Dept:	Community Development
Date:	October 16, 2003
Submitted By:	John McLaughlin, Director of Community Development Bill Molnar, Senior Planner
Approved By: ...........................	Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator

Synopsis:	Planning Action 2003-112, is a request for Annexation and a Zoning Map Change from Jackson County zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for a 1.32-acre parcel located at the southern terminus of Clover Lane. The applicant is requesting a City zoning designation of E-1, which is consistent with the property's Comprehensive Plan designation of Employment. The E-1 zone allows for a variety of commercial and light industrial uses. If the City Council approves the Annexation, the applicant proposes to extend Clover Lane from the existing cul-de-sac southward approximately 140-feet, creating a new parcel (A & B) two either side of the street. Additionally, the applicant received Site Review approval to construct an approximately 9,000 square foot light-industrial commercial building on parcel "A" (building "A") and approximately 10,000 square foot light-industrial commercial building on parcel "B" (building "B")
Recommendation:	At its meeting on September 8, the Planning Commission made a recommendation that the City Council approve the request for Annexation of the 1.32 acre parcel. No action is required by the City Council on the Partition and Site Review component of the application because that was approved by the Planning Commission.
Fiscal Impact:	No fiscal impact to the City of Ashland.
Background:	At its meeting on September 8, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed the application for Annexation and Zoning Map amendment from Jackson County zoning RR-5 (Rural Residential) to City of Ashland zoning E-1 (Employment) for a 1.32 acre parcel located at the end of Clover Lane, south/southeast of the Holiday Express Inn. The application also includes a request for a two-lot Land Partition and Site Review approval for the development of two light industrial buildings on the property. On September 8, 2003, the Planning Commission approved the Land Partition and Site Review request to construct two buildings for light industrial/manufacturing use. The decision of the Planning Commission on the land Partition and Site Review components of the application is the final decision of the City unless appealed to the City Council.
