ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Subdivision Case No. 2017-0738F. A request by Riedel Holdings LLC, property owner, for the final plat approval for Santa Cecilia No. 2 Subdivision. The property is located at the northwest corner of County 24th Street and 20th Avenue, Assessor's Parcel No. 227-10-012, San Luis, Arizona. (Jose A. Guzman, Acting Director of Planning and Zoning)
SUMMARY:
The subject property is located on the east mesa of the City of San Luis; west side of 20th Avenue between Aracely Street and County 24th Street. The properties to the north and west are zoned Medium Density Residential (R1-6) and two new subdivisions are under construction, Bienestar 9A Phase 2 to the north and Santa Cecilia No. 1 Subdivision to the west. The south and east properties adjacent to the project are undeveloped land and zoned as Medium-High Density Residential (R-2).
ANALYSIS:
As an effort to alleviate the demand for bigger houses the City Council approved Ordinance No. 347, an ordinance to set up the minimum lot size to 6,000 square feet. After this ordinance was adopted single detached dwellings are no longer allowed in Medium-High Density Residential (R-2) zoning district. This property was rezoned from Medium-High Density (R-2) to Medium Density Residential (R1-6) in order to allow the construction of the proposed subdivision (Rezoning Case No. 2017-0546).
The proposed subdivision consists of approximately 33 acres to be divided into 168 lots and 1 tract for a retention basin. The lots will range in size from 6,000 square feet to 10,369 square feet.
In 2007, the Arizona Legislature adopted legislation that required municipalities to certify that all new subdivisions had an assured 100-year water supply. On February 11, 2011, the City of San Luis was designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) as having a 100-year adequate water supply. Consequently, individual subdivisions do not have to submit additional certification.
GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as Neighborhood in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The activities proposed will be consistent with that designation (Chapter 2, Page 19-20). The Neighborhood Land Use designation allows all types of residential development.
REVIEW:
As part of the review process, all land use cases are reviewed by various city and outside agencies. We have received comments from the following agencies:
