Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Rezoning request to change the zoning designation of the property at 1936 Provider Boulevard from General Commercial District to Medium Density Residential District. A Lot Line Adjustment Plat was recently approved reducing the lot size from 1.15 acres to 1.08 acres. The applicant has indicated that the Rezoning request is needed in order to construct two 15-unit apartment buildings on the property. The property is located within the Johnson Ranch Subdivision, south of Saint Patrick Street, west of S.D. Highway 44 and north of Elk Vale Road. More specifically, the property is located approximately 250 feet south of the intersection of Saint Patrick Street and Provider Boulevard, on the east side of Provider Boulevard. Saint Patrick Street, S.D. Highway 44 and Elk Vale Road are classified as Principal Arterial Streets as per the City’s adopted Major Street Plan and serve as entrance corridors to our city. In addition, Provider Boulevard is identified as a commercial street and has been constructed to accommodate commercial traffic with no on-street parking. The City’s Future Land Use Plan identifies the appropriate use of this property and other properties at the entrance to Johnson Ranch Subdivision along Saint Patrick Street and S.D. Highway 44 as Mixed Use Commercial. Mixed Use Commercial is intended to provide a range of services to meet the daily needs of the surrounding residential neighborhood. Additionally, these properties are generally located along major gateways and commercial and arterial streets. Maintaining a commercial component within Johnson Ranch Subdivision will ensure services to the residents of this neighborhood as well as provide workforce opportunities and improve the quality of living for residents, while maintaining the character of the neighborhood. The Johnson Ranch Master Plan shows that this lot is intended for commercial development. Additionally, the master plan identifies a single family residential development with a school, which have since been built. In 2021, a Final Planned Development was approved to allow the property directly south of the subject property to be developed with a 150-unit apartment complex. This created a diversity of housing options within the Johnson Ranch Subdivision while maintaining the commercial land uses at the entrance to the development and along the Principle Arterial Streets. In order to maintain the goals of the adopted Future Land Use Plan and the original Johnson Ranch Master Plan, staff cannot support the proposed rezoning request.
