OVERLAY DISTRICTS / AREAS OF CONCERN None ISSUES TO CONSIDER/ALTERNATIVES If the area were rezoned, what uses would be allowed? Would a zoning change be consistent with the surrounding area? Would a zoning change be considered spot zoning? Would a zoning change be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and its Goals
and Objectives?
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Agricultural 40 district Development Options: *Allowed without rezoning*
Base density: 1 residential dwelling unit Residential 10 district Development Options: *Proposed rezoning*
Base density: 3 residential dwelling units Cluster development density: 5 residential dwelling units
PURPOSE STATEMENTS FOR THE AGRICULTURAL 40 AND RESIDENTIAL 10 ZONING DISTRICTS
9.3 Agricultural 40 zoning district Purpose Statement (current zoning) 9.6 Residential 10 zoning district Purpose Statement (proposed zoning) Consider the purposes and intent of each zoning district as shown in *Appendix A*.
CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
- This is in the Agricultural/Rural Area with most of it having a Natural Resources Overlay
Future Land Use Map: Agricultural/Rural This designation identifies agricultural uses and farmsteads related to the operations of the agricultural use at a maximum residential density of 1 unit per 40 acres or greater.
Rural Residential: The Comprehensive Plan recognizes not all of these areas are well suited for agricultural activities given their soil types or natural features. Therefore, the property owner should also be given the flexibility to develop their land as long as it meets certain criteria that balances residential uses with adjacent land uses. Clustering development is encouraged to preserve existing natural resources (e.g., wetlands, prairie, woodlands, habitat corridors, and viewsheds) or large areas for agricultural uses. Lot sizes may vary; however, properties are required to maintain enough buildable land to accommodate the construction of permitted structures, including primary and secondary septic systems or community systems.
LAND EVALUATION SITE ASSESSMENT SCORE (LESA) (see attached summary) The LESA system was designed specifically to assess where the best farmlands are located locally. They system provides an objective and consistent tool for evaluating the relative importance of specific sites for continued agricultural use.
The threshold for non-agricultural conversion is 65. The LESA score is 49.45.
The LE (land evaluation) score, which is based on the soils and their characteristics, is 23.9 The SA (site assessment) score, which is based on a site’s relative importance for agricultural
use, is 25.55.
TOWNSHIP RECOMMENDATION
Brockway Township recommended approval of the rezoning. See enclosed rezoning recommendation.
Staff Analysis: 1. Does the proposal conform to the County’s Comprehensive Plan? Why or why not? Future Land Use Map: Agricultural/Rural Area with Natural Resources Overlay Goals and Objectives: See attached Comp Plan Goals and Objectives spreadsheet 2. Is the proposed rezoning compatible with the present and future land uses in the area of the
proposal? There are approximately 29 homes, 3 registered feedlots with over 10 animal units and 3 with less than 10 animal units within a ½ mile of the property.
Present Zoning: Agricultural 40 Proposed Zoning: Residential 10
Future Land Use Map: Agricultural/Rural Area with Natural Resources Overlay LESA Score: 49.45 Scenic Views/Rural Character: To be determined by the Planning Commission
3. Are there environmental concerns that should be considered as part of this rezoning request? To be determined by the Planning Commission 4. Has information been provided regarding the impact to property values in the area as a result of the
rezoning? To be determined by the Planning Commission 5. Is there a potential for public health, safety or traffic generation impacts based on the proposed
rezoning and how will they be addressed? To be determined by the Planning Commission 6. How does the rezoning effect existing public services and facilities including schools, parks, streets and
utilities? To be determined by the Planning Commission 7. Other issues pertinent to this matter.
To be determined by the Planning Commission County Board meeting: October 20, 2020 Staff site visit(s): Jennifer Buckentine – TBD Attachments: Location map Application Township recommendation LESA summary Aerial photos Zoning maps Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives

☐ 3. Encourage agricultural practices that allow for co-existence with sensitive natural resources.
☐ 4. Encourage sustainable agricultural practices that protect prime farmland and water resources for future generation.
☒ 5. Projects that are located in an “Agricultural” area and are not agriculturally oriented should follow the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Factors to minimize conflicts with adjacent land uses and natural resources.
☐ 6. Rural housing related to the operations of the agricultural use should occur at a maximum density of 1 unit per 40 acres.
☒ Y N NA Crop and Product Diversification Policies
