ZMA Questions:

Use Map has the parcel outlined as Urban Neighborhood use which correlates w/ Zoning
requested R-4.
b. Will the new zoning secure safety from fire and other dangers? How? The parcel will maintain
safety from fire and other dangers. Each parcel currently has a single-household residence on
it and the parcels are fronted by W Kagy Blvd for easy emergency services and access to be
provided. The new zoning will follow all regulated requirements to ensure the parcel maintains
safety from fire and other dangers.
c. Will the new zoning promote public health, safety and welfare? How? Yes. The purpose of the
zoning regulations is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare by: preventing
creation of private or public nuisances caused by noncompliance with the standards and
procedures. The development will comply with all zoning standards.
d. Will the new zoning facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewage,
schools, parks and other public requirements? How? The surrounding infrastructure
has already been extended to the property. Annexation is the last step required for
1705 W Kagy to comply with city transportation, water, and sewage connections. The
property is currently providing a school. Parkland is not required at this time for this
parcel.
e. Will the new zoning provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air? How? Yes. The
current structures are not obtrusive on any adjacent parcels. The purpose of the zoning
standards is to ensuring light and air is provided in new development. New development will
be following all zoning standards to safeguard all adjacent landowners to appropriate light
and air.

Yes. The parcel is near other multi-household residential developments which supports the
growing needs of housing near the University.

The proposed zoning complements the adjacent uses in the area and provides the most
appropriate use to conserve the values of buildings.

jurisdictional area? The new zoning will create the highest and best use of the property. The
