City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 15, 2024
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
Subject:
Ordinance 2024-007; Approving The Land Use Amendment To Rezone
Gateway Subdivision Addition No. 2 Tracts C4, C5, C6 & C7, Tract C-6,
Located A t 2301 Crabapple Street, From A Single-Family Residential (R1)
Zoning District To An Institutional (Ins) Zoning District, A s
Recommended In The Municipal Lands Inventory A nd Management Plan
Background and justification:
On November 27, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution 2023-132 update to the
Municipal Lands Inventory and Management Plan (MLIMP) that was recommended to them
by the Planning and Zoning Commission. This plan identifies municipal owned lands,
explains the current use of each land, and provides recommendations for the future
management of the lands. Certain properties within the plan were recommended by the
Planning and Zoning Commission to be rezoned. This Ordinance addresses one of those
properties.
Page 57-58 of the MLIMP identifies the location of the North Water Tank and Pumping
Facility on parcel 14535153 (2301 Crabapple Street). The parcel is currently zoned single-
family residential. A public utility facility requires a conditional use permit (CUP) within a
single-family residential zoning district. This facility received a CUP in 2015 by Resolution
2015-002. The CUP will remai n in effect regardless of the change in zoning and the
following conditions should be retained for the life and use of the structure to protect the
facility and adjacent properties:
1. The applicant shall provide safety and security fencing for the project.
2. The applicant shall install security lighting to reflect away from adjacent residential
areas.
3. Any proposed modification plans shall be subject to the public notice and public
hearing requirements of law, which shall occur only after payment of the filing fee
established by resolution of the City Council.
4. The water storage tank shall be a non-white color that blends with the environment.
An institutional zoning district allows a public utility facility outright. Since the area will
never be developed for housing, and is larger than one acre, the Commission has
recommended that it be rezoned from single-family residential to institutional.
On April 2, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution 2024-009,
recommending City Council approve the land use amendment to rezone 2301 Crabapple
Street.
The public notification process was complied with and the appropriate public hearing, as
required by Seward City Code §15.01.040.
