WHEREAS, included in the review of the Comprehensive Plan was a series of proposed
amendments to the City of Arlington Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map; and

amendment and concurrent rezone and finds it is not in the overall best interests of the citizens;

Section 1. Findings. The City Council adopts the following findings:
a. The subject property is already suitable for development in general
conformance with existing land use and the surrounding development
pattern, and with zoning standards under the existing zoning classifications.
b. While the amendment may be consistent with certain provisions of the
comprehensive plan, it is inconsistent with others.
c. When weighing the proposed amendment, the following factors weigh most
heavily in favor of denial of the proposed amendment at this time:
i. PL 7.1—" recommended changes in residential densities should be
based on the following: a) The overall impact to surrounding
properties".
ii. GL-8—" Preserve and promote the character, scale, and quality of
existing neighborhoods as new development occurs".
d. Following a balancing of the interests of the property owner, the neighboring
property owners, and the citizens of Arlington,the City Council concludes that,
at this point in time, the land use map amendment and concurrent rezone is
not in the best interests of the citizens, and the property that is the subject of
the amendment should not be rezoned; provided, however,this should not be
viewed as preventing future consideration of a rezone at a later date or in
ORDINANCE NO. 2019-017 1
future updates of Arlington's comprehensive plan.

Concurrent Rezone (PLN #523).
