The uses and density that will be allowed by the proposed zoning in the locatkm o£the proposed change can be served through the orderly extension of key urban fhcilities and services. The proposed zone change is consistent with the applicable siting requirements set out fbr the specific zone in...: In cases Where the -NR zone is applied based on EC 9.2510(3), the property owner shall enter into a contractual agreement with the city to ensure the area is maintained as a natural resource area for a minhnum of 50 years. The proposed change is consistent with applicable provisions of the Mg~ro~ Plan. The written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the Metro Plan diagram where apparent confficts or inconsistencies exist. The proposed zone change is consistent with both the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram and text as described below: Me~o~.Plan Land Use Diagram and Related Text The Metro Plan Diagram designates the sYbject parcels fbr low and medium densky residential, al, and parks and open space. The establishment of the ND Nodal Development Designation on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram will l~ot change those designations. EC 9,4290(1)(a)~/ND Overlay Zone~ requires a minimum density of 15 units per net acre for the R~2 zone, 25 units per net acre for R=3~ and 30 units per net acre for R~4. These mkfirntkm density requirements are consistent -with the Medium Density Residential designation in the Metro Plan which specifies a density range of 10-20 units per ~ acre, and the High Density Residential designation which specifies a densky range of over 20 units per gross acre. Metro Plan Policies The following Metro Plan policies are applicable to the proposed zone change: Metro Plan Element A~ Policy A, 11 specifically states: Generally locate higher densiO; residential development near employment or commercial services, in proximity to major transportation 3~stems or within transportation-efficient nodes (Ch. ~J~-A, as amended ~ 999). The proposed zone change fhcilka, tes the above policy by altow4ng an increased level of residential densky and use on property that is directly adjacent to existing commercial services. re~ the relatively close proximity' of the subject properties to ~ver Road also facilitates the above policy by locating higher density development proximate to a major tr~spOrtation System. As such, the subject proposal complies with Metro Plan Element A, Policy' A. 11. Exhibit C - 10
