Public hearing on the request of Pinnacle Homes for recommendation to the City Council for rezoning of property in Section 18, located on the south side of Twelve Mile Road, east of Napier Road, from the RA, Residential Acreage District and R-1, One-Family Residential District, to the R-4, One-Family Residential District. The subject property is 64.0 acres.

In the matter of the request of Pinnacle Homes for Zoning Map Amendment 18.702, motion to recommend approval to the City Council to rezone the subject property from RA, Residential Acreage District and R-1, One-Family Residential District to R-4, One-Family Residential District, for the following reasons:

  1. The requested zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map in the 2010 Master Plan for Land Use as well as the recommended residential density shown in the Residential Density Map;
  2. The subject property was evaluated in detail as part of the "Twelve Mile, Napier, and Wixom Roads Study Area" in the 2008 Master Plan for Land Use Review, which recommended a Future Land Use designation and residential density for the subject parcel consistent with the requested zoning;
  3. The requested zoning is consistent with the zoning recommended for the subject parcel by the Planning Commission in November 2007 when the subject parcel and four others were collectively considered for rezoning; and
  4. Twelve Mile Road is largely residential in character in this area and residential zoning is appropriate for this location. Motion carried 5-0.
