Rezoning Petition: 2025-105 by Zealous Empowering Nurturer

Summary

This petition (2025-105) by Zealous Empowering Nurturer proposes to rezone approximately 1.18 acres located east of Prosperity Church Road, north of White Cascade Drive, and south of Katelyn Drive.

The current zoning is R-8MF(CD) (Multi-Family Residential, Conditional), a legacy district from the 1990s (RZP 1994-059) that was conditionally approved for only a daycare use. The proposed zoning is N1-A (Neighborhood 1-A), which is a lower-intensity, single-family zoning district.

This change is consistent with the 2040 Policy Map (2022), which recommends the "Neighborhood 1 Place type" for this site. The N1-A district primarily allows single-family detached homes, but also permits duplexes, triplexes, civic uses, and recreation/agricultural uses.

Both the Zoning Committee (voting 6-0 on December 2, 2025) and Planning Staff recommend approval. The proposed zoning is projected to reduce potential vehicle trips from 578 trips per day (under the previous daycare entitlement) to 30 trips per day (based on 3 single-family dwellings). This rezoning also facilitates 2040 Comprehensive Plan Goal 2: Neighborhood Diversity & Inclusion.

Citizen Impact

This rezoning will change the potential development on the 1.18-acre site from a higher-intensity, conditional multi-family use (specifically a daycare) to a lower-intensity residential use, primarily single-family homes. This change is expected to result in significantly less vehicle traffic in the area compared to the previous zoning's potential.
