Arneson Actions Requested: The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Suburban Mixed-Use (SMU) District to Duplex Residential-6 (DR-6) District for property located east of and adjacent to 2417 Omro Road. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: The Zoning Ordinance does not establish criteria relative to appropriateness of changing zoning from one classification to another but relies on the Comprehensive Plan and good planning principles. Background Information,Property Location and Type: The subject area included in the zone change request consists of a 40-foot by 180-foot, 7,200 square foot parcel improved with only a driveway servicing a house at 2417 Omro Road. The surrounding area consists predominately of single-family uses to the north and west and light commercial uses to the east and south. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2040 has the subject parcel designated for interstate commercial use.

In 2018, several parcels along Omro Road attached to the City from the Town of Algoma as part of the Zone B Attachment (annexation) required by the intergovernmental agreement between the city and town. The city is now in the process of providing sewer and water service to these properties. The Department of Public Works is required to install sewer and water laterals to every property, developed or not. Knowing this vacant lot would not develop independently, the owner requested to combine the vacant parcel with the parcel containing to house to the west. This would negate the need for the lateral installation to the vacant parcel. During staff review to combine the parcels,it was discovered the properties have different zoning designations;the home has a Duplex Residential-6 (DR-6) zoning designation, while the vacant parcel has a Suburban Mixed-Use (SMU) zoning designation. The city prohibits the creation of multi-zoned parcels so one of the properties needs to be rezoned to match the other to approve the parcel combination. The current zonings carried over from when the city readopted its zoning ordinance in 2017 when they were zoned Two Family Residential Extraterritorial Zoning District (R-2ETZ) and General Commercial Extraterritorial Zoning District (C-2ETZ). In 2003, when the City and Town of Algoma entered into a boundary agreement which allowed the City to assign zonings to properties in designated expansion areas. The City was unaware the two properties were "linked" together by ownership/use when assigning the extraterritorial zoning designations. The petitioner is requesting a zone change from the existing Suburban Mixed-Use (SMU) District to Duplex Residential-6 (DR-6) to match the zoning of the house property. Staff is supportive of this request as it is a better fit to the current land use versus rezoning the house to a commercial-type district. Assigning a commercial zoning to the house could also cause difficulties finding lenders willing to provide financing to potential buyers for a nonconforming use. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2040 designated this area along Omro Road for interstate commercial. Although the proposed zone change is inconsistent with the land use recommendation, staff is of the opinion this area will remain residential for the near future. At some point staff does envision the residential parcels along Omro Road being assembled and redeveloped with a use consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the zone change from Suburban Mixed-Use (SMU) District to Duplex Residential-6 (DR-6) District as requested.
