two items not on consent today we will go ahead and hear a presentation cassidy come on down thank you vice chair members of the board um the two cases before you today are kcon 21-0 one two one two um that is for the rezone and then kcon 22-000 for the minor general plant amendment so the request is to re-zone the subject site from general industrial to a.g i'm sorry from general industrial and agricultural to rs7 with a planned area development overlay and then a minor general plan amendment from neighborhood village and employment to neighborhood this request will allow for development of a single residence subdivision the site is located north of thomas road and north of the 202 freeway on the east side of el vista drive here you can see an existing photo of the site it is being currently used for a horse boarding and stable facility so the current general plan designation on the property is neighborhood village and employment the intent behind the neighborhood village character area is to provide a gathering place for residents and then employment is for high quality employment type land uses rs single residents is not an identified land use in either the neighborhood village or employment character area so subsequently the applicant is requesting to modify the general plan designation to neighborhood the intent behind the neighborhood character area designation is to provide for safe places for people to live and enjoy their surrounding community you can see an existing map of the zoning the west side of the site is currently zoned general industrial and then the east side of the site is agricultural the proposed zoning will be single residents with a planned area development overlay and single residence is a permitted use in that zoning district here you can see a conceptual site plan for the the future single residents per the zoning ordinance a single resident subdivisions do not require a site plan review so they'll be coming back with a preliminary pla at a future date for the final configuration of this neighborhood as a part of the subject request the applicant is providing design guidelines these are the same design guidelines that the site south of thomas road on the east and west sides of val vista has so it it will be a part of the pioneer crossing design guidelines those design guidelines include criteria on the landscape character the residential architecture open space standards signage and wall designs the applicant did conduct a citizen participation process which included neighbors within one thousand feet hoas and registered neighborhoods within a mile they had one neighborhood meeting held in october of 2021 the applicant has received additional responses regarding the subject request and staff has received one response with a resident concerned about the increase in single residence and the impact on the water usage within the valley in summary we find that the proposed general plan amendment is consistent with the intent of the 2040 mesa general plan and the rezone um is con is consistent with that future uh neighborhood character area designation as well as the criteria for a planned area development outlined in chapter 2 of the chapter 22 of the zoning ordinance and staff is recommending adoption of the minor general plan amendment and approval with conditions of the rezone thank you cassidy board members any questions questions for the applicant okay i will entertain a motion can i can i go ahead and jump in here um can you guys hear me okay yes
