Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Rezoning request to change the zoning designation from General Agricultural District to Medium Density Residential District for a 24.58-acre parcel of land located in the Orchard Meadows Subdivision. In particular, the applicant is proposing to rezone the balance of Tract A located east of Elk Vale Road, less the area located within the floodway and less the 100 year Federally designated floodplain. The applicant has submitted a Master Plan for Orchard Meadows showing the future development of a senior living community within the 24.58-acre parcel. The Master Plan identifies the area of Orchard Meadows located within the 100 year Federally designated floodplain and the floodway as ‘Open Green Space & Park”. The applicant has indicated that upon approval of a letter of amendment to finalize the boundary of the 100 year Federally designated floodplain with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), they will coordinate with the City to transfer ownership of the “Open Green Space & Park” to the City pursuant to the terms of an “Agreement between the City of Rapid City and Yasmeen Dream 2, L.L.C., to exchange the Wally Byam site for land adjacent to the Rapid City Regional Airport”. The property is located at the western terminus of Jaffa Garden Way, directly east of Elk Vale Road. Currently, the property is void of any structural development. Development Review Team Contacts
