Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. This is a request
to inquire about the feasibility of building a single-family home on the 9 acres
owned by the Catholic Diocese at the corner of Tannin Drive and Solera Way. The
old OS zone allowed one dwelling per parcel; the current zoning on the property
is OS-Rwhich does not allow dwelling units. A rezone to RR-A could allow a lot
split into two 4+ acre parcels.
Following discussion, Council concurred it would be appropriate to hear with the
General Plan Amendment hearings to be held in June, 1995.
