If this alternative is selected, a conflict between the zoning and the proposed Comprehensive Plan would be created. In order to resolve this conflict a new land use designation would need to be assigned to Marsh Island. The LD -2 (6 unit/acre) classification would accommodate a zoning of 4 units/acre as requested for the subject property. B) Deny the rezoning request, leaving the property zoned C-1, Commercial. Commercial development of Marsh Island is not an appropriate land use and [nay create a similar or greater problems than would a multi -family development at 4 units/acre. If this alternative is selected, and the proposed Comprehensive Plan is adopted, a rezoning action will be necessary in order for the zoning to be consistent oiith the new land use designation. RECOMMENDATION Development of an area such as riarsh Island should be at as low of a density as feasible. Due to the clustering effect of multi -family development, in many cases there is less impact and disturbance of land than would occur in similar density, single family developments. The site plan approval process also applies to multi- family developments where single family homes are exempt. Additional review and study of this amended request for rezoning has led to staff's concurrence to recom- mend approval of the rezoning of Marsh Island to R -2A, Multi -Family Residential. The Planning and Zoning Commission by a 3 to 2 vote approved this recommendation in the public hearing of October 22, 1981. Commissioner Fletcher wished to know what was meant under Alternative A by "proper mitigation measures." Mr. Rever stated that he has discussed this with the engineers and Health Department and believes that going through the proper permitting would take care of any problems. Commissioner Fletcher asked if, as a Planner, Mr. Rever felt comfortable in setting density first and working out services and resources later. Mr. Rever stated that is not the best of all possible worlds, but we are dealing with a commercial entity, which would have to rely on these services and obviously would want them right. He felt it would be a far better situation than leaving the property C-1. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that the R -2A zoning would allow 109 units rather than 190, which apparently is a typographical error. Doyle Rogers, Trustee, and applicant, confirmed that the number of units would be 109 and informed the Board that DEC 16 198 1 49 MOK 48 mv-365
