25th Ave Subdivision

Project Summary

The applicant is requesting to amend the comprehensive plan designation and zoning from Urban Low Density Residential (UL) with single family residential (R 1-6) zoning and Highway 99 Single Family Residential Overlay to Urban Medium Density Residential (UM) with Residential (R-18) zoning and Highway 99 Mixed Residential Overlay on one parcel (145032000) that is 1.99 acres.

Background

The applicant owns one parcel (145032000) that is designated Urban Low Density Residential (UL) with R 1-6 zoning and is located at 8106 NE 25th Ave., Vancouver, WA. The site is located within the Vancouver Urban Growth boundary and the Single Family Residential Overlay of the Highway 99 Sub-Area Plan. When the Highway 99 overlay was approved, it was agreed that there would be no changes made to the underlying zoning at that time, but that consideration for zone changes could be made at a later date to allow sufficient time for consideration.

The subject parcel is currently zoned Urban Low Density Residential (UL) with single family residential (R 1-6) zoning, as are surrounding parcels to the west, east, and north. The applicant is requesting to amend the comprehensive plan designation and zoning from Urban Low Density Residential (UL) with single family residential (R1-6) zoning and Highway 99 Single Family Residential Overlay to Urban Medium Density Residential (UM) with Residential (R-18) zoning and Highway 99 Mixed Residential Overlay on one parcel (145032000) that is 1.99 acres.

The subject parcel is adjacent to a parcel to the south (144956000) that is split zoned with Urban Medium Density Residential (UM) with Residential (R-18) zoning and Urban Low Density Residential (UL) with single family residential (R 1-6). The portion of the parcel zoned R1-6 is a narrow strip running along the northern border of the property and is currently being used as parking for the multi-family residential development on the property. As a condition of site plan review, three parcels were combined to form the parcel, which had the two zones. The property owner did not reply when contacted by the applicant and county staff to include this section of their parcel in this proposed amendment.
