Agenda Item Text:
Docket RZ22-08 (Highway 83) The applicant requests a rezoning from RU-4 (Rural, one dwelling per four acres) to RU-2 (Rural, one dwelling per 2 acres).
Background:
The applicant is requesting to amend the zoning of their parcel from RU-4 to RU-2. The area is rural and consists of mostly vacant forest land. The applicant is requesting the amendment to split the parcel up into several smaller lots. The Applicant approached staff about submitting a minor land division on the property. The parcel was to be split east/west along SR83. Unfortunately, that would leave a non-conforming, approximately 2.8-acre parcel with four 4) acre minimum zoning. Ultimately, that Applicant decided to submit the request to rezone the property to RU-2. The applicant intends to split the 17 acres into up to 5 lots in the future. The Zoning would allow for up to 8 lots.
During review of the application it was noted that there are two (2) existing approximately 840 square foot homes on the east side of SR83 built around 1964. Even, with the two acre zoning this would be non-conforming. Staff reached out to discuss this further with the applicant and explained that the rezoning would deem the site as non-conforming. To bring the site into compliance the applicant proposes to reconstruct a larger, burnt down home, apply for an Accessory Living Quarters for one of the existing dwellings and convert the other existing dwelling into a storage building. After this is completed, the site will then be in compliance.
In the file, there is letter from the Forest Service in 2002 stating that the property has encroachment onto Forest Service property. The Forest Service and BLM(shown as the owner) were copied on the transmittal and provided no comments. Staff has conditioned that all new construction shall meet current Zoning Regulations.
