EC 9.8865(2): The proposed zone change is consistent with applicable adopted <br />refinement plans. In the event of inconsistencies between these plans and the Metro <br />Plan, the Metro Plan controls. <br />The subject property is located within the boundaries of the River Road - Santa Clara Urban <br />Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) refinement plan area. The RR/SC UFP designates the subject <br />property as Low-Density Residential, consistent with the applicant's requested R-1 zoning. The <br />subject property is not located within a specific subarea of the RR/SC UFP. With regard to the <br />general residential land use policies beginning on page 2-14 of the RR/SC UFP, none appear to <br />read as mandatory approval criteria for the subject request. Staff notes the following policy as <br />possibly relevant: <br />1.0 Recognize and maintain the predominately low-density residential character of the <br />area consistent with the Metro Plan. <br />The requested R-1 zone is consistent with the low-density residential character and Metro Plan <br />designation of the surrounding area. There are no other policies within the RR/SC UFP that <br />appear to be relevant or constitute mandatory approval criteria. Based on these findings, the <br />zone change is consistent with the applicable refinement plan. <br />EC 9.8865(3): The uses and density that will be allowed by the proposed zoning in the <br />location of the proposed change can be served through the orderly extension of key <br />urban facilities and services. <br />Key urban facilities and services are defined in the Metro Plan as: wastewater service, <br />stormwater service, transportation, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police <br />protection, City-wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, <br />communication facilities, and public schools on a district-wide basis (see Metro Plan page V-3). <br />Wastewater <br />There is an existing 10-inch diameter public wastewater line in Scenic Drive. The existing <br />dwelling is currently connected to that line. <br />Stormwater <br />Public stormwater is not available because there is no piped public stormwater system in Scenic <br />Drive. However, soils are shown to be Type B indicating good permeability for some type of on- <br />site retention. At the time of future development, applicants will be required to address all <br />applicable stormwater management standards including flood control, water quality, oil <br />control, easements, and operation and maintenance. <br />Streets <br />The site has frontage along Scenic Drive and is across from the intersection of Spring Creek <br />Drive and Scenic Drive.
