Existing Zoning:
Residential C (R-C, high-density residential)
Existing Use:
Vacant, undeveloped land
Adjacent Land Use/Zoning:

SOUTH R-1 (current FDC equivalent OTR - Old

Grant Village Rezoning Request
The site is approximately 28.71 acres and is located north of Grant Avenue and east of 1st
Street, southwest of Saddleback Golf Course. The Grant Village property and the former
Town Hall property are part of the Historic Firestone Neighborhood Plan (FHNP), which
recommends more housing density and active uses.
This site is currently zoned high-density residential (R-C). The application is proposing a
rezoning to medium-density residential (R-B). The purpose of R-C is to provide areas at a
gross density not to exceed 20 dwelling units per acre, with a minimum of 10 dwelling units
per acre required. In comparison to the current zoning, the proposed zoning R-B has a
gross density that is not to exceed 10 dwelling units per acre, with a minimum of 5 dwelling
units per acre required. The most significant difference between these zones is that R-B
allows single-family attached and detached dwelling units. The R-C zoning district allows
the same single-family dwelling units, as well as multifamily developments.

Plan, including the goals to revitalize and re-energize the Historic Firestone area

disposal, as applicable) will be available to serve the subject property while

subject property and maintain adequate levels of service to existing
development. During development, all referral reviews will be conducted to

upon the natural environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater
management, wildlife, and vegetation, or such impacts will be substantially
mitigated.
Staff Response: The proposed modifications are not likely to result in significant
adverse impacts on the natural environment.
E. The proposed zoning is not likely to result in significant adverse impacts
upon other property in the vicinity of the subject property.
Staff Response: The proposed modifications are unlikely to result in significant
adverse impacts on other properties in the vicinity of this property.

on other properties in the vicinity of the subject property.

other properties in the vicinity of the subject property.
