2 <br />The subject site is about 74 acres. The property is currently designated on the Metro Plan map (the City’s long- <br />range land use blueprint map) for Parks and Open Space uses and is currently split zoned; for R-1 Low Density <br />Residential uses (southern portion of site) and PL Public land uses (northern cemetery portion of site. The <br />current owners seek to change the Metro Plan map designation and the zoning of the subject property so that the <br />entire property is designated on the Metro Plan as Low Density Residential and the entire property has a <br />matching zoning of R-1 Low Density Residential. <br /> <br />To give you an idea of what a Metro Plan designation of Low Density Residential and R-1 Low Density <br />Residential can look like, the proposed designation and zoning would match that of the surrounding <br />neighborhood; which is developed with single-family, some multi-family, a church, etc. Low Density <br />Residential is typically developed with single-family housing and duplexes. Other uses that we see in Low <br />Density Residential areas area non-residential uses such as religious institutions, cemeteries, parks, and <br />neighborhood scale commercial and sometimes, apartments or townhomes (for instance, the property owner has <br />had an application pending in the Planning Office since 2001 to do apartments on site). New housing in the <br />south hills, west of Willamette street, typically has to be no more than 5 homes per acre, unless otherwise <br />accepted (elsewhere in the city, the maximum allowed housing in Low Density Residential is up to 10 homes <br />per acre). <br /> <br />At this time, there is no development plan proposed. The proposed re-designation and rezoning is an earlier step <br />in the process than submitting a development plan. However, the applicant’s written materials indicate they <br />would like to enable residential uses for the portion of the site not in or platted for cemetery use. <br /> <br />I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. <br /> <br />Thank you for letting me know about our sign as well. <br /> <br />Best, <br />Heather <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />From: Nicole Smith Dahmen [mailto:nicole.dahmen@gmail.com<mailto:nicole.dahmen@gmail.com>] <br />Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 9:58 AM <br />To: O'DONNELL Heather M <br />Cc: William Dahmen <br />Subject: Question on development plan <br /> <br />Good morning, Heather. <br /> <br />My husband and I are residents of the Brookside Drive area. We have seen your signs and we have some <br />questions. The map is impossible to read because it is so blurry. Can you please explain to us in detail the <br />proposed zone change? We would like to know exactly where it will be and what is being proposed to be built <br />(low density housing doesn't give us sufficient detail). <br /> <br />Thanks so much. <br /> <br />William and Nicole Dahmen <br />
