City Council Meeting Minutes August 2, 2016 Page 9 of 15 3. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide land for a community - related use which was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the city's comprehensive plan, and such rezoning will be consistent with the policies and goals of the comprehensive plan; or There is no specific use proposed for the property at this time, but it would remain privately owned and be zoned commercial, so there is no indication that a desired community -related use would be developed. 4. The rezoning would only permit development which, if evaluated as a proposed annexation under the annexation standards and procedures codified in title 16, would qualify for annexation. A. The comprehensive development plan of the city will be considered in determining whether an annexation will be approved. The comprehensive plan calls for a mix of commercial and industrial uses in the area, so both the existing and proposed uses would be appropriate.

Zoning of the area to be annexed shall be reasonable in terms of existing city zoning classifications and shall be considered by the city planning commission. The proposed zoning, PZCD-I, is the same as the property immediately to the south, and most of the other properties in the Business Center at CTC, so could be considered reasonable. When the Business Center at CTC GDP was approved the CDDSG applied not only to the three properties zoned PCZD-C, but also to properties zoned PCZD-I adjacent to Hwy 42. The applicant requests the applicable design standards be changed from the CDDSG to the IDDSG, which may change the character of the overall development plan. Altering the applicable design standards for the property in question from the CDDSG to the IDDSG would create an inconsistent frontage along Hwy 42 and go against the goal of having the most prominent properties meet the higher design standards of the CDDSG. Therefore, if the GDP amendment is approved, staff recommends a condition requiring any development to still comply with the CDDSG. Staff recommends denial of Ordinance No. 1725, Series 2016, rezoning Lot 1, Block 3, Business Center at CTC and amending the Business Center at CTC General Development Plan. If approved, staff recommends the following condition:
