F.
Adopt the City Council action taken at their November 12,2003 meeting as follows:
I.
The zoning is approved as R-4 and not the requested R-8.
2.
The applicant is to submit a revised Landscape Plan and Preliminary Plat to the
Planning and Zoning Department for their approval.
14.
It is found that the requested zoning designation, R-8, is harmonious with and in
accordance with the effective Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Lane Use Map. The parcel is
designated for Medium Density Residential (3 to 8 dwelling units per acre). The project has a gross
density of 2.97 dwelling units per acre and a net density of 3.62 dwelling units per acre. The
cornmon open space for the project is 0.97 acres (5.5% of the plat area). There are proposed changes
to the landscaping and open space, and therefore, the applicant will need to submit a new
Landscaping Plan and Preliminary Plat. However, the zoning is approved for an R-4 re-zone.
15.
The applicant has not indicated that they intend to rezone the subject property in the
future.
16.
It is found that the proposed subdivision of single-family detached homes will be
allowed within the requested R-8 zone, but the zoning will be R-4 and will also be allowed in this
zoning designation.
17.
The area in the vicinity of Locust Grove Road and Victory Road has undergone a
significant level of development recently. Tuscany Village Subdivision has recently been approved
south of Victory Road, and Sageland and Soda Springs Subdivisions are currently proposed on the
east side of the subject property along Victory Road. Sageland and Soda Springs have both
requested R-8 zoning designations.

AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

PAGE 7 OF 17
18.
It is found that the proposed use (single family residential) is designed appropriately
to match with the existing and intended character of the general vicinity. Any change in the existing
character of the area is in harmony with the intended future land use envisioned by the
Comprehensive Plan.
19.
It is not anticipated that the proposed residential and office uses will be hazardous or
disturbing to future or existing neighbors, however, it is deemed that R-4 zoning would be more
compatible with the neighboring Meridian Greens and Observation Pointe Subdivisions, as long as
the recommended conditions of approval are complied with.
20.
It is found that the property to be annexed will be served adequately by all essential
public facilities and serviGes. An existing sewer trunk line runs through the subject property.
Sanitary sewer and water shall be provided via existing and new main line extensions. Applicant
shall be required to pay for the extension of water and sanitary sewer mains to and through the
proposed development. Public road access to the proposed subdivision is available off of Victory
Road and Loggers Pass Street (a stub provided by Observation Point Subdivision). All internal
streets will be constructed by the developer of the proposed subdivision.
21.
It is found that there will not be excessive additional requirements at public cost and
that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
22.
It is found that the proposed subdivision will not create excessive traffic, noise, or
other nuisances that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area. The fact is
also recognized that the traffic and noise will increase with the approval of this subdivision;
however, it is not felt that the amount generated will be detrimental to the public welfare of the City.

23.
It is found that the subdivision's vehicular approaches off of Victory Road will create
new traffic on surrounding roads. However, it is not believed that the subdivision entrances will
cause significant interference on the surrounding public streets. Review of ACHD's report
concerning the vehicular approaches and traffic generation will reveal their comments on these
issues.
24.
It is found that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or
damaged by approval of this annexation and re-zone request. Any existing trees larger than 4"
caliper that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the Landscape Ordinance.
25.
It is found that the annexation of this property would be in the best interest of the
City.
26.
It is found that if the developer pays for the requested improvements
and complies with the conditions set forth in these Findings of Fact No. 13, and all sub-parts, the
economic welfare of the City and its residents and tax and rate payers will be protected, a
condition of annexation and zoning designation.
27.
It is also found that the development considerations as referenced in Finding No.
13 are reasonable to require and must be taken into account, in order to assure the proposed
development is designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner which is harmonious
and appropriate in appearance with the existing, or intended character of the general vicinity, in
order to assure that the proposed use will not change the essential character of the affected
vicinity and will insure that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing,
or future neighboring uses, particularly considering the impact of proposed development on

nonresidential uses. The R-4 District allows for a maximum of four (4) dwelling units per
acre and requires connection to the Municipal water and sewer systems of the City.
