Zone Change (ZC 1-26)

Application for a Zone Change from County EF-80 zoning to City R-4 zoning for the remaining easterly portion Tax Lot R4409CD 00100 which hasn’t been annexed into City limits, approximately 3.17 acres including abutting right-of-way.  The vacant property hasn’t been assigned a street address.  It is located on the west side of NE McDonald Ln., generally between Chegwyn Farms Neighborhood Park and Grandhaven Elementary School.

The subject property is an unincorporated island surrounded by City limits on all sides, within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) but outside City limits.  The subject property is currently subject to County EF-80 zoning.  The applicant has previously applied for annexation, ANX 1-25.  An annexation agreement was authorized by City Council and approved by the City Manager.  Final annexation approval is subject to completion of the land use decision for the zone change.  The zone change would become effective upon annexation of the subject property into the City. 

Note:  This is an application for a zone change only.  The application materials submitted for the zone change also included a development plan for the property.  No decision regarding the development plan will be made as part of the zone change application.  An application for development of apartments would require a landscape plan application and a building permit application.  The annexation agreement for ANX 1-25 adopted by Resolution 2025-51 includes conditions relating to both the zone change and the development.
