance with the adopted plans and zoning, which is not a change to such a degree that rezoning is warranted.
