3. STAFF ANALYSIS: 3. 1. Section 2. 01. 05 of the City' s Land Development Code outlines the criteria to be used in determination of the appropriate zoning district: 3. 1. 1. Whether the requested zoning district is consistent with the future land use category according to Table 2. 01. 05. According to Table 2. 01. 05 of the City' s Land Development Code, Community Facilities is an allowable zoning district within the Civic, Institutional, and Utility (CIU)future land use category. 3. 1. 2. Whether the uses within the requested zoning district are compatible with the uses in adjacent zoning districts. Compatibility is determined by considering scale of use; intensity of use as determined by floor area ratio and impervious surface coverage; hours of operation; impacts from noise in parking lots or structures; noise from outdoor gathering places; noise from outdoor speakers; noise from processes such as from body shops, equipment shops, and industrial activities; lighting from parking lots or structures and vehicles; and security lighting. Compatibility shall consider the range of allowable uses on parcels adjacent to the proposed rezoning parcel and the typical impacts from those uses. The requested zoning district, Community Facilities, allows civic, cultural, government operations, utility, academic schools, and park uses. This zoning category allows similar types of uses as the existing zoning district, Recreation. The surrounding zoning districts allow primarily single family uses, and light industrial uses. The use, intensity, impervious surface coverage, hours, noise, and lighting of the proposed zoning district will be similar to the current zoning district and will not adversely impact the surrounding properties in adjacent zoning districts. The proposed zoning district does not permit uses that will generate excess noise from parking lots, outdoor gathering places, body shops, or industrial activities. The proposed zoning will permit lighting in accordance with lighting standards in the Land Development Code. 3. 1. 3. Whether the requested use is substantially more intense or less intense than allowable development on adjacent parcels. The range of uses permissible according to the land use category and zoning district on the adjacent parcels is the basis for determination. The requested use is for a cultural center/ museum similar in nature to the existing use of an indoor/ outdoor recreation center. The requested use is approximately the same intensity as the existing surrounding uses, which include single-family residential and light industrial. Packet' Pg 94  ORDINANCE 1908 3. 1. 4. Whether the requested use is based on soil types, topography, protection of natural resources, and protection of designated historic areas. The requested use represents the least amount of impact to the land and natural resources since the existing building will be utilized and no additional development is proposed. 4. STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT: 4. 1. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Future Land Use category according to Table 2. 01. 05. 4. 2. Staff fords that the uses within the requested zoning district are compatible with the uses in the adjacent zoning districts. 4. 3. Staff finds that the requested use is not substantially more intense or less intense than allowable development on adjacent parcels. 4. 4.
